I recently had a wonderful stay at a hostel in Ecuador. the single room was affordable and clean, with a private bath and plenty of hot water. the location was perfect, just two blocks from a central park and a short walk from the bus terminal. the owner of the hostel was incredibly helpful and friendly, even going so far as to walk me around town on my first night. the staff was also very kind and always ready for a chat. It was a great value overall, and I highly recommend this place. Cons: Nothing, all great! 👍.

Clean and comfortable rooms. Great value for money. Location was perfect, close to the center of town but not too noisy. The staff was super nice and helpful, arranging tours and holding bags until departure. No breakfast provided, but easy to buy supplies nearby.
The view described in the listing was not as expected. Staff and reception were often hard to find as they were locked/closed.

The hotel offered affordable single rooms and spacious beds, perfect for a comfortable stay during my Christmas holiday. The staff were friendly and always available, making communication easy. the location was great, just off the main street, providing a peaceful environment away from the noise of the bar area.
There were a few negative aspects during my stay. The curtains in the room could have been thicker, as they were slightly see-through and didn't provide enough privacy.

I had a wonderful stay at Hostal Timara with my mom. Jose, the owner , was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with great recommendations and allowing us to store our luggage while we explored Quilotoa.

Would recommend this hotel.
