Situated in Otavalo, Hostal Chasqui has a garden, terrace, bar, and free WiFi. All rooms feature a kitchen and a private bathroom. Rooms come with a patio with a mountain view.

At the hostel, the rooms have a desk. Some units at Hostal Chasqui have a balcony. The units have a wardrobe.

The place offers good, cheap private rooms with a balcony and comfy beds, while still maintaining a hostel vibe, with many backpackers gathering in the kitchen. The kitchen has everything you need if you wanna cook, and the rooftop is one of the most beautiful I've seen. I ended up extending my stay over and over again. The place is located a bit outside the main area. I generally think that it's an advantage, because people who stayed at the center complained about noise. All the important places are within walking distance, though you get a bit tired of taking this route every time. The staff was friendly and happy to help with finding attractions, arranging taxis and other issues that I have. No English, but a lot of experience with non-Spanish speakers like me

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Best deal in Otovalo. Spacious room with kitchen. Bicycles were stored safe in the apartment. Kitchen well enough equiped, we even were given a brand new kettle. All hostels in Otovalo were more expensive than this apartment.

    A very nice hostel where you immediately feel like you are in good hands. The family is very nice and accommodating and there are many hiking opportunities in the area besides Otavalo. You also get an impression of rural life in Ecuador, which I really liked.

    Wonderful hostel! Owned and managed by a delightful indigenous family who took the time to tell us about local life. Quiet location a bit outside of town, but within easy walking distance, even with kids. Felt very safe and had secure parking. Nice views of the valley and volcanoes. We would definitely stay there again!

    Stunning guesthouse in great location, a couple of blocks from the market. Despite the central location the guesthouse is extremely quiet, with no street noise. The room was huge and the beds were extremely comfortable- we had the best sleep we’ve had in a long time! The architecture is gorgeous, the photos just don’t do it justice! The guesthouse has everything you need for a comfortable short or longer term stay, including a well equipped kitchen if you would like to do some cooking. The host was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
