A Cozy, Budget-Friendly Gem with Great Transit Access*
Hostel Sabaoth is a fantastic find for budget travelers visiting Quito. Despite its highly affordable price tag, the hostel manages to feel incredibly cozy and welcoming, offering a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind after a long day of exploring the city. The common areas are comfortable, and the staff does a great job of maintaining a clean and friendly environment.
Location-wise, it is incredibly convenient. The hostel is just a short walk from the Solanda metro station, which is a massive plus. It makes hopping on the metro to reach the historic center or other parts of Quito quick, cheap, and hassle-free.
The surrounding neighborhood is also a big highlight. You won't have to worry about going hungry or running out of supplies, as the area is packed with nearby local shops and casual eateries. It’s the perfect spot to grab authentic, delicious, and inexpensive local meals.
Overall, Hostel Sabaoth offers excellent value for money. If you are a backpacker or budget traveler looking for a comfortable base with easy transit links and plenty of nearby amenities, this is a highly recommended choice!
Awesome stay at the best hotel in Mindo. Thanks to Marco and team for the superb service, always quick to respond to any enquiry on WhatsApp even before I arrive. He also arranged a driver to pick me to/from Quito, who came in a 4 door 4wd but despite limited English, was really nice and drives safely. Location is convenient as they can always call for a taxi which arrives in minutes and going to town is $3. Birdwatching-wise was good in the hotel, I saw 20 species in 2 days with 2 toucan species, bronze winged parrot and crested guan particularly memorable for me but hummingbirds are few. The room balcony is very productive but the upstairs main lounge has different variety of birds.
I stayed in the luxury cabin which is on a more secluded and slightly higher area than the deluxe cabin. Generally very quiet except for odd moments where loud music can be heard for a couple of songs in day time and also for some reason at around 9pm the dogs bark for 5-10 mins.
But overall, very relaxed and restful stay and definitely recommended to stay here. The saddest part was not staying longer.
