Hostels in SierraHostel

It was the best hostel we’ve ever stayed at. We played games, learned salsa, and ate really well. The atmosphere was amazing such a great vibe.

We did the free walking tour today with Louis. We met at the rooftop of the Community Hostel, which is a beautiful space with a magnificent view and delicious looking food.

Stayed here on two separate occasions in January 2026 and wouldn’t choose anywhere else!

Absolutely brilliant hostel.
We stayed twice because the beds and pillows were so comfortable. The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the showers were excellent with plenty of hot water.

Amazing hostel – warm, peaceful, and feels like home.
Colonial House Inn is a truly wonderful hostel.

This is by far the best hostel I’ve ever visited! They treat you like family — a place you never want to leave. The staf is amazing. They are all so kind and ready to help you with whatever you need.

Felt more like a home than a hostel, I wanted to stay for a couple of days and ended up staying for a week. There is a cozy living room, a great roof terrace for yoga and the kitchen is well equipped.

Our stay at the hostel was great the hostel has everything you need and more.
The service is also amazing, receptions helps you with everything.

Super nice hosts! we could leave our luggage for a couple of days there.

The terrace is amazing! A sheltered spot that is very quiet and has lots of different spaces to hang out. The room was massive, and the bathroom was amazing.

I enjoyed the comfortable room and the location in the historic district. The light breakfast was good. Tours were available as well. The staff were kind and helpful.

I had a very pleasant stay at this warm and cozy hotel. It offers excellent value for money. Having a nice TV with Netflix was a big plus and really helped with my jet lag.

We had a fantastic stay at this hostel. The food was both delicious and very reasonably priced, and the family-style dinners and breakfasts made it easy to meet other travelers.

Great Hostel, really great vibes — offer loads of free tours and family dinners making it extremely sociable. Staff are lovely and made it very easy to book tours throughout my stay.

Wonderful Hostel, very nice chill out areas, located in the Historical Centre and near the Metro Station. Everything gets cleaned every day.

I love the architecture of this hostel, is like staying in a mansion from the 1800. A vibrant well preserve colonial house, a magical garden and a tree house.

I had a great stay at Hostal La Guayunga. Adriana at the reception was amazing — super helpful, warm, and always made everything easy. Lily, the chef, was also great.

Beautiful place. Wonderful service. A charming Brazilian met us, very kind family. I will return in December.

Absolutely hidden gems! 💎
Sitting in a perfect location for old town sightseeing spot by walking distance. Surrounded by few restaurants and convenient store nearby.

Great hotel! Clean and comfortable rooms, really nice staff and good breakfast.

Heyho!
Last month I've spent there 3 nights.
Overall the comfort of this "hostel" is outstanding, marvellous. It's actually a house with a garden in a rich, posh district of Cuenca.

I loved staying at this hostel — very clean, friendly staff, good breakfast, safe and quiet neighborhood, comfy big beds in dorms, amazing green backyard!

Very kind owner of the place who gave a lot of recommendations! Her service would be 5 stars, however the location of the hostel is not perfect.

Loveed it. Cozy skeep, good / safe area with everything you need tmfor food walking distance. Ecuadorian people are wonder and friendly. Was the highlight of the trip. This hostel is fantastic.

Superb hostel managed by two great gentleman. Spacious, peaceful with all the amenities and more!

I stayed here for three days, and it was the best stay I have had in a hostel!

Rooms are excellent, comfy and well located. As a solo female traveler I felt safe the whole time!

Great budget hostel conveniently located walking distance to Parque Carolina and La floresta neighborhood.
Darwin, the host/receptionist was great!

If you are going to Cuenca, Please Stay Here. Starting with Mr Tony, very respectful Host, Open to talk and give recomendations about Cuenca and almost everything and everywhere in Ecuador.

I recently stayed at this hostel in Cuenca the first week of September 2025, and while the accommodations were simple and straightforward, it was the exceptional service from the owner and manager,

Excellent welcome and service (very attentive managers, speaking English). I highly recommend this hotel!

Big spacious room, hot water in the shower, nice breakfast included and great friendly price. The room was a little cold but we asked and got a heater.

Lovely people very accommodating but the showers could be slightly better. Amazing breakfast at good price. Comfy and good open spaces with a pool table that was highly used. Good location.

Good sized en-suite room with a very comfortable bed, kept very clean, like a cosy cave, hides the city noise within the pleasant courtyard (Quito can be very loud), and good to explore each side of

I needed a place to nap for like 3 hours but the place seemed to have a really cool vibe.

For the price paid this place is great. Some of the other reviews notably the last 1/5 star comprises of pure lies.

The family that owns and runs this hostel is a treasure! The breakfast is modest but still good. They are obsessive about cleaning, so the place is always perfectly spotless.

One of the nicer hostels that I’ve stayed in. Great, friendly and helpful staff. Very, very safe. Neighborhood is somewhat dicey at night.

Think Bohemian. Scruffy. Edgy. This is a vibrant hostel that is inexpensive, friendly, and rough around the edges.

Great 24h service; clean, spacious but basic private rooms.
We arrived in Cuenca early in the morning and had difficulty getting a response from other "24 hour reception" hostels.

This hostel is good for traveling on a budget. It is conveniently located — very close to everything in the Centro Histórico. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are cleaned frequently.

My stay at Huasi Lodge has been extremely pleasurable, in a calm and charming house in the barrio of San Blas, from which you can easily walk to the old city centre.

You can’t beat this price! It is close to everything. The rooms/beds are spacious and comfortable! The hosts are very helpful. Breakfast is outstanding.

Great hostel for price with 4BR. 5-10 min walk to downtown area and local parks. Free breakfast is a plus, although patio could be renovated. Also great nightlife and atmosphere!

Amazing location, safe, very friendly owner and his mother, curtains on the beds, nice outside and inside areas for relaxing and reading a book.
