Masaya also offers cultural activities & events to immerge their guests in the local Ecuadorian culture.

Everything I look for in a hostel, almost.

I stayed a week in the 9 person dorm, and it was a pleasure. The restaurant serves delicious food. The front desk staff were always friendly and helpful. The location is just a few minutes from Plaza Grande. For the budget traveler, it doesn't get much better than this. But there is no place for conveniently washing and drying clothes.

Amazing for families with young children

Reviewed By B5269XTkatiep

I nearly cancelled my reservation before we came because I thought a hostel so inexpensive would not be suitable for my small kids, who are 16 months and 4 years. I was worried about the vibe, would people be annoyed with them, would people be too loud etc. This is definitely a hostel but has an absolute hotel vibe. There is no drinking allowed in the main areas and nobody is allowed to hang out past ten pm,which has made it quiet and lovely. When I booked, I was concerned about the open windows as my children are so little, and they kindly booked us in a room with the windows facing the hall. It has been quiet and peaceful. My children are welcomed. The beds are big enough to share with kids and the blankets are warm and cozy. The temperature is perfect. It is spotlessly clean and the kitchens have tons of space. The front door faces a sort of alley (although not sketchy) so the kids can walk in and out safely. It is so close to all the restaurants, grocery, bus terminal and places to organize trips. Honestly you don't have to break the bank to get comfort here! Book it!

Great Hostel

Reviewed By mikot286

I was staying at another hostel which was ok and more expensive, when I found the blue house nearby I moved ASAP. It has a great atmosphere, very safe, cheap, and has everything you could ask for from a hostel. The dueños are very easy going and friendly too.

My second "home" in Ecuador

Reviewed By till_grame

After staying at the Montañita Cabañas for almost 2 months for learning Spanish in the nearby school, this lovely place feels really like home to me. My room which I shared with 2 other friends was very clean for Ecuadorian standards, the bed comfortable and the shower has warm water. The staff overall was really helpful, but we could find the cleaning staff very often though, it would have been nicer to have them around more available. Also on the weekends the Wifi gets slow sometimes.

Simple and nice with a lot of birds flying aroud

Reviewed By 160b_rbaran

It's a simple Hostal, but does the trick. HE GOOD: - Very close to "downtown" - Great Breakfast (Crape with chocolate sauce, various fruits, bread, butter, jam, coffee and juice) in a beautiful terrace where lots of birds are flying around - Clean - Affordable - Big rooms - They have some tours to offer - Filtered water in the first floor - Great service THE BAD - There were a couple of nightclubs very close by, so it was a bit noisy at night - The shower was kind of bad - No nightstand light - VERY simple rooms. I don't mind it, but it might discourage older folks like me. VERDICT Great for the price, I would stay there again.

Clean, comfortable, but no English spoken

Reviewed By psych4travel

Spent one night here before heading to the Amazon. My room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The shower had good water pressure and hot water (just wait a minute or so for it to come on). Wifi signal was strong. I had dinner and this is where I am taking off a star. The staff doesn’t speak English and there was no question about dietary preference and my main protein was something I don’t eat. Breakfast was excellent! The property itself is beautiful and nice to enjoy and relax.

Feel free to browse our hostal book exchange, chat with our friendly Ecuadorian and foreign staff, check your email (free use of computer and free Wifi), or just relax listening to any of our wide selection of music.

Great atmosphere, staff and organization

Reviewed By MariaA1576

We stayed for a week in total at the secret garden. Dorms are basic but clean and beds are very comfortable with a privacy curtain. The roof top has a great vibe and beautiful views and food was good and affordable. Because of the bar it's loud, but what I appreciated tremendously was that it closes at 11 with plenty of opportunities to go elsewhere after. Even arranged by the hostel. That meant the rest of us who needed to sleep could actually do so! Don't forget to visit the Cotopaxi hostel, it's a must!

Keep Returning Here and It Feels Like Home

Reviewed By KZFGPS01

This is my third time staying at this property in 2021. I stayed for a week in February, then brought my husband back for a month in March and now I am back for a month in September. Each time I return I see very nice improvements. The hosts and workers are spectacular and very responsive and respectful. I have received GREAT advice about what to do and where to do it. I feel like I am coming home each time I return. If you cannot be happy here, you cannot be happy anywhere. The owner and workers are lifelong residents, the info and help they provide is invaluable.
