HOTELS:
FAMILY HOSTAL IN QUITO
Rating 10 - very recommended
CASA CANELA (New!!!) ***********
Mercadillo OE 2 45 and Versailles near Market Santa Clara Quito, Ecuador
Tel. 234 128
5 single rooms with private bathrooms Costs: 9 $ pp. incl. breakfast (July 2000) (ask for special monthly rates).
This place offers a nice mixture between family stay and a hostal. It has the advantages of a family (e.g. nice family atmosphere and the possibility to practise Spanish) but also leaves you free to come and go as you please. The family has two sons around 20 and at least on of them (Andres) speaks English. They started renting rooms 4 month ago and made changes to the house to improve the rooms (adding bathrooms). The place has hot water 24 hours. It is centrally located and feels very safe.
I use Casa Canella as my base for my trips and always like to come back here.
