Best hostel if you want to climb Imbabura with personally the best owner I have met in Ecuador, Emerson. He is really interested to get to know you and help you with anything you need, also works as a guide for the Imbabura at a reasonable price. We even did a calesthenics workout together and his two dogs are super friendly and cute, can really recommend 10/10. Also a great kitchen and a beautiful view in the outside area :)
Green House Araque Inn is a small family-run property located by Lake San Pablo in Araque, and featuring panoramic views of the Taita Imbabura volcano.

Beautiful place to stay, great views of the town, stunning sunsets, friendly fluff friends (including a really cuddly and chatty cat). Our room was really spacious, beds comfy, and lots of blanket to keep us warm. The town is 15 min walk, or less down, maybe more up. The owners are really friendly and help us out a lot (planning and organizing some side trip, deopping us off in town when we had bank issues, ect).
Breakfast was good and filling with warm bread, jam, eggs, fresh juice, tea, coffee, chocolate.

The staff were wonderful,, very helpful Great Wifi and Location
Travellers on a budget looking to experience a place like a local will enjoy homestays. This simple accommodation is in a private home, where the host also lives. All facilities are shared and in most cases breakfast is included.
I had an excellent stay at Refugio Terra Esperanza. Emerson was so helpful in answering all my questions. Excellent services. He cooked me breakfast for $3 and helped me call a taxi to Cumbre Imbabura (which I highly recommend). The place itself is rustic, but charming and cozy. It has great views of Imbabura and Cayambe, so definitely try to wake up early for that. Overall, I would highly recommend this refugio to anyone traveling here. Emerson is a great host and I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you Emerson!
