Hostal Curiñan, hotel in Otavalo

Offering a restaurant, Hostal Curiñan is located in Otavalo. The property features volleyball courts and free WiFi access. Each room here will provide you with a balcony, a patio and a terrace.

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.

Refugio Terra Esperanza, hotel in Otavalo

This colourful hostel offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and shared bathrooms in Esperanza town, only 100 metres from Santa Maria de la Esperanza church. Horse riding and trekking trips can be booked.

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 :)

    Lovely place, lovely hosts. Eduardo and Nathalie are really friendly and helpful. The cabaña was very nice, clean. The whole place is beautiful, in a quiet environment a little bit outside of Otavalo but not too far. The kids loved the homemade Zipline! And we even got to hear our hosts sing beautiful songs from different countries of Latin America on Saturday night. Breakfast with fresh fruit juice and delicious hot cocoa.

    This guesthouse was fantastic. The best place we've stayed in Ecuador so far. The room was ridiculously large, with three double beds, a sitting area, and a good bathroom with a nice hot shower. The shared kitchen had everything you need, there are a couple of common sitting areas, plus a rooftop with a small but lovely sitting area. View of the volcano from the roof. There is also a clothes washing machine available. Alberto was a great host and had tons of information about the area. Fantastic value.
