Colonial House

Quito


The colonial facade leads travelers into a warren of 13 brightly painted rooms, both dorms and doubles with shared or private bathrooms. There is a games room with a pool table, and a backyard garden with hammocks, a barbecue and pet rabbits. The guest rooms are variously shaped and variously appealing, though all have (sloping) wood floors.

The vibe is bohemian and easygoing, and there's a guest kitchen and several comfy common areas. Another plus is free coffee, grown on the owner's family farm.
