I came to visit for 2 nights with my friend Sally and our guide. The hospitality of Sra Lolita and her brother was fantastic. It felt like home, tucked away in these spectacular mountain surroundings. The home-cooked meals were all delicious, and so were the Pisco sours.

Amazing staff and owners. The food was great, the rooms were comfortable and the sauna was excellent and fairly priced. I was experiencing a bit of altitude sick was and the owners immediately offered me medicine to help.
This is a must see beautiful place. The drive to Quiatola has some of the most spectacular views in Ecuador. The views at Quiatola are breathtaking. Be prepared to pay a nominal per person fee to get into the park at Quiatola.

The Princessa Tia Hotel is the place to stay in Quilatoa,...
The Princessa Tia Hotel is the place to stay in Quilatoa, best location, great breakfast, large room and bathroom, very clean and comfortable bed. But the best feature is the rooms all have an electric heater. Quilatoa is cold, so the benefit of the heater, which is rare to find anywhere in Ecuador, is amazing!
The rim hike is beautiful but steep and slippery in places. Poles would be a good idea. The hike down to the lake is surprisingly long, steep and slippery. There are horses or mules that can take you back up for $10 pp. Get out early as the fog moves in around 4pm and obscures visibility of the lake. The sun in the morning makes the water’s colors amazing. You can take a kayak out or go for a motorized ride in a zodiac.
The town is tiny and closes up early so don’t delay going to dinner. There are no pharmacies or banks and only 1 ATM which wouldn’t work with our card. Also, be careful because there are no gas stations for the entire Quilatoa Loop. Fill up before heading up either route to Quilatoa.

We were in Quitoloa during the low season.
We were in Quitoloa during the low season. Not too crowded :)
Accommodations at Cuchirawa Hostel were directly across from the crater. Ample free parking; we walked everywhere. Enjoyed a post-hike beer at a restaurant on the crater ridge.

The Quilotoa Loop was absolutely worth every step!
The Quilotoa Loop was absolutely worth every step! For sure start from Sigchos so you can have the lagoon as a reward after 3 days of difficult hiking. The hikes were beautiful (although rather steep) and a fantastic way to reach Quilotoa.

The views were breathtaking and amazing; there was a 6hr hike around the rim with a few areas the path made you doubt what you were doing but overall it was worth it; the hike down to the water takes about 30-40 minutes and 1-1.5hrs to hike out - I am not an avid hiker and it took me 2hrs to climb back up. The trail is slippery and hiking poles were beneficial. I'd love to go back and do the 4 days hike around.

Trekked the Quilotoa loop. It was amazing!
Trekked the Quilotoa loop. It was amazing! the views are fantastic and it is a medium difficulty hike. The only problem was coming down the highest point. It is incredibly slippery and there is nothing to hang on to. The ground is loose dirt so one has to be VERY careful.
A very nice guesthouse with nice staff. Clean, nice rooms, wifi. Close to the town gate and to the lake. It is now $2 per person to enter Quilotoa town.
Dinner is at 7.
The buses leave Quilotoa every hour, but there is a lot of unpredictable waiting for passengers so it took my bus over 2.5 hours though it was a 1.5 hour drive.
Buses from latacunga to Quilotoa leave at 8,10 and noon.
Location was great, although farther from the crater from other hostels (though only just a few minutes walk through town).
Staff were nice and they held our bags for free while we hiked.
Good hot shower
They made us a fire which was great because it was otherwise really cold (the norm for the region it seems)
Breakfast was decent, but a little small - eggs, bread, and fruits.
I loved the location of this place right next to Quilotoa Lake. The included breakfast and dinner were pretty good, but I enjoyed the included meals at Llu Llu Llama better (in another town along the hike). I loved the fireplace in the rooms and how you could request for them to start a fire to warm up the room. This was so unique. As a solo female traveler I felt safe.
The family is sweet and welcoming;
Breakfast and dinner were filling and comforting;
Location is very close to the Laguna - we did the hike around the crater;
We had the hostel to ourselves with another couple for 1 night so it was very peaceful and quiet;
A fire was lit in our room at night as it gets pretty cold in Quilotoa;
Hot water in the shower is always a plus!
The hosts, Doña Ester y Don Gonzalo, went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. They prepared a firewood for us and we had a delicious supper in their company, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Hostal Rosita is on the track linking Quilotoa to Chugchilan, about 500 meters from the village of Guyama San Pedro.
The location is central and right in front of quilotoa Lake. The food was delicious, and the prices were remarkably reasonable. Many guides and day visitors visited the place. There is a little market in the lobby with souvenirs etc., that is very convenient. At night the fire in the room is started by the hotel staff.
At only a 5 mn walk from the "Quilotoa mirador".
Nice hosts, available.
Quite basic amenities but we knew about it (the fact that the heating is replaced by a fireplace prepared by the host and to be handled by us was part of the "adventure").
Good dinner included in the reservation.
After one night we decided to stay longer. The location is great and the beds are very comfortable and warm. It's a very good price for what they give, also the food (diner and breakfast included) is good. A nice and cozy place to get to know Quilotoa and it's beautiful surroundings!
The hostel is a bit outside quilotoa but only a 7 min walk. They give you a lot of blankets and a heater which you need as it's cold! However, one of the best nights of sleep ever! The guy who worked there was really nice and very polite and made us simple but tasty meals!
The hotel is located right across from one of the best views of Quilotoa crater lake. It was very convenient to access the hiking trails. The shower was great; hot with good water pressure. The staff tried hard to be helpful; it is obviously a local family run business.
Friendly staff and a super cute hostel, which is actually more like a hotel.
Everything looked nice and new. The shower was hot, the bed was comfy, and dinner and breakfast were tasty. There was even an electical heater and a fireplace in our room!
The room was so warm and cozy. Between the wood burning stove and the many blankets, we stayed warm all night. Breakfast and dinner were good. wifi was strong. The owners were so kind and attentive. We definitely recommend this hostel!
the hostel is very cosy and extremely tidy, room are spacious with hot water and a stove, food is delicious and the family that runs the place is very friendly and accomodating. Overall a great find in Quilotoa.
Additional heating available, since temperatures can fall below zero during night. Perfect breakfast and dinner. Super location at the beginning of Quilotoa village.
