 Maillekeul welcoming me in
Hotel Auberge Inn by CaptainAmerica
In small towns or villages, you may pays less than USD2 for a night.
Do not hesitate to visit the room before making your choice.
If you intend to cook yourself, check whether there is a kitchen available and if this kitchen, as the case may be, is available to clients.

I think that this place is the best place I have ever been in - anywhere. It is set overlooking a beautiful lagoon in the Amazon rainforest. The peace and tranquility and the sounds of the birds make for a truly wonderful experience. This lodge operates on a package basis - and you cannot stay for less than 4 days 3 nights. The package includes transport to the lodge, accomodation, food, guide and excursions. The staff and guides were great and did their best to make the experience an unforgettable one. And the food is some of the best I have tasted anywhere - very high quality cuisine and great presentation. Accomodation is in individual bungalows with terrace, hammock, shower (with hot water), bed with mosquito net, towels and kerosene lamps for the night (there is just electricity for hot water and 1 bulb in the toilet - turned off after 10.00pm)
The excursion are tailored to the guest's liking - be it birdwatching, hikes in the forest, visits to parrot licks, piranha fishing ... The lodge also has a bird tower high above the forest canopy, many trails as well as a butterfly farm.
Its location is the best feature - remote and with stunning views of the lagoon. In the middle of the lagoon they have placed a small floating platform so that you can either swim or kayak to it to enjoy the jungle from a unique perspective.
There are plenty of things one can do in the afternoon in between excursions - swimming in the lagoon, kayaking, piranha fishing, visiting the butterfly farm, or just lazying about in the hammocks enjoying the atmosphere.

This is one of the nicest hostels I've been in - with the friendly atmosphere and intriguing decor. Spotlessly clean, but too many stairs!!! Quito is at 2800m elevation so you really get out of breath lugging your packpack for endless amount of stairs! If I was really satisfied? I stayed there 4 times during my stay in Ecuador and stayed nowhere else in Quito. They also have a nice double room with private shower priced at $20 - very worthwhile. They also arrange for Spanish lessons and have plenty of information on what to do whilst in Ecuador. Staff are all foreign and very friendly and helpful.
The rooftop terrace is really great - the view is spectacular and everyone congregates to enjoy dinner and a beer together on one long table.

 Hotel Palace & Manto de
la Virgen Waterfall by SanguiniA
The best thing about the hotel is its location - just underneath the Manto de la Virgen waterfall, in a quiet street. Nowhere is far from the town centre anyway, just a couple of minutes and you are in the bustle of the town centre.

 charming old farmhouse turned
hostel by richiecdisc
This hosteria near Cotopaxi National Park was in a converted farmhouse so it was very rustic. It was charming but not as functional as say our room in Quito yet it was more money despite kind of being out in the middle of nowhere. It’s not like you could walk to Cotopaxi! But it was a very nice place and I would stay there again. It had a certain charm and it was a beautiful setting. In fact, many people seemed to like just hanging around the place and doing nothing in particular. Prices ranged depending on private facilities and if it was heated. We paid $24 our first night with private bath and NO heat and then $18 for a room with shared bath but a nice cozy fireplace! It seems after that we never paid more than $20 no matter where we wound up.
Look for more details on my Cotopaxi page. Theme: HostelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: www.hosteria-papagayo.comDirections: This is off the Pan American Highway, south of Machachi.

 Me with the owners'
family dog in the garden by SanguiniA |
 D enjoys a hot drink in our
little oasis by richiecdisc
It’s not all about saving money either. You will not find a view like this in any hotel and as for privacy; all you have to worry about are the cows that come looking inquisitively at that “blue thing” in their pasture. ;) Theme: CampgroundComparison: least expensiveDirections: Just look for a place out of the wind (even if it isn't windy that second, make believe it might get windy because it WILL) and close enough to some water to make your stay pleasant.

Such a nice hostel, with 2 buildings (I would recommen the biggest one, much less noise).
The señora is very sympathetic and will give you all the information, the food and ater you need (groceries).
We paid 10 USD a night for 2 people
Un tres bon hotel, sur deux batiments (je recommande le plus grand, au fond, loin des bruits de la rue). La señora est tres sympa et vous donnera toutes sortes d'informations, et vous ouvrira les portes de son epicerie.
Nous avons paye 10 USD par nuit pour 2.

Sur la rue principale, au bord de l'Ocean, apres une premiere epicerie a un angle (ou demandez, c'est facile)

The rooms are colourful, and even if the place is next to the main market (that,after all, is not such an inconvenient !), the hotel is very calm. Hot water and local TV.
Les chambres sont colorees et la proximite du marche n'est vraiment pas de nature a perturber le repos des Justes. Eau chaude et TV locale.
6 USD per person when the other hostels require at least 7 USD per person...
6 USD par personne, quand les autres adresses vous en factureront 7. Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Corner Calle Echeverria / Calle 2 de MayoDirections: Next to the main market A cote du marche principal
