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 staff is really friendly: they do remind me on a couple of grandparents who want to make your stay as comfortable as possible. After traveling 3 weeks through Ecuador this place has by far the nicest rooms we have seen. They are spacious, new and very nice decorated providing all facilities you need.
The owner of the hotel provided dinner in the evening which was really good at a very fair price. Communication was a bit hard because they don't speak English very well, but the owners are very open and willing to help.
Hostal Doña Clarita & Vegetarían Food is a recently renovated homestay in Chugchilán, where guests can make the most of its open-air bath and garden.

One of the best place I ever stayed. Excellent meals with enough food (and I eat a lot). The free banana bread and cookies are really a plus, and so delicious. The lunch box is also really nice. The son even drove me for free to the doctor, because I was bitten by a dog during my walk. The common area is tiny but so comfortable.
Hostal backpackers is set in Chugchilán and features a shared lounge. With quiet street views, this accommodation features a patio.

Clean,good value for money
And Maria and Walter been the sweetest host ever.
If you are on the Kilotoa hike don't forget to ask for the delicious sandwiches
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.
The Staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly. I got very sick with a GI bug while there and they allowed us to extend out stay, provided bread and extra TP for me without question, came to light our stove numerous times a day when asked and helped my friend get to a farmacia in a nearby town to purchase medicine for me. Though I couldn't eat it, my travel companions were impressed by the included breakfast and dinner, and enjoyed their food and staff interactions greatly! Bathrooms were clean and functional.
Nice hotel/hostel with character especially upstairs. Rooms are roomy, beds are big and clean. We even have a wood burning stove in our room which made the night warm and cozy. Be careful with the smoke though. Downstairs is very spacious with lots of arts (for sale) created by the hotel workers (they could be the hotel owners). Unfortunately, we didn't get to interact with them much coz we speak a little Spanish. Dinner and breakfast were sumptuous. And it's only a 10 minute walk to the entrance to the lake.
Martita’s is a very cute hotel with a lot of charm. It was clean and cozy and is in a great location - only a few minutes walk away from the bus stop, restaurants, artesanal shops and hiking trails. The breakfast (included in the price) was great: eggs, bread, fruit, yogurt and coffee/tea/water. The dinner was also tasty, filling and reasonably priced. Our room had a space heater, but it can still be quite chilly inside so bring warm clothes!
There were stains on the towels and bedding but the down comforters were nice and honestly a must have because it gets close to 0 degrees C at night. It was the most expensive hostel by far during my trip so I expected it to be cleaner but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I'd recommend just taking a day trip to Quilotoa instead of staying there as it's a town built solely around tourism and there's not much besides the lagoon.
The staff was great - very friendly and provided helpful information. The shower had hot water, and the wood stove heated the room nicely. Dinner and breakfast were both solid with plentiful tasty food. It’s not a luxury hotel, but extremely charming and well-maintained. Excellent value for money. It is also well-situated between the town and crater access and the bus stop right outside of town.

Beautiful hotel just outside the Laguna Quilotoa. Personnel was very kind and helpful. We had a room with a terrace with a wonderful view over the mountains. All what's necessary is provided - along with breakfast, dinner and a stove in a room, in case you got cold (remember it is 4000m above sea level)
Great facility, literally 20 meters from the Mirador overlooking Laguna Quilotoa! Great price for a single room with en suite. Food included in price was great. Highly recommend this place and the living room space was really nice and the fire in the room which they lite was the icing on the cake!
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.

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.
We loved the fireplace both in our room and the dining area. The food was great, staff was friendly and the location easy to find after completing the Quilotoa loop!
Lots of warm blankets on the bed, clean and comfortable and great value.
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!
Additional heating available, since temperatures can fall below zero during night. Perfect breakfast and dinner. Super location at the beginning of Quilotoa village.
