    I had a wonderful stay at a lovely family-run place in central Otavalo. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They took the time to draw maps and give suggestions for the places I wanted to visit, like the Condor Park. The room was clean and cozy, with a comfortable bed and warm bedding for the chilly nights. The included breakfast was delicious and the location was perfect, just a short walk from the main square and the bustling market. I highly recommend this place for a delightful stay in Otavalo.

    We loved the family atmosphere at this hostel, with attentive staff who went out of their way to provide meals and arrange taxis for our tours. the location was perfect, close to the Otavalo market and restaurants. the rooms were spacious and clean, and we enjoyed relaxing outside in the beautiful gardens. the breakfast in the morning was a dream, with a variety of delicious options to start our day. we highly recommend this hostel to anyone traveling to Otavalo.

    The only issue we experienced was feeling too well taken care of - the staff were always available to help and provide information, making us feel right at home.

    Excellent value for the price! The staff at El Geranio were incredibly friendly, and the manager, Dani, provided us with invaluable tips for exploring the area. They even let us check out late so we could visit the local market before leaving. The room was clean and modern, and the breakfast was delicious. Despite a few minor inconveniences, such as the shower temperature and noise from outside, I would highly recommend this hostel. I had a fantastic stay and would definitely choose to stay here again.

    We had a fantastic stay at this family-run hotel! The location was central, just a couple of blocks away from the bustling market. Our room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed and a well-maintained bathroom with hot water. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The breakfast was a highlight, with delicious options like a tomato denarbol omelet and fresh pineapple. We also appreciated the communal kitchen and the stunning view of the town and mountains from the hidden rooftop.

    Some information on check-in and breakfast timings could have been clearer.
