About Hostel Revolution

Welcome! ‘Bienvenidos’ to Hostel Revolution - a friendly, small & cozy owner-operated Backpacker hostel in Historical Quito.

We are located on the northern edge of the beautiful Historical Center of Quito near Alameda Park, easy walking distance to all the main attractions. Explore the cobbled streets, plazas, museums, parks and courtyards and soak up the traditional atmosphere. The historical center has recently been revigorated as a result of a massive restoration process.

HR is in a colonial type house with wooden floors and decorative plaster ceilings. We have a rooftop terrace with great views,ample clean & modern bathrooms and common area/bar.

HR is also the home of Matt and Maria, an Australian / Ecuadorian couple and their small dog, Shakira. HR is not a rowdy party hostel but a small capacity (18 person), chilled hostel for people of all ages, which provides a comfortable base to visit the historical center.

Alameda Park & the observatory – both recently renovated and restored – 1 block away
