The rooms facing the street can be a little noise, but we were so tired it didn't really bother us. The terrace was great for late afternoon relaxing and visiting. ##### Marcia Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rhian 16 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Brilliant hostel, great location, good food. Doña Esther was lovely. I requested a quiet room and had a great night’s sleep. The bed was comfy and, although the weather was a bit chilly in the evening, they provided a thick extra blanket for the bed, so I was plenty warm enough to sleep. The shower had lots of lovely warm water and internet was reliable. Even better, the on-site restaurant was brilliant. Breakfast was lovely but the evening meal even better. Really delicious food. I would definitely stay again. ##### Rhian Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Siamak 1 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities They tried to give us a single bed, when we had booked for a couple. The pictures they have posted is nothing like the property. No TV, $5 per night for parking when they list parking on property. This is for budget backpackers, not a hotel. ##### Siamak Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JUAN MARTIN 6 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities thanks ##### JUAN MARTIN Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Molly 20 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hostal Dona Esther is in an excellent location for a stay in Otavalo. Though close to the activity, the courtyard creates a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. The rooftop terrace is nice for views and hanging out. There is a covered section in case its raining. Lucy and all the staff were excellent, attentive, helpful with all things. The included breakfast allowed for many options and was ample and delicious. Dinner is one of the best in Otavalo. Rooms are smallish, but adequate, hot water plentiful, daily service. Purified water is available. Wonderful place, all you need. ##### Molly Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Teresa 3 Aug 2025 Cxxx ##### Teresa Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ramon 23 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Muy buena atención ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5d4b41f6-7a1e-4341-99cf-c3ee7edcec84-1750687328297.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ramon Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stéphanie 16 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Jolie hôtel, très bien situé.
