Delightful, feline friendly hotel within a stone’s throw of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel is very clean. It was the first place in Ecuador I could sleep without using earplugs! The breakfast and common areas were also fantastic. Highly recommended.

Sharon

Liked: Staff & service
Bed was comfortable and room size was good. Breakfast lacked substance, but was varied slightly each day. Portion sizes were small. The 'buffet' was split between two rooms. There is not enough seating at breakfast. I had to wait for people to finish on one occasion.Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hostal has a 'silence after 9pm' policy. However, there are no staff in the hostal from 9pm to enforce it. Downstairs lounge areas are open plan below bedrooms so you can hear conversations at any time of day.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Beds were hard as rocks, even with earplugs we were wakened every night. Our room was tiny (2 twin beds against side walls with 18" between them and maybe 24" between beds and dresser. Room had no ventilation, was musty smelling and humid, nothing would dry, tiny closet area. Parking cost $10 daily for tiny lot across the street, everything was soaked by the time we got into the hotel. Staff is very friendly and courteous, breakfast was ok. Other rooms were much larger, airy, good ventilation but also hard beds. Staff were nice and location is great, but I will never stay here again, very little sleep for 4 nights. Many other options in the same area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We adored our stay at Pepe’s! The room and bed (firm) were comfortable and to our liking. The location is *very* walkable to several squares, restaurants, shopping, and even a few great beer spots (two breweries and a Belgian spot). Alexandria and Estephanie were extremely accommodating and warm, we were very grateful for them. The breakfasts were big and delicious, and daily coffee nice and strong! We had heard that the towels and blankets in Ecuador were rough but not at Pepe’s! Soft towels, sheets, blankets, pillows…heaven. The plants and natural light gave it a wonderful feel that enticed us to spend more time there than we normally do when on travel adventures. Our favorite aspect of Pepe’s was the resident kitty, Empanada, who was often lounging around should we care to read or enjoy a drink in the common areas. She was so friendly and cuddly, will come into your room and snuggle if you leave the door open for her - this helped us miss our cats and dog considerably less while we travelled, as we are used to companion animal cuddling. We cannot recommend Pepe’s enough, especially if you value good location, nice atmosphere, and the company of animals. Thank you!!

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Clean, quiet, and peaceful while still in a great central location. Not a party hostel. I checked in after hours and contacted first. They were nice and walked me through the process. You have to contact them first though.
