Many tourists would like to know how to get to the Old Town in Quito from the airport. Our hostel is in the Center of the Old Town, so getting to the historic Center of Quito and getting to our hostel is nearly the same.
Community Hostel offers a range of activities for everyone! We always aim to create an atmosphere that is welcoming and social, not only for our guests but for everyone to come and join us.
From delicious dinners every night to quiz and karaoke, we at Community have something for everyone.
Hello readers! The time is finally upon us! The team members of Community Hostel have all arrived in Quito to start working on the hostel. After so many months of planning and preparing it’s hard to believe that we’re finally here and ready to get to work. And there’s a lot of work to be done! While the building is beautiful from the get-go, it’s full of merchandise for the store located below the hostel. The first thing that needed to be done was to empty out the place so that we could start cleaning, sanding, painting, and decorating!
After clearing out the rooms, the next step was to start working on redoing the floors. To do this, the floors first had to all be sanded down. Afterwards, the floors went through several coats of finishing, meaning we had to stay out of the hostel for about a week.

Building the scaffolding. Definitely the most dangerous thing we’ve done here at Community Hostel.
