Quick walk to the beach and downtown area. Quiet at night unlike other hostels downtown. Staff is great and helpful. Rooftop terrasse is definitely a plus. WiFi works very well across all floors. Lockers in every room

My second "home" in Ecuador

Reviewed By till_grame

After staying at the Montañita Cabañas for almost 2 months for learning Spanish in the nearby school, this lovely place feels really like home to me. My room which I shared with 2 other friends was very clean for Ecuadorian standards, the bed comfortable and the shower has warm water. The staff overall was really helpful, but we could find the cleaning staff very often though, it would have been nicer to have them around more available. Also on the weekends the Wifi gets slow sometimes.

You don’t get what you pay for

Reviewed By franciscobY4797WE

You don’t get what you pay. When we first came even the receptionists don’t wear masks, they don’t clean anything they don’t even fill the alcohol dispenser. It’s like they are stoned all day and don’t give a f***k about anything at all. Shared bathrooms are dirty, blankets and sheets are stained. Everything by the pool is old and doesn’t look anything like the pictures. Seriously you can get a better place or even similar in town for less than half that price!

Nice location

Reviewed By Travelingourworldwck

This hostal is pretty. Great location and friendly staff. We paid $30 per night including breakfast. Easy access to the beach and plenty of restaurants around the hostal. 5 minutes in car to get to downtown. Wi Fi was good too. They offer yoga classes too!

La Mariposa Hostal

"Exceptional experience and stay at Hostal La Mariposa"

Reviewed By sarabelazregue

Travelled to Olon to experience the beautiful coast, and I found this beautiful little paradise of a hostal online. I stayed for a month and couldn't have chosen a more lovely, peaceful and safe place to stay. The Hostal is run by a lovely Italian couple, Patrizia and Nicola, that dedicate themselves to making sure everything is running smoothly and ensuring the customer has a comfortable and peaceful stay at their hostel. Both went out of their way daily to make my stay more special and were always smiling, open to having a chat, recommending trips and places to visit, and welcoming me every time I returned to the hostel from the beach. Both honestly radiate a lot of warmth, I would definitely return in the coming years to visit the two of them (and their adorable pets). All the personnel definitely added a lot to the overall experience and made me feel at home - they were always smiling and very caring. Everyone at the hostal went out of their way to help and make my stay perfect. I had to unfortunately change the duration of my stay due to COVID-19 (one month instead of three) and the personnel there went out of their way to help me organise my trip back home (something I did not expect them to help me with) - very thankful to Patrizia, Nicole and Jorge (the hostal's admin). The hostal's rooms surround a beautiful garden filled with palm trees, flowers, and plants, with comfortable hammocks and hand-crafted wooden table and chairs - the perfect place to sit down and relax in the early hours of the hot afternoon or after dinner. My room was on the 3rd floor and had 2 double beds, it was spotless and spacious with a big tiled bathroom, comfortable double bed, and a balcony with stunning views of the sunset on the sea. Breakfast is not included in the price however is definitely worth having at the hostel - with fresh tropical fruit salads and smoothies available every day. Overall, the hostal is gorgeous and beautifully crafted, it genuinely exudes this tranquillity (something I find key when travelling abroad for such a long period) and peacefulness. Patrizia and Nicola made my stay very memorable and joyful, I would go again for the hostel itself but more so for the people there.

Sapa Inka Hostel

Sapa Inka is a beautiful hostel located just 20 meter from the beach and 5 minutes walking to the center of montañita town. Enjoy the view of the tropical and colourful surroundings from our spacious balcony or jump straight in the sea just in seconds with our perfect location almost right on the beach, you will be close to everything.

Best Hostal In Montanita

Our stay here was everything we could possibly ask for. Clean, cool rooms. The perfect location to walk into town or walk to the point to surf. The best owners on earth. Danny (the hostel owner) is one of the coolest guys we have met on our trip and we cannot recommend his hostel enough!!!

Hostal Oloncito

The whole property is sorounded by a beautiful tropical garden and lots of decor like masks, sculptures and many ligths. There is a place with 4 hammocks to hang around under a lovely bamboo construction. The house was built by the owner Uwe and some locals. They created a nice looking hostel consisting bamboo, wood and stones. They also made a lounge to hang around or even to work with your Laptop. We have a common kitchen and enough space to eat with 20 people on a big table. We offer free coffee and cool water. In the morning you can enjoy fresh bread for free.

Great place!

Reviewed By 253debv

We really enjoyed our stay, relaxing outside surrounded by large plants and using the shaded hammock area. The shared kitchen was well stocked and kept clean. We appreciated the housekeeping and getting clean sheets. Short walk to the beach and downtown. Nice to be a bit out of town for the quietness. We would come back!

Hostel El Gran Azul - Olon

Best place if you want to avoid hippy scene and partying noise in Montanita. Olon is just 5 minutes drive north. Olon has a very broad and long sandy beach with very good surf conditions that has both left and right beach breaks. You can enjoy the beach all day long. The central part of the beach has restaurants and small kiosks with excellent shade. The beach is well organised and very clean. There are life guards during high season and some weekends. Your peace and tranquility can be broken only by crashing waves and the bird song from a wide variety of bird species including humming birds which are abundant in the area. Very often on the beach you can find iguanas and may occasionally spot wild horses. Tropical jungle extends down to the beach, and offers several hiking trails leading to two pretty waterfalls.

Great staff and location, not so great room, not allowed to use kitchen although advertised.

Reviewed By Marta K

The staff was very accommodating and provided many local tips. The location was 2 blocks away from the beach with many great restaurants just outside the hostel. The internet was probably the best we had in Ecuador. The room also had air conditioning - a first in all of South America. However, that being said, the room was not so great. The bed cover that was given to us had a horrible smell and forced us to use our sleeping bag as a blanket. There are spider webs all over the walls. We had bugs crawling on the bed and come out of our bags. The room smelt of mold. Also, we booked this room through airbnb, where it was said that the kitchen could be used. Upon arrival, the owner told us we could use the kitchen but not the fridge (which was empty, we checked). When we did try to use the kitchen, the staff told us we could not. Also, not a real kitchen, just a gas stove on the balcony.
