Dec 31, 2010 - We had also stayed at revolution during our time in Quito and really LOVED this hostel. Very cute, clean, and the staff are EXCELLENT. The best on my trip so far. So friendly and helpful, just what you need when you show up with an altitude headache. I can't comment on hot water, didn't shower, but generally cold as it is everywhere in Quito and not many places have heat. Excellent value too.
