El Tio Hostal

"Such a magical place! Peaceful farm setting, beautiful nature, and waking up to birds singing every morning. There are chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, and sweet dogs — perfect for animal and nature lovers. The host is incredibly kind and welcoming. One of the most relaxing and special hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!"

"I have stayed 2 nights in El Tio and i loved it! The place where the hostal is located and the territory of it is so beautiful, it’s reminded me a lot about the village of my childhood with chickens, garden, wooden walls. Just behind the hostal begins the trails to walk and hike in the Imbabura volcano and the view from there is precious. The owner, Tio, such a nice person. Recommend you a lot to stay there! Gracias el Tio!"

"El Tio is a wonderful place to stay to enjoy rural Ecuador, easy bus into Otavalo and simple but very comfortable stay"

"Booking says hot showers but there aren’t - would still recommend regardless because after hiking in the sun - cold shower was bliss :)"

"Great area around the house, a lot of animals like ducks, chicken, dogs… was realy nice, we absolut recomend this place for a great experience. Tio is the owner and a very nice guy he helps with every question. we also baked cornbread with Tio and his family and share a good time. Thanks Tio"

"sometimes the dogs are a bit loud at night ;)"

"A very nice hostel where you immediately feel like you are in good hands. The family is very nice and accommodating and there are many hiking opportunities in the area besides Otavalo. You also get an impression of rural life in Ecuador, which I really liked."

"Josè has worked hard to create a beautiful and wonderful accomodation at the back of an indigenous village. The rooms (we stayed in two different ones) are very aesthetic and the beds are comfortable with lots of blankets. It is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy a coffee or read in one of the hammocks and take in the mountains around, and the garden. There is a kitchen with everything you need and a shower with lukewarm water. It is a very back to nature kind of place. Josè and his family are so warm and friendly and it was a beautiful experience to be able to stay here."

"Esta ubicado en Iluman, a pocos minutos del centro de Otavalo. Es bonito, rodeado de naturaleza. El dueño, José, muy amable, tuvimos una larga conversación sobre las costumbres de la comunidad, aficiones, vida. Fuimos con mi madre, y enseguida se fijo que al ser adulta mayor, le convenia otro tipo de cabaña y nos sugirió una mas cómoda, por casi el mismo precio, eso fue muy amable por que se preocupó por la comodidad de mi madre y de mi hijo. Comida rica, fresquita."

"Al principio nos desorientamos, podría mejorar la experiencia con señalética, desde el camino, ya saben con flechitas y esos detalles que tanto ayudan."

"El alojamiento fue una experiencia muy bonita en gral; su anfitrión es una persona amable que brinda calidez y respeto."
