Offering a restaurant, Hostal Curiñan is located in Otavalo. The property features volleyball courts and free WiFi access.

Each room here will provide you with a balcony, a patio and a terrace. Featuring a bath or shower, private bathroom also comes with free toiletries. You can enjoy the mountain and city views from the rooms. Extras include a desk, an outdoor seating area and cleaning products.

I do not have the words to express how good my time here was. Not only is the hostel in a beautiful location with many amenities for an affordable price but the family that runs the hostel quickly became a family I could call my own. José, Matilde, Inti, and Joselito are all such kind and personable people - I was here during Inti Raymi and José invited me to join for a ritual bathing ceremony practiced by many of the indigenous people, and explained the significance of it all. Beyond the hospitality, the rooms are incredibly spacious and comfortable and if you want it, single rooms are very affordable. On top of this, Inti offers a taxi service (well known as the ‘Inti Taxi’ haha) and can bring you wherever you need! During one of my days here I took the ‘Inti Taxi’ to El Lechero and the Condor Park and Inti was able to share tons of information about these places. This is the perfect place to stay if you are looking to visit and immerse yourself in the Otavaleño culture. I also learned some Kichwa from the family as well.

Loved our host, very sweet people and didn't mind me using Google translate to communicate better. He even took us to a few places most visitors probably don't think about. They prepared us dinner one night which was great! The house is super cute and clean, love the view to the lake. The town is safe to walk I'm at night. Make sure to go to Bambu Grill. Great place to eat.

    Lovely place, lovely hosts. Eduardo and Nathalie are really friendly and helpful. The cabaña was very nice, clean. The whole place is beautiful, in a quiet environment a little bit outside of Otavalo but not too far. The kids loved the homemade Zipline! And we even got to hear our hosts sing beautiful songs from different countries of Latin America on Saturday night. Breakfast with fresh fruit juice and delicious hot cocoa.
