Description
For many years we have been one of Ecuador's most fun, friendly backpacker hostels. We have spectacular views from our rooftop terrace/restaurant/bar, making it a great place to volunteer, improve your Spanish, get to know the locals, meet loads of other fun travellers or just chill-out watching the sunset over the historic Old Town.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
General Maintenance
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Hospitality/Tourism
Language practice
Art Projects
Help with Computers/ Internet
Teaching
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Volunteers at our hostel have plenty of opportunity to get to know, and hang out with, our local staff. Our staff also love this interaction, and they are often inviting volunteers to their homes, to visit their families, head off to a football game, or their favourite salsa club, etc, etc... the list goes on. Learning Spanish from the locals, and getting to know local Ecuadorians and their culture are perhaps the most common reasons for volunteering with us.
Help
No cooking, cleaning, changing sheets or washing the pots and pans! We are not looking for volunteers to replace our paid Ecuadorian staff, but rather to complement them. Our volunteers work together with our local staff to help out at reception, greeting guests and welcoming them to Quito, showing guests around the hostel and generally making sure that our guests are having a great time. We also welcome help with our extensive art/painting/murals, our plants/gardens and even helping our builder with maintenance and improvement projects.
Volunteers spend a lot of time working with local staff and therefore have a great opportunity to improve their Spanish.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: Fluent
Accommodation
In a shared room with 4 or 5 fellow volunteers.50% discount in our bar/restaurante and discounted Spanish classes, certain discounted tours with the travel agency plus a free night at our adventure lodge in the mountains overlooking Cotopaxi National Park.
What else ...
Overlooking the historic Old Town, we offer a great base to explore in and around Quito. Our local staff love getting to know volunteers - you can spend time meeting them and their families, maybe head out to a football game together, or even off to the clubs on a friday night.

It was absolutely a great time here. I got to meet other volunteers who were super friendly, energetic and fun. The staff (receptionists, cooks, bosses) were also caring and supportative. I truly enjoyed volunteering with them. The accomamodation can not be better. Good food, good drinks, good view from the terrace. Never got bored. A big part of… read more

I worked at this hostel for a month and had a great time! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great and you will never get sick of the beautiful view. Also, I loved getting to know the staff members a bit. Some of them only speak Spanish, so it's a very nice way to improve your Spanish.

Fantastic time. An incredibly efficiently run establishment, with a very welcoming set of local staff. The work never felt demanding, but was an opportunity to socialise upstairs on the terrace whilst making drinks and serving food. An important part of the role is helping to make sure the guests are just having a good time, so there's always a… read more

Loved my month here! This was my first workaway, and the staff and the more experienced volunteers made me feel at home right away, The workload is very reasonable for the experience you are getting, the food they give you is amazing and the hostel is very well run while managing to remain laid-back. The primary draw of this hostel is the rooftop… read more

I had an amazing time at this wonderful hostel. The staff were great, all the other volunteers were super friendly and the hostel itself with the fantastic terrace never got dull. The work is fun and never too stressful and the benefits are unique. I would have stayed longer but I need to see the rest of Ecuador!

I had a great experience at the Hostel in Quito. I committed to two weeks but ended up staying for about two months. The hostel is in a really cool area and the staff takes care of you. The free breakfast and home-cooked dinners every night were delicious. When it comes to volunteering this was one of the better gigs I've come across with the… read more
