Esperanto Bed & Breakfast Surf Hostel

I have been to quite a few hostels now some terrific some terrible but I have never been to a hostel as welcoming and accommodating as esperanto! It is a multi story hostal a stones throw from the beach with the most friendly and enthusiastic staff I have ever met at any hostel. There is a kitchen where you can cook, the owner is not overbearing in any sense but may genuinely ask you how your night has been in passing and he is the coolest dude. This is unequivocally and certainly the place to be if you are a traveler solo or with a group. The beds are luxurious and the rooms are rustic, there are personal lights and outlets at each bed. There are so many friends to be made here and so many backpackers staying here. the rooftop area has an unparalleled view of the beach. Thus is the first hostel that I have stayed at where I have truly felt at home.

Basic hostel with a nice rooftop and decent breakfast. Room was a little stuffy especially for the top bunk as the wind from the fan did not reach the top. The mosquito screen on the balcony door was also broken. People were very friendly and there are fri/sat night joint trips to a nearby bar.

It is located very near to the beach, the balcony has a wonderful view of the sea and most of the the rooms (private rooms/ 4 people dorms) are equipped with a balcony. The staff is very kind & helpful - they were always there for our questions and concerns. Totally recommended!

This was the first time I’ve stayed in a hostel and it was the best experience ever. The hostel was clean and the staff was very friendly. The environment the hostel gives out makes everyone feel like a family. Easy to make new friends in Ecuador.

I dont like the ubication. It seems not safe enough, at least at night was very dark. Apart from that, hostel was quite good... kitchen was very complete, the room has enough space and lookers, bathroom was ok.

I really adored this hostel. Laid back atmosphere and very friendly staff. The beds were comfortable and there was adequate bathroom space to be used. A girl from the front desk always made sure we had fun at night. I hope it stays amazing like this forever. It also had a very good common area and a rooftop if you wanted to be a recluse.
