Hostal Tayupanda

Inside a residential block on Portoviejo Oe1-44 where it meets Avenida 10 de Agosto, Hostal Tayupanda occupies a quiet street-level position in north-central Quito — roughly ten minutes by bus from the colonial Old Town and a practical base for travellers using the city's main arterial road toward the airport.

The hostal centres on an inner courtyard that shapes the social rhythm of the place: a bar, coffee house, snack bar, and patio dining area all face inward rather than toward the street, keeping noise low. A hot tub adds an unexpected amenity at this category. Private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and on-site parking round out a workmanlike set of comforts.

Family rooms are available, and cashless payment is accepted — practical for guests arriving without local currency.
