Cabañas Altos de Quitor - Hostel

First thing to say is this hostel/hotel is a 30 minute walk to town, so I would only recommend this place to those who want to be away from town or have acess to a car for the duration of their trip. The accomodation I stayed in was a very basic hut, with what I can only describe as cold and not cold water (hot water would be pushing it). The cabin was very cold, especially at night. There seemed to be better accomodation on site (in the style of tipi/tents) and I believe this accomdation is reflected in the advertising pictures. The price for the accommodation however is very reasonable and the family who run the hostel/hotel are very accommodating and will bend over backwards to help their guests (their dogs are very friendly and helpful too!). Breakfast was poor.

We had a three bed cabana and it was great. Very spacious and clean. The shower worked well. You could only get wifi in reception but that’s no big deal for me. I booked through Hotels.com and got confirmation that my stay had to be paid locally. This was fine but what wasn’t made clear was that they don’t accept credit card. At check-in I was told it was cash or Paypal only. I don’t have paypal so that was a bit frustrating. The walk into town is about 25 mins but I really enjoyed the stroll. I would definitely stay here again.

Tudo perfeito! Lugar lindo! Amamos nossa estadia. O gerente super atencioso e gentil. Ficamos em uma barraca grande e que apesar do frio lá fora, os cobertores eram ótimos. O lugar tem uma magia incrível, cercado por montanhas e muito tranquilo. A limpeza era boa. Havia uma cozinha comunitária para fazermos nossas refeições, o café da manhã suficiente e os funcionários foram prestativos. Apesar de ficar um pouco distante do centro, não desabonou em nada a nossa grande satisfação por ter ficado nesse local. Destaque para os lindos e doces cachorros, principalmente o Pepe, que amei! Quem tinha que sair de madrugada, o administrador deixava um bom lanche para levarmos. Agradecemos muito pela cordialidade e pela incrível experiência de ter ficado em um local diferente, que nos proporcionou momentos únicos e maravilhosos!

It's too far from downtown. If you're traveling with a car, it's an ok hotel.

Wir haben zu zweit ein Zelt gebucht. Die Zelte sind sehr geräumig und gut ausgestattet (dicke Bettdecke und dicker Schlafsack), sodass die Nacht nicht zu kalt wurde und noch genügend Platz für die Koffer war. Wir hatten ein Vorhängeschloss dabei und konnten es daher abschließen, aber wirklich nötig war dies meiner Meinung nach nicht. Die Unterkunft liegt etwas Außerhalb (ca. 30 Minuten zu Fuß) dafür ist man aber für sich und kann abends die Sterne genießen. Für uns also absolut kein Minuspunkt. Wir hatten keinen Mietwagen, wurden jedoch jedesmal per Anhalter mitgenommen (ob von Einheimischen oder anderen Touris). Der Besitzer und alle Angestellten sind sehr freundlich und beim Frühstück wird man richtig bedient. Wenn man eine Tour gebucht hat und es nicht zum Frühstück schafft wird einem ein Lunch-Paket liebevoll vorbereitet. Außerdem ist die Valle de Muerte direkt um die Ecke zu Fuß erreichbar und auch die Valle de la Luna kann mit dem Fahrrad - welche man vor Ort für einen super Preis ausleihen kann - sehr schnell erreichen. Also alles in allem zu empfehlen!
