Ecuador Budget Accommodation and Backpackers Hotels

Budget and backpacker hotels in Ecuador are somehow easy to find but in the end, you don’t know which ones to choose.

On this page, I write step-by-step practical information, photos, and respective prices. Cheap hostels and hotels I stayed in Ecuador and Galapagos.

This is the list of places I stayed during my 40-day trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. I always got budget accommodation choices.

My favorites

On that previous trip, my TOP 3 accommodation in Ecuador were:

1. Posada del Caminante in Puerto Villamil, Ecuador
2. Hotel Central in Quito, Ecuador
3. Posada del Rio in Cuenca, Ecuador

Geographic order of these hotels:

Nueva Rocafuerte – El Coca – Quito – Quilotoa – Puertoviejo – Guayaquil – Puerto Ayora – Puerto Villamil – Puerto Baquerizo Moreno – Cuenca – Zumba
