The Secret Garden is a friendly Australian/Ecuadorian run hostel conveniently located in a quiet, friendly cobble-stone street in central Quito. Our 'barrio', or neighbourhood, is one of the few remaining Colonial districts and even our building is protected by a United Nations World Heritage listing. With a big improvement in security in the Old Town in recent years, plus 24 hour police patrols, our neighbourhood now enjoys a level of safety and security equal to (or often better than!!) most international capital cities.
BUT THERE'S MORE!!!
Our beautifully restored colonial building features a rooftop terrace/restaurant/bar with breathtaking views of the historical ‘Old Town'. Feel free to browse our book exchange, chat with our friendly Ecuadorian and foreign staff, or just fall asleep in a hammock listening to any of our wide selection of music.
NEW - SPANISH CLASSES AT THE SECRET GARDEN!!!
Learn faster with Narda Vacas and Monica Machuga, two of the best Spanish teachers in Quito - only $4.50/hour for one-to-one classes, less than $3/hour in mini-groups (subject to availability). Email ahead for more information.
STILL NOT CONVINCED??!!
We are one of the most highly recommended hostals in Quito (check out 'Thorn Tree' on Lonely Planet's website to see some of the latest comments).

Location
• From the bus terminal, expect to pay around $3 for a taxi.
• From the airport: we offer an airport pickup service – the cost is $10 (total, not per person), however we recommend catching a taxi. The taxi service is safe, cheap and easy to use and there is always a taxi rank assistant who speaks English.
• 1. To catch a taxi : when you are in the baggage collection hall, go to the tourist information desk on the left hand side – tell them you have a reservation at The Secret Garden and ask them for one of our business cards (it has a map on the back). The tourist information people can then show you where to buy a taxi voucher ($5 per taxi). The taxis are right in front of the arrivals terminal – you give the voucher to the driver when you arrive at The Secret Garden.
• 2. Airport Pickup: If you wish us to pick you up from the airport, then please email us your flight details (incl, date, time, flight number and where you are coming from). When you walk out of the terminal, just look for a person holding a nice, bright "Secret Garden" sign. You pay the $10 direct to the driver.
