Hostal La Molienda — Hotel in Puyo

A quaint, family friendly bed and breakfast that will immerse you into the culture of Ecuador. I remember being here when I was ten years old and the owner, Carmita Freire was just starting construction, having the best time of my life exploring the city. Fifteen years later, it is my second time here and I am still enchanted by the wonders of the city and its attractions. For someone who is born in New York, I have fully submerged myself into the roots of my country by visiting the Comunidad Indichuris, which Carmita Freire recommended.

The mom and her son seems to do most of the work and it was ran well. Although the place was not busy...we got the best service I could ever ask for and a chance to mingle with really nice solid locals!!! . We had an awesome breakfast every morning. It was not far from the centro and the bus station. We thank you for your hospitality and we hope to...

It is a great location for our purposes and a good value. The beds and pillows have been comfortable. In addition, service is fast and friendly. In fact, I left a dress here three years ago and when we arrived this time, they had it set back for...
