Hostal Oasis — Hotel in Riobamba

Rock walls, stained glass doors, cutesy decor: Hostal Oasis is funky, but pleasant. There are 5 rooms that open onto an outer, open courtyard, plus a few more that open onto a covered patio; the kitchen facilities are split between the two. Rooms are small but pleasant, and outdoor spaces, including a pretty garden, are nice, with a couple of friendly dogs and cats meandering about. The bed was comfortable, the water in the shower was hot. We liked that it is not in the town center, as we enjoy walking. The owners are very nice and helpful, and the place is safe and secure. Off-street parking for bicycles and motorcycles is available. We were there in the off season, and three of the five nights we were the only guests there. Had it had been full, it could have been a bit noisy, as it was, it was peaceful, with one exception: the owners held a loud party on Saturday night that ended about 4AM. The inner, covered patio smelled somewhat of cat urine, and the cats, while sweet, could be aggressive...

English/Deutsch/Castellano||I stayed here for a night whilst visiting Riobamba. It's a cute little, family-run place with a nice yard/garden, lots of dogs and cats and it's just a 10/15mins walk to the cathedral and train station. My single room was absolutely tiny but very bright and colourful with a comfortable bed and the shower had very hot water and shower pressure. Wifi works ok. It wasn't superclean but also ok. |The owner is very friendly and helpful and readily gave my information about buses to the terminal and eating out and so on.|My only real critique is the price - i payed $15 which is quite hefty. On the other hand, there aren't too many other options in Riobamba.|There is an outdoor kitchenette although I am not sure if there is any equipment.|I had no problems with noise.||Ich war eine Nacht hier, ein nettes kleines Hostel mit einem sehr hübschen Innenhof mit vielen Haustieren. Mein Einzelzimmer war winzig aber recht hell und freundlich und ein gutes Bett. Die Dusche hatte heißes Wasser und ordentlich Wasserdruck. Das Zimmer war nicht blitzblank sauber aber in einem akzeptablen Zustand. Wifi ist ok.|Die Besitzerin ist sehr freundlich und hilfreich und hat mir gerne Auskunft über Busverbindungen, Restaurants u.a. gegeben.|Der einzige wirkliche Kritikpunkt sind die Preise - $15 für eine Nacht ist ziemlich heftig, andererseits gibt es in Riobamba aber nicht viele andere Optionen.|Es gibt ein Kücheneck allerdings bin ich mir nicht sicher, wie gut bestückt es ist.|Ich hatte kein Problem mit Lärm.||Es un hostal muy lindo y agradble. Fui una noche aquí en un cuarto pequeñisimo péro comodo, con agua caliente y mas o menos limpio. La dueñe es muy amable y me ayudó con mucho gusto. Hay wifi. |Solo es un poco caro - $15 por una noche no es así economico pero tampoco hay mucho mas...

Tucked away just to the east of Riobamba's downtown ($1.35 taxi from bus terminal or 30 minute walk), Hostal Oasis is an . . . oasis. Past the front door and the friendly dogs is a garden courtyard with stone walls and arched doorways and rooms spread about. Different price ranges. But cooking facilities and group refrigerators for everyone, and lots of places to sit alone or in groups. Hot water - really! The owner, a really nice lady, and her late husband obviously built this place with love...
