Was really looking forward to staying at a Selina property given the positive feedback I had heard from friends. Immediately upon arriving (after a long journey) I found there to be no hot water in the shower. This was not fixed for 24hrs. I also expected the staff to be more friendly/community focused however this was not the case. I was never invited to the whatsapp group even though I requested to be added and ultimately, will never stay at a selina again. Hostels provide a much better hostel experience and hotels provide a much better hotel experience. While Selina strives to be the best of both, it falls completely short of achieving that goal. Note, my friend checked-into this same Selina location yesterday and (a) they gave him the wrong room upon check-in even though his reservation had been made, and paid for, weeks in advance and (b) he also did not have hot water for a day.

Cool, hip hotel in a cool part of town.
This is a cool, beautifully designed hotel in a hip part of Quito. They have a lot of tours and activities and really helpful people working there. Breakfast was simple but good. The room was clean, the shared bathroom was clean, and the shower was nice. The coworking space is also great. The only negative thing is that I didn't get really good wifi in my room. It was enough to send some messages and browse but I had to either go to the coworking space or to the lobby to get faster internet for video calls. I think it may depend on what floor they put you on.

Bad plumbing and noisy
The staff was very friendly and helpful, that was the best part. The room was nice enough but the water didnt work most of the time (no shower, no flushing toilet, not able to wash hands). There is significant plumbing issues in that building and I was only able to take one "hot" shower in 2 days. The bath towels smelled moldy and it did not appear that the room was super clean upon entering (I did my own sanitizing of the room). Also, you can hear a pin drop from outside the room. Very noisy which is typical for Quito streetside rooms but the hallways were very noise and it was hard to relax being able to hear every thing happening in the hallways and even rooms adjacent to mine.

6/10 Good

I like the yoga room on the ninth floor with the big windows and panoramic view of Quito. The workspace on the eighth floor is great. I didn’t like that Kelly the concierge once called me a “ho” in the elevator or that I fell into a three hour sleep multiple times after each breakfast. I stopped eating their breakfast and that stopped. Even if the CIA does have a hit on me, that’s not appropriate to cooperate with them. I am actually not a prostitute. I’m a law- abiding visitor in a foreign country. There should be a no smoking policy. My apartment rental was delayed for repairs, otherwise I would Have left sooner. In Quito there are Lavenderias, where someone will do your regular laundry FOR YOU. There were people staying for months in Selina and there wasn’t a washer dryer so they could have the privacy of washing their own clothes. This is weird to me. It’s common here.

I liked the yoga room on the 9th floor had a panoramic view of Quito. I liked the 8th floor workspace. There isn’t a nonsmoking policy. I stopped eating breakfast because I felt drugged and passed out for 3 hours after after a series of breakfasts. A staff member called me an expletive once in the elevator.

The value. The rooms clean and I switched my room to that with a balcony and great view, and then got a free breakfast upgrade. There’s an awesome exercise room with a panoramic view and ample workspace.

There was a gas leak at the property and everyone had to be evacuated for many hours. The smell of gas was everywhere and the hostel was not fit habitation, even after they said it was safe to return. I have attempted to contact the manager regarding a refund as we had to change hotels, I still have not received a response and reception is not able to assist me.

Run down, chaotic, good location, nice staff
The place is very un down. It has the Selina design at reception and food corner but the rest is nowhere near the Selina standards. The only Selina (out of 10ish) that is really disappointing and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The staff was very nice but during our first breakfast the guys had no idea what is included in the prepaid breakfast and were were told we can only have the Selina breakfast (which is very poor) and American coffee. We asked to pay the difference between this coffee and a cappuccino but my request was firstly denied and was told they cannot make changes. After I insisted, the girl at reception gave permission for me to pay the difference. This day we were given nice fresh juice with the breakfast. Next day the were are told we have a choice of 7-8 different breakfast and any kind of hot drink or juice for breakfast. Definitely the girl knew things better. My room had absolutely no charm. The bedsheets were with stains, the floor didn’t look clean either. The room had a nice view, next to the bed there were USBs. The showerhead in the bathroom was very unpractical as you need to get wet in order to turn on the water. The toilet was not working properly as well. The walls were very thin and you can hear people chatting in the middle of the night on the corridor. The burgers in the restaurant were amazing!!
Selina breakfast. The butter and the jam on the picture are for two people to share.

Wont stay here again
The lobby looks good as it has a rustic feels but the hotel is old as in like really old. The rooms are NO WAY the ones in the pictures. This is an old hotel that was rebranded. I was really disappointed but good that I only had to stay there for one night and leave early the next day. But the staff were really nice, that somehow makes up for the crappy hotel.

Having stayed at a Selina in Bogotá I was expecting a similar experience. Booked a twin room and it was not much better than a dorm - dirty stained carpet, leaking sink no simple things like bath mat for open shower soap dispenser fillled. Overpriced for what we got which was a dorm room with bath. Aside from one awesome guy working desk in afternoon the staff were inot interested. We didn’t eat at the restaurant because I saw 3 people eating there and all 3 complained about the food It seems the Selina brand is about funky walk murals and music - That’s the only similarity between Bogotá and Quito
