A mal gusto, las perdonas atendía como de mala gana

Las instalaciones limpias

Le falta más nivel a comparación de los otros selinas, lo visita mucha familia con niños y no es viable

Fine. But I would book elsewhere in the future.

The location is good.

In every aspect besides location I am sure there are better places. It was overpriced for a dorm room, not particularly clean, rooms were small, the amenities and cleanliness showed some general disregard from staff. It was too corporate and not friendly enough for a party hostel, too dirty and unkempt for a boutique hostel, too loud for a chill hostel, too expensive for a budget hostel. I think in trying to be everything this location truly succeeds at nothing, besides being right on the beach.

Very poor

the service was 0/10. no one was polite, especially the guy who was at the reception didn’t even try to welcome me… I would NOT recommend selina Montanita because for me the most important thing is a polite service.

The pool and ocean view are amazing. Good location.

No hot water in the shower and no atmosphere in the hostel.

Aren’t “Selina’s” meant to be quality?

Location was great (on the beach and right in town). Quality swimming pool. Comfy bed and pillows. WhatsApp group to meet people/keep you updated with activities. Co-working space with free water re-fills.

Wifi in room (Room 1213) was HORRIBLE…worst I’ve had on my 3 month trip thus far. Music blaring (even midweek), making it impossible to sleep. Ear plugs a must. One side of the bed had no power outlet. Check-in staff tried to charge us the 12% VAT tax (which is only paid if you’re Ecuadorian). Cold showers. No doona cover. Bathroom was dirty/smelt mouldy. No TV or fridge in our private room.

Selina exceeded our expectations very close to the beach, good music and food and yoga!

Breakfast was good, juice was delicious and fresh and the coffee was great!

It can be a bit noisy as it very close to the main strap of clubs and bars. Montañita never sleeps

The bar at the beach, opportunity to do yoga in the morning and the beds were comfortable.

One worker at the bar was a bit moody, music at night and the cleanliness of the pool

Would not recommend.

The hostel has nice offers to get in touch with people and is right at the beach. Breakfast is very good! The personel was very friendly.

We could barely sleep at night because of the loud music of the club next door. Also the room we stayed in hadn‘t been cleaned in days while occupied by other people and wasn‘t cleaned once during our stay. Not even the trashcan next to the toilet. The room felt really gross and you could only walk around in shoes cause the floor was that dirty.

to be honest, Selina is one of the best options there in montañita.

the coworking, and also the main building is good in general.

room had a bit of humidity, but in general montañita is like that, a couple of dogs just started a battle in the middle of the lobby, service too slower, on the weekend they are not be able to supply all of the customers, oil in the kitchen burned, all of the products that I ordered tasted like burned, all of the fried products taste horrible, búfalo wings, and mix of Frye sea food, Saturday 2 of July 2022 in the night I ordered two cocktails and the bartender forgot two times my order in the end I got my order 1 hour late.

Great Stay, Great Location, Great Staff

Selina Montanita had a great location and staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The girl at check in was great. Food was great. I stayed in a suite and the room was quite large and the AC worked well. I would definitely come back again.

As stated in other reviews it can be a bit noisy at night, but I had expected this, so it was not that big of a negative.
