Located within the northern boundary of the beautiful Historical Centre of Quito, a growth area that has been under constant restoration and improvement over the last several years. The Historical Centre is now the preferred location for travellers instead of the traditional "gringoland" or Mariscal area. It is a UNESCO historical site, being the best preserved colonial city in South America. A truly unique and beautiful city. All the main tourist attractions within 25 minutes walk.

Hostel Revolution is one block from the totally restored and renovated Alameda Park, the oldest in Quito. In addition a 5 star boutique hotel has recently opened just down the road. Fantastic Itchimba Park is 10 minutes walk uphill with the best views in Quito.

Three main buslines - Trolley, Ecovia and Metro buses with their own lanes making travel fast and cheap - are close by. La Mariscal or 'Gringoland' (new town) area where the bars, international restaurants, agencies and discos are minutes by bus/taxi (20 minutes walk).

An opportunity exists for new owners to inject new enthusiasm and ideas. It is a fun, relaxed lifestyle with all the hard work already done. Hostel Revolution is not a rowdy party hostel, but a relaxed chilled hostel and advertised and operated that way.

An absolute bargain. All reasonable offers considered - we have to return to Australia. Verifiable records of income including history of reservations through booking engines such as Hostelworld/Hostelbookers.

Quito was recently recognised as top travel destination of 2013 by National Geographic Travel Magazine and Ecuador rcognised by Lonely Planet as a top destination for 2013.

There is opportunity to increase income through commissions from tours, by providing own tours and day trips, Spanish classes and breakfast/meals (currently not supplied). Currently owner operated with 1 ot 2 part time volunteer workers and a full time cleaner
