Quevedo sits in Ecuador's lowland interior, a working city on the route between the highlands and the coast. It is a place travellers tend to pass through rather than plan around, which shapes what you will find when you look for somewhere to sleep.
Accommodation here is spread between the city centre and the roads leading out of it, with a small number of options at each end of the price range.
1. Quevedo city centre
The centre is the practical default. It puts you within walking distance of the everyday life of the city, and the source notes that even accommodation described as a little ways out of the centre remains within easy walking distance of it.
This suits first-time visitors and anyone without their own transport, since you can reach the centre on foot from several directions. You will find both cheap hostel-style accommodation and more comfortable hotel rooms in and around this area.
2. Calle Camilo Arevalo
This street is named in the source as the location of a clean, cheap hostel environment with apparently good security. It is the clearest pointer in the material for budget travellers.
Rooms here come with two beds or a matrimonio, a single large bed, which suits couples and pairs of travellers. If you are watching your spending, this is the area to look at first.
3. The Valencia road, about a kilometre out
Roughly a kilometre from the city via Valencia you find comfortable, spacious rooms of good quality, along with a bar-restaurant serving homemade food and a boutique selling imported products and clothes.
This suits travellers who prefer quieter surroundings and don't mind being outside the centre, and it works well if you have a vehicle or are happy to take transport in. Expect to pay more here than in the centre.
4. The edge of the city, within walking distance of the centre
One option in the source sits a little outside the city centre while still being an easy walk from it, and is described as likely the finest of the hotels in the area, with a large swimming pool including high dives and water slides.
This suits families and anyone who wants space and facilities rather than a central location. Because it is still walkable to the centre, you are not cut off from the rest of the city.
Where to stay on a budget, mid-range or splurge
- Budget: hostel-style accommodation with clean, cheap rooms, good security, and a choice of two beds or a matrimonio. The source gives an example of prices from around $20 per night, depending on single or double occupancy, with discounts possible for groups.
- Mid-range: comfortable, spacious hotel rooms of good quality, sometimes with a bar-restaurant serving homemade food and a boutique on site. The source gives an example of prices from $20 per night depending on occupancy.
- Splurge: the upper end of what Quevedo offers, described in the source as likely the finest of the hotels in the area, with a large swimming pool, high dives and water slides, and rooms starting at $44 USD per night.
Best area for a first visit
Base yourself in the Quevedo city centre. It is the one area the source treats as the reference point for the rest of the city, with other options described in terms of their distance from it, and it keeps you within easy walking distance of the centre wherever you end up. From there you can reach the budget rooms on Calle Camilo Arevalo or the quieter options on the Valencia road without committing to them for your whole stay.
