Hostal Pakay

One of the best hostels during my stay in Ecuador. Tony and his family welcomed me with open arms, the breakfast was stunning every single day! The dorm was pretty big split in two floors, bed was comfy, bathroom was always clean. I really loved my stay, the location is still close to city but surrounded by nature, you can walk for 15-20 mins or take taxi for $1.50. They also offer many activities and are always ready to help. I highly recommend anyone passing by Tena to stay in this hostel

A tranquil stay with Tony and his family! Exceptionally clean and well maintained rooms, amazing gardens (and views) with native animals visiting. High quality breakfast. Great advice on activities and attractions, as well as great tour options. You can tell this hostel is lead with heart.

Amazing spot up in the hills, surrounded by lush greenery in the vibrant town of Tena – gateway to the Amazon. Toni and his wife welcome you like family from the first minute. Everything’s super easygoing – they help organize pretty much everything, and the breakfast is honestly next level. They really care about the environment, which was one of the main reasons I chose this place. Ask them anything – they know the area inside out and have a ton of ideas for trips and adventures. They're way more than just locals. Just come and see for yourself. Oh, and they somehow speak like ten languages – so no worries about communication

We stayed there for 3 nights and arrived later than planned. After a phone call they said it was no problem we can check in anytime we arrive. Gave us tips for taxis and how much to pay them max to the hotel. The accomodation was great, you can hear nature sounds from outside, but we liked it really and it was relaxing. There is a eco-toilet, which gets changed daily - so no minus-point for that, because you know it when you book it! The next day we did a jungle hiking tour with tony - it was great, he speaks spanish english and german, fluently! He knows everything about nature. The tours are great, can recommend the Napo River tour - something we will never forget! And the prices are fair once you experience what its coming with, dont worry about it - WOW! Breakfast was freshly made and they will make every of your wishes come true. 1000% recommend!!!

The stay at pakay Hostel was one of our absolute Highlights in Ecuador. The Hostel has a beautiful garden, calm and relaxing atmosphere and Tony and his family are the most warm and welcoming hosts you can imagine. The breakfast was fresh, super delicious and more than enough. We did a rafting tour with Tony that we can 100% recommend. The tour was perfectly organised, with very qualified guides and all the equipment needed. We felt safe the whole time and enjoyed the incredible landscape while having a lot of fun with the rafting.

The Pakay Hostel is a nice, mostly wooden house in green suroundings, but still in Tena. Tony and his sister run this place and have been very friendly to me. Tony could arrange two very nice Kayaking day trips for me, which have certainly been a highlight of my trip. Muchas Gracias!

Our stay at hostal Pakay was fantastic! Tony and Erin were so welcoming, friendly and helpful! The rooms were cosy and the main deck area a great place to relax and eat breakfast. We did 2 tours with Tony, both were very fun and we learnt a lot. 10/10 would recommend!

Hostel Pakay is a gorgeous relaxing retreat, we were absolutely spoilt by Erin & Tony with delicious breakfasts, joined the primary forest tour which was spectacular wading through the Amazon swamps & we also did the Napo River Tour which felt very respectful & we loved the bliss of floating down the river on tubes. Erin also helped organise a birthday surprise for my friend which was so appreciated. 10/10 recommend staying here
