The location was very difficult to find, we were travelling from Cuenca and the roads were completely blocked with landslides. We thought we were booking a place in Alausi, but it is located in Huigra.
Cabañas Samay Mágico Ecolodge features city views, free WiFi and free private parking, set in Huigra. There is a fully equipped private bathroom with shower and free toiletries.

Perfect stay on the way to Alausi. Very friendly owners. Both dinner and breakfast freshly prepared - it was just delicious.
Whole hotel area is wonderful, just some bungalows in beautiful garden, perfect place for evening relax.
They've got small shop - beer and some basic products are available.
I loved the restaurante in town. EL Mesón del Tren!
I loved the restaurante in town. EL Mesón del Tren! The owners Lorena & Diego were attentive, friendly, and spent time with us during dinner. Lorena cooked for us a great meal as we requested!
It's an old Spanish style restaurante that takes your breath away and the Food is incredible!
Alausi can be a bit of a maze to drive around. But the second day, we were pro's!!!

It's a nice little town with a nice spirit . Hiking is great along the nariz del diablo train route - great views. Here you can also see a lot of indigenous ecuatorian people, especially on sundays at the indigenous market. If you want to sleep make sure you pick the right hotel because dogs and roosters are really loud here late at the night and early in the morning and many hotels have no soundproofing at all.

Alausi is a very safe and small town. You can easily walk everywhere in the main town. There are ATMs and lots of restaurants. Two to three days is a good time to explore the town and take the train ride.

Authentic town with cobblestone streets, lots of small restaurants nestled in the mountains. Large indigenous population with artisans and local fare. We were there for the Devils Nose Train ride which did not disappoint. Lots of hiking options for mountain views. Breathtaking scenery.

Alausi is a very peaceful, friendly little town.
Alausi is a very peaceful, friendly little town. The focus is the old train parked in town, ready for its regular trips up to El Nariz del Diablo. The streets are all up and down, except for the main treelined boulevard. There are a number of beautifully painted murals around town. We enjoyed grilled meat from the street vendors, as well as a delicious meal in restaurant Tikal. Alausi is a worthwhile destination, even without going on the train.

I spent two nights in Aluasi-- including Sunday, which was "Market Day". It was very un-touristy! Most tourists come just for a day to take the train and leave! The atmosphere in the city is very authentic and exciting! Lots of cheap vegetable, fruit and bread (and other consumer goods) all around the city. The old market and new market are both interesting, and you get a real look at life in the city! The city is very walkable!
Great new hotel close to the train-station and the main street - although very quiet. Marathon-Marco is an attentive, welcoming and really nice host who knows a lot about the surrounding. He drove us to the beginning of the really impressive hiking route to „devil‘s nose“ and explained us a lot. The high-quality rooms are new and superclean. There‘s is a big kitchen where guests can prepare their own food or have free tea and coffee.
I was better then expected. Simple rooms but spacious. Breakfast was ok. Parking our car was super....inside the premises. The hotel was top central located. Just in the middle of the main street. The famous Nariz del Diablo train wasn't running but stille we had a good day in Alausi walking the streets and a part of the railroad. It was just a stop on our way south but liked it. No tourists and only local indigenas !
I loved everything about the property. Marco and his staff were friendly and kind. They gave us restaurant recommendations and things to see and do. The room was very clean. Breakfast was delicious. We felt very safe, even at night walking around the town. Alausí is a charming place. Thank you for your hospitality!
We loved Alausi! It’s a beautiful town and well worth a visit even without the train operating. The hotel staff are incredibly helpful and professional and served the best breakfast we’ve had yet at a hotel in Ecuador. We like places with character and this hotel has it. Highly recommended.
Directly across from the bus station in the lively town center near the train station and Sunday Market. Staff was exceptionally accommodating. Breakfast was fresh and nutritious...fruit eggs and bread. We were the only gringos in the valley. Enjoy alausi!!! Thank you, hotel europa!!!
This is THE place to stay in Alausi! A hidden gem. 3 blocks up hill from the hubbub of the town’s main drag. Immaculately clean, tastefully designed euro modern, great views, wonderful staff….and their cafe across the quiet street is the nicest place to eat in town!
Charming, modern, tastefully designed rooms with nice wood and tile finishes. Very helpful staff. Quiet and comfortable. Hotel's cafe across the quiet street is the nicest, cleanest place to eat in Alausi. I will definitely stay here again upon visiting Alausi!
Very new, clean hostel in the beautiful town of Alausi. They had lots of information on their website about walking along the Nariz del Diablo trail which was absolutely gorgeous. Free tea and coffee and the price of the room was a great value.
Hostel and rooms has been clean and well maintained; modern bathrooms; comfortable mattresses;
the City Alausi itself. It's really a nice and quiet place and definitly worth it to spend a few days.
10 minutes walk to the center of Alausi!
Awesome spot and unique views of the surrounding Andeans mountains!
Staff was super helpful!
Beautiful short hike around the farm!
Great place!
Super clean, super friendly and helpful staff, large room, fresh towels daily, and the best breakfast I've had in Ecuador. Thank you Marco for making our time in Alausí so great!!
