Stayed here 5 nights, had I not paid upfront I probably would have moved, that said, it wasn't expensive and the staff were very helpful & friendly. 
It's located close to Park Ejido and handy for public transport, within walking distance of both Old and New Quito. 
Decor is as per photos, bathroom is small and overall the place could do with some freshening, there was an odd smell all the time and it seems all the windows on the ground floor open onto the corridors which means no natural light and noise when people decide to have loud conversations in the hall.
There is a snack bar but that seemed to consist solely of bottled drinks and a few bars, I didn't use it. I didn't find many restaurant options nearby but that may be due to looking on the wrong streets. 
The second wifi didn't work initially (two days) but it was fixed and worked fairly well afterwards. The wifi in the common area worked well throughout. 
At $17 for a double room it wasn't bad but I am unlikely to return.
