Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The rooms were stunning, and the breakfast area/courtyard was beautifully decorated in an authentic colonial style. The staff, including Manager Fernando, Veronica, and Jessica, went out of their way to make my stay memorable. However, the noise from street traffic was a bit bothersome at times.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel with spacious and beautiful rooms, even though they didn't have outside windows but faced a charming courtyard. The rooms were new, spotlessly clean, and equipped with modern amenities. The service was top-notch, with incredibly friendly staff who took the time to show me around the entire facility, including the lovely lounges and rooftop viewing area. The location was perfect for exploring all the tourist sights, offering a genuine Ecuadorian hospitality experience and a great view from the roof terrace. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of tasty homemade dishes, though the lack of choices could be a downside. Overall, a great value for money.
The hotel offers a mix of positives like its perfect location and genuine Ecuadorean hospitality but has some drawbacks such as the dark rooms without natural light. The service is top-notch with attentive staff, and the dining experience is delicious but lacks variety.
The hotel's rooms, despite being under reparation, were very beautiful and comfortably furnished, featuring soft beds, modern bathrooms, and colorful original paintings. The lack of an outside window was compensated by a view of the courtyard. The service was exemplary, particularly Angel, who was super friendly and helpful, taking time to show us around the entire facility, including the lounges and roof viewing area. The location was ideal, very central to the old town without the noise of a busy street, providing a genuine Ecuadorean hospitality experience in a unique building. The dining offered a great variety of food and fresh fruits, although some found it too basic and without choices for picky eaters.
My stay at the hotel was truly memorable. The location was perfect, offering easy access to all the tourist sights while still being a peaceful retreat from the city buzz. The rooms were spacious, and the view of the Basilica from my small balcony was simply breathtaking. The service was top-notch, with the staff being so friendly and helpful, especially Angel. The dining experience was delightful, with a great variety of local foods displayed each morning. However, the noise from street traffic was a bit bothersome when the window was open. Overall, a great value for an unforgettable experience in a unique building.
