    Flavors of Ecuador with great service

    The delightful breakfast was a highlight, with made-to-order dishes like omelets and local specialties. The staff was exceptionally welcoming, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable.

    The bathroom was quite small, making it a bit cramped for two people, which might not be ideal for everyone. However, the location and service more than made up for it.

    Couples looking for comfort

    The lobby was very comfortable with an enormous couch to chill on after a long day! Plus the staff was helpful, always there when needed.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but decent enough for what you get.

    delicious breakfast
    small bathroom

    Excellent location in the historic district made exploring the town easy. The room felt spacious and clean with modern furnishings. I appreciated the helpful English-speaking staff throughout my stay. Breakfast offered a delicious array of local specialties, including made-to-order omelets, which I really enjoyed. However, the bathroom was quite small, and I wished for a bit more variety in protein options for breakfast. Overall, it had a cozy ambiance, but the tight bathroom setup was a bit inconvenient. Still, the value for the price was notable and I'd consider returning.

    spacious rooms
    unexpected charges
    limited view

    The rooms are quite spacious and comfortable for a stay.

    Unfortunately, my experience was marred by a few issues. I had initially booked a city view room, but was placed in a much smaller room that didn't match my expectations. After some discussion, I was moved to a better room, but it still only had a limited view. Additionally, I encountered unexpected charges upon checkout for items I never consumed, which left me feeling quite frustrated.

    small bathroom

    Had an awesome time with friends! The cooked-to-order breakfast was a highlight, especially the local dishes like ceviches. The location was perfect for walking to nearby attractions. Shoutout to Martin, who provided fantastic service during our stay.

    The bathroom was quite small, making it a bit cramped for sharing, so keep that in mind if you're staying with friends.

    What a fantastic spot! I loved the awesome breakfast with made-to-order eggs and local specialties, and the cozy vibe made my stay truly enjoyable. However, the bathroom was a bit cramped for my taste. I'd definitely choose this place again!

    cozy lounge
    delicious breakfast
    occasional street noise

    I really enjoyed chilling in the cozy lounge and having delicious breakfasts with local specialties like plantains. The hotel offers a relaxing sauna and massage services that were a nice bonus after a day out. The only small issue was some occasional street noise, but it didn't ruin my stay at all, so definitely give this place a shot! 😊
