Tababela Land

I like the menu options, the food was great for the portion and price. Just let them now what would you like to order with time ahead, so you don't have to wait to much.

My friend and I only stayed one night. Something about our room that didn't smell or feel right. It was very damp (maybe mold?) and moments after I entered the room I started getting congested probably it was an allergic reaction to something. Also, in our room there was a small window overlooking a court space and it only had a see through curtain which made us feel super uncomfortable and when our room lights were off, there was a light coming through that window all night long. The staff is super friendly but communicating in English can be challenging so we used a google translate. If you're looking for a place just for few hours or for one night max then might be okay but I don't recommend it for longer.

The hotel is located in a desolate area near airport. There is absolutely no stores, no restaurants, no movement or warm bodies walking around when we arrived around 11:00 pm. The hotel advertised that they offer free shuttle service to airport but that was false. We had to pay our own taxi rides from and back to airport. I booked 1 room with 2 beds. When I arrived they stuck us in one bed. The room was the size of a shoe box. I almost lacerated my head on a glass plate nailed to the wall as the remote control holder. The room was very very cold. No extra blankets.

For those who will stay at Quito airport overnight to get to Galapagos the next day, I highly recommend Talabela Land for your overnight stay. Immediately after we got out of the airport, someone was there waiting for us holding a sign with my name on it. She then arranged a taxi for us, and we quickly reached the hotel. Although people there do not speak English, we were able to communicate with Google Translate. We bought the Claro card there, and the front desk guy, Estevan and Chef Carmen’s son, Antoni, helped me set it up on my phone. Also bought a Galapagos T-shirt there. The price is half as much as at the Quito airport, and it’s made in Ecuardo. The bed was big and comfy. We had a good night of sleep after a satisfying dinner cooked by Carmen. We walked to a beautiful park nearby the next morning, then had breakfast Carmen and Estevan cooked for us. Everything is delicious, especially the coffee. 😀 They arranged a taxi for us, $8 only, according to what we requested, although we came too early. The lines were not long at all, so we reached the boarding gate in less than 40 minutes after we got off the taxi. I also thank Patricia, who has been very quick responding to my questions when I booked the place last minute on Expedia. Below is a photo of the park. Many species of flowering tropical trees and a pretty Ecuadorian church there.

Nice little hotel, nice friendly stuff, close to the airport

Friendly and accommodating staff.

Price per night is affordable. Not convenient location to go places or dinning location accessible.

The services was great. I liked the family atmosphere of the hotel. The continental breakfast was good with fresh bread. The price was good for economy saving. Location closed to the airport. Only airport shuttle was not picked up as promised. I had to take taxi to the hotel. It cost $10, but it is ok to me, only $10.

Very friendly and took care of your my needs. Overall pleasurable stay.

Just stayed for a night waiting for my next flight. Very clean room. Good price. Free airport shuttle to hotel but from hotel to Airport will be $10, something I was not expecting.
