Golden Rest Ecuador

Good caring staff. Room was clean and shower pressure and temperature was great.

Initially they gave us a room without a window but they moved us after we asked and gave Us a fantastic room with windows all across and a view of the lit church tower. The staff at the hotel are very kind and helpful. They arranged a tour to Cotopaxi volcano That was great.

Rolled into Latacunga around 4pm on a rainy Sunday after a day at Cotopaxi. The town was essentially deserted, which was fine, but so was the hotel. The person on duty seemed surprised that we had arrived, despite our reservation. The room we were shown was quite small and the decor very dated. The courtyard outside the room seemed nice and newly renovated. No one seemed too interested in helping us find a place to eat and it was made clear that the hotel's restaurant would not be available. One night was enough.

Our stay here was just one night, but it's a pretty cozy place at a descent price. The gentleman at the front desk spoke English pretty well and helped us plan our next hotel stay by making a reservation for us in the next town we were headed to. The breakfast isn't included here, but a nice breakfast is offered. Overall the place is clean, fairly secure, and reasonably quiet.

Great hotel, great roof view. Loved the experience of it all.

The hotel was a converted mansion located in the old part of the city. Each room was appointed different and were attractive. The breakfast/dining area was the covered courtyard that is common in the old haciendas. Beds were the typical Ecuadorian very hard mattresses. Nothing unusual in this. While the staff did not speak much English, they tried very hard to be attentive to our needs.

A great overnight between Cotopaxi and Banos. Very atmospheric building

We reserved two dbl beds.. they gave us one dbl. So they squeezed in a single into the room with space for one double and charged us the same amount. My bed was right next to the neighbours clothes closet and it was crash bang crash bang right next to ear when I was trying to sleep. They locked the entrance door to the building itself...or rather they bolted it as there was no key. Trying to get back into the hotel during the day ... we had to continually bang on the door to hopefully get someone's attention ... we even tried banging on their restaurant door. This was not impressive to say the least .. what if I had needed help ?.. but we were totally pi$$ed off when in the middle of the afternoon and a downpour of rain started ... we raced back to the hotel to find both doors solidly bolted and no one there. I was so frantic to get in I became worried my pounding might break the glass. The service WAS excellent when there was someone there ...and VERY nice people. Breakfast ample and tasty.

We arrived at 9:30pm into the unknown, more than a little apprehensive about what we had done just getting on a bus, into the heart of Ecuador we had no idea how far it was from the street corner we exited the bus. After a two minute taxi ride we knocked on the outside door and stepped into a glorious hacienda that made us feel like we had stepped back in time the gentleman that checked us in have very good command of English and excellent manners. We loved our little room, it was not small but it wasn't large. We were charmed by the furnishings and old world style. This place utterly enchanted me and in the morning our host was gracious enough to show me around a little. If I had to anything bad it, I can I never had such bleached stiff sheets in my life.

Very nice hotel, it is a historic place with excelent maintenace, the staff is great , specially its owner Nelson. If you ser going to the National Parks, it is a great option.
