Guest Reviews
- Denis (9/5): Excellente option à Otavalo - Excellente option à Otavalo. On peut s'y rendre sans risque pour la qualité de l'accueil, la propreté, le petit déjeuner et la proximité du centre ville. Rien. Tout était très bien et correspondait à nos attentes.
- Laura (8/5): - Es bonito. El personal amable. Limpio. Buen desayuno. Se escuchaba el ruido de las habitaciones vecinas. La ducha, música, etc. La cama no era tan cómoda.

- Marleen (10/5): - Amazing stay! Really friendly people working there and perfect location!
- Andrea (6/5): Mi aspettavo di più - La struttura è molto carina in pieno centro e con parcheggio a disposizione Bisogna capire innanzitutto se si tratta di HOTEL o di HOSTEL. La sera in cui abbiamo soggiornato la struttura è stata presa d’assalto da una ventina di giovani (con persone adulte al seguito presumo per controllo) che già dal pomeriggio fino a sera inoltrata ore 23:00 hanno cantato, urlato e fatto schiamazzi. Il locale preposto a cucina e sala per cena e colazione e’ stato da loro monopolizzato fino a tarda sera facendosi LORO STESSI da mangiare. Da qui la domanda se si tratti davvero di un Hotel. Noi, sistemati al piano terra eravamo praticamente attaccati alla sala dove hanno cenato, cucinato e fatto Karaoke. Alla fine del divertimento verso le 23:00 ci si è messo l’addetto alle pulizie a resettare e pulire stoviglie fino a tarda ora. Dulcis in fundo i ragazzi invece di ritornare nelle loro stanze si sono messi a chiacchierare e ridere bellamente oltre la mezzanotte davanti alle camere . Sono dovuta uscire a redarguirli . Il personale della struttura dovrebbe quantomeno dare orari e ad una certa ora pretendere il silenzio. 🤫 Trattandosi di un gruppo sarebbe bastato alloggiare due di loro al piano terra attaccati al refettorio da loro monopolizzato e chi come noi , desiderosi di riposo , dopo un giro itinerante x l’Ecuador essere sistemati al terzo piano .

- Gabriela (9/5): Gran lugar - Las habitaciones son amplias y limpias y las almohadas son muy cómodas Nada
- Jose (9/5): La hospitalidad excelente como también el - Sus instalaciones, que cuentan con parqueadero privado Más que no me gustó, es que la señal del cable fallaba mientras miraba una película, deben mejorar
- Almeida (9/5): -
- Alberto Carballal (10/5): -
- Agama (9/5): Hotel apto para el descanso y desconexión - Me gustó el diseño, con palillos al aire libre, como un hotel de playa, pero en la ciudad. Eso favorece el descanso y la desconexión con la rutina. Todo me gustó. Si pudiera mejorar algo, sugeriría una capacitación a las personas de la recepción, para mejorar la calidad de servicio (sí fueron amables pero todavía pueden mejorar👍🏼)
- Sara (10/5): - Struttura curata e pulita, colazione ottima, molto utile avere un parcheggio interno! In centro!

Au centre ville, parfait pour aller au marché le matin.
Il y a un parking ce qui est très pratique.
Le.dejeuner est simple, mais correct. L'hôtel bruyant. On s'est fait réveiller plusieurs fois par les voisins.
- Pierre (9/5): A great location with helpful staff. - The location is fantastic. Excellent breakfast and staff. Very clean and comfortable room with a volcano view. And you can always go look from the roof top for an amazing 360 view of the volcanoes and hills.
- eliana lucia (8/5): - La ubicación y la atención del personal

- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional - Very good hotel inside the town Nothing
- Ruiz (8/5): Very good -
- Katerine (8/5): Good Option for a Good Price - I liked the cleanliness and the hospitality of the staff, the possibility of parking. I did not like the breakfast, I was served small portions, not so tasty and the coffee was not good at all.
- María (8/5): Very good -
- Edwin (8/5): Very good - Price Nothing to dislike
- Matthew (8/5): Comfortable & Great Value - Simple, clean, and exactly what we needed. Comfortable bed and pillows, clean and functional bathroom, and a few shelves for our bags. Parking included in a secured lot attached to the hotel. Honestly the biggest "issue" I noticed was the lock on the door being a bit difficult to use as the key needs to be turned really close to the door frame. It's just awkward (but functional).
- Pamela (1/5): Bad - It's on edcador All I didn't see
- Cerys (8/5): Very good - Decent hotel in Otavalo, a few blocks walk from the market. The rooms were simple but clean and the breakfast was good. Pet friendly
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and modern hotel very near the centre of town, bars and restaurants. Secure off street parking. Friendly, helpful staff. There's a public carpark next door, so inevitably some noise in the mornings.
- Francesca (8/5): Great for a few days - Staff were super friendly and helpful. They offered advice and suggestions and helped us book taxis. The garden was lovely. Hotel very clean. Breakfast was ways great, they made such yummy pancakes, eggs and fresh juice every morning. There was no a.c or heating system in the room.
The doors are not sound proof so you could hear all the noise from other guests and activity going on outside the room.
- Alexander (10/5): Exceptional -
- Steve (9/5): Was perfect for what I was after. -
- Julie (8/5): Good Value - Central Location , friendly helpful staff, basic, clean, good value for money
- Paul (8/5): Good value for money, great location, and good breakfast! - Fantastic location, close to the markets ,restaurants, and bars. The breakfast was delicious, and it was generally very quiet. Dog friendly! The resident dogs can be quite aggressive, so make sure their owners hold them when you walk past them in the lobby.
