What a beautiful hotel! I felt like i was in Italy, yet right outside was Ecuadorian chocolate and coffee. And everything else. The receptionist was lovely and very helpful. It is on a VERY busy street, so i would not want to be driving there, and ther room I was in was next to the reception area, so it was noisy. Ask for a room farther away if noise bothers you.

I enjoyed this property because the free breakfast was served kindly and thoughtfully. I also booked tours like the Cajas and a Bus ride to Turi through them. As an English speaker, the receptionists were attentive to my questions and answered them well.
