We had a super welcome by the hotel proprietor who escorted us personally to our room. The hotel is very small, only seven rooms and is 15 mins from the airport. The room is nice and large with a king bed, large wall tv and plenty of outlets for our phones etc.. The hotel is nicely decorated and very clean. I would highly recommend this hotel when visiting Quito.

I highly recommend this hotel. It is small, private with a lovely patio and garden. We were greeted with a very warm welcome by Santiago and Catalina who made us feel most welcome. Catalina made us a lovely dinner which was served in their small but beautifully decorated dining room. The hotel is spotlessly clean, the rooms nice and large and the king bed very comfortable. This is the second time we have been here and will again if we visit Quito in the future.

No more.

I'm rating this 3 stars only for the frustration that the owner had placed on me over a billing concern. Between Hotels.com and the hotel owner, I was charged for last minute extra stay and last minute cancelation from the owner even after the site chat session had received a waiver directly from the owner over the phone. I followed directions to cancel via app but evidently the owner charged my card stating she's providing me a break. I understand the business aspect of it and agreement that applies to cancelation and shortening stays but I strongly felt that both sides did not provide some sort of customer satisfaction in this sudden cha ge of plans. I'm no longer continuing with Hotels.com nor stay at this location. I'll be relying on AirBnB which is much more convenient, less costly and less hassle.

Super étape pour éviter Quito de retour d'Amazonie

Excellent choix pour ceux qui reviennent d'Amazonie et ne veulent pas se remettre dans les bouchon de Quito ! Plus de 2 à 3 heures de gagnées !! Endroit très calme, très propre, et des hôtes aux petits soins (sont même venus nous chercher à la navette à 21h). Vraiment un bel endroit... Excellent petit déjeuner. Seul bémol = 1 tarif cher pour l'équateur !

Excelente sitio, muy conveniente cerca del aeropuerto de Quito. Los dueños ( La Sra Gina y el Sr Santiago) son excelentes personas y muy atentos. No lo piense dos veces si debe estar en un sitio cerca del aeropuerto. La casa es genial, todo muy limpio y serás bien atendido.
