This has to be the best hotel in the world. I'll give you 3 reasons:
1. The people
The whole team at Mashpi is just incredible, the service is world class and i felt like one of the family from the moment i arrived. Marc and the rest of the team lead and inspire an enthusiastic young team of passionate staff members and it's a privilege to see.
2. The Nature
Take the hotel away, and where its built, i could have slept in a tent and i would have been happy. The forest is enchanting. The story...

We entered Ecuador completely blind not knowing what to expect and on arrival were met by a national strike, riots and soldiers on the streets, suffice to say we were a little scared.
However our initial impressions and experience soon turned into one of the greatest countries I have visited, and undoubtedly the best hotel I have ever stayed at, seriously if you are ever in Ecuador (and you must visit) you have to stay at the Hacienda Rumiloma it is a wonderful hotel that not only treats it's...

Le Parc was an excellent hotel with an atmosphere of warmth and helpfulness which came from every one of their staff. Any request was fulfilled immediately and always with a smile. I had three separate visits during a two week holiday so experienced different rooms which were all spacious, clean and comfortable.
Some of the rooms are located in different towers so it is a mission getting to them with different elevators and a walk through passages. It also means that we were forced to go up...

A unique experience within a beautiful city, Casona D’Alameda was a very worthwhile stay and contributed very positively to our experience of Quito. We stayed for three weeks, during which we travelled for four days to the Galapagos, as well as exploring what Quito has to offer and travelling a little further afield to the towns and monuments surrounding Quito. By staying here, rather than in an non-descript hotel which might leave us feeling that we were in any city in the world, our stay at...

Great experience overall. Decent room, fantastic breakfast, friendly staff and nice restaurant. Started badly as they cocked up my taxi booking from the airport, but they sorted it and apologised. My driver (Andres) was brilliant and looked after me during my stay, becoming a friend in the process! If i could give him a score of 11/10 I would.

I booked the shuttle to collect me at the airport and I was collected ( paid the driver directly usd 25).
No Air con so open the window for a bit of fresh air,
lovely welcome with drinks and biscuits.
Easy check out
Had breakfast outside as in the hotel you should count usd15.
Well located in the modern town. Opposite Carolina Park and supermarket Mall El Jardin is just a walk away.

A charming small hotel very well situated in the historic centre district just a short walk from the plaza grande. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms well equipped and kept spotlessly clean . The hosts were as charming as they were helpful and made our stay a most enjoyable one.

The hotel benefits from an excellent location just across the street from the Quicentro shopping centre and all of its cafes and restaurants. It is a great spot to start exploring the city and is in a generally safe area. There are security guards outside the property and overall you will find that this is a safe hotel.
The property is a good size, with 136 bedrooms so it is a nice intimate space with about 14 rooms on each floor meaning this is not a bustling and chaotic hotel, which is...

Our initial room assignment was not to our liking, and Vanessa at the desk was very helpful in relocating us to a room with a fabulous view of the city. Everything after the relocation was to our liking, except having to get up at 4:30am to catch our ride to the airport on the day of our departure. Both JoAn and I enjoyed the upscale accommodations after spending 8 days on the Galapagos Islands.

Excellent stay at casa gardenia. Andres was a great host with excellent advice, he arranged several tours which were far better than we could have sourced. The hotel is really nice and comfortable, very tastefully done and in a great location.
