The best hotels Ecuador

In the city centre, in a small modern building with no charm, a welcoming and comfortable pension of thirty rooms, all with bathroom and hot water. Restaurant.

In a beautiful old house, the 30 rooms are large, high ceilings, and equipped with shower, TV and Wi-Fi connection. Only hic: most of them are quite obscure. The address is appreciated by group travellers. Gustavo, the manager, will give you a charming welcome. Restaurant on site.

Superb palm trees frame this pretty 19th century hacienda, which has been converted by its owners to receive visitors. The comfort is simple but sufficient, the decoration of good taste, the family and friendly atmosphere. The organic garden is at the disposal of the cooks who will prepare delicious local recipes with top quality ingredients. In the lush garden surrounding the property, you will even have the opportunity to meet some of the llamas that live there, with a view of the magnificent Imbabura volcano as a backdrop.

The 16 rooms are correct but a little dark. They have a modern building.

You will be staying in huts built in raw land and wood spread on the mountain or on the river. Several comfort options are available. The interior of the houses is rustic, natural and well equipped. Clients are greatly invited to participate in the daily life of the reserve: enhance the banks of the river, reforest, make a floristic inventory of the reserve…

Comfortable rooms with private bathroom, TV and telephone. Restaurant.

This restaurant, albeit a little away from the centre, is an excellent economic address (4 US $ by taxi from the city centre or the ground terminal, and US $ 5 from the airport). The Hostal is managed by Isabelle, a Quebecer who arrived here more than 20 years ago. Set in a tropical style, it offers basic rooms of different capacities at very reasonable prices. A friendly atmosphere. Breakfast and vegetarian cuisine. Dreamkapture also has a sister company that offers different stays in Ecuador. A specialist in the Galapagos, they will also be able to organise a 5 to 8 day cruise around the archipelago, including flight and cruise (different categories of boats).

This modern three storey building (not to be confused with the Indio Inn!) has the advantage of being located in the heart of the market (attention to noise early in the morning when you have a room overlooking the street!). It offers a dozen suitable basic rooms with private bathroom and TV.
