My seven night stay at this hotel was a delight. It has a lovely decor, reminiscent of a french country inn with each room individually decorated. The location is good, near a large selection of reasonably priced restaurants and nightclubs. It is also an easy five minute, inexpensive (three to four dollars) taxi ride to Quito's historic center. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating, especially Veronica. She speaks fluent English and she provides assistance with day tours, airport shuttle arrangements, dining recommendations, activities, etc. The breakfasts were nice: fresh fruits, eggs cooked in any style, freshly squeezed juices and croissants. I definitely recommend this hotel for a memorable experience with that special added touch.
