Our waiter, and I am so sorry I can't remember how to pronounce his name, it start with a J and he's 27, originally from Esmeraldas. He was amazing and kind and knowledgeable. The food was amazing and those views?! Can't be beat, our driver Elizabeth was beyond kind and amazing too! What a beautiful experience!

Really the only odd thing was an older man opened our room door and then quickly shut it, I think he was giving a tour of the rooms. Totally understandable mistake, helped me to remember to lock the door. :) the only other thing I didn't like was that we didn't have more time there ;)

The view here is everything. But if that’s not enough, the bed is comfortable, there is ample hot water, and the WiFi is good. Treat yourself by upgrading to either the balcony room or the top floor room. The dual windows offer you a double view of the area and it’s gorgeous. We also decided to book massages during our stay and they were lovely. In addition to having an awesome view, the hotel is right next to some great walking trails. You can either opt to go down into Pululahua or take the high trail to walk at the top of the crater. We went into the town but wished we’d done the high trail for better views. The staff here, especially Omar, are great!

A special hotel with an amazing vista just north of Quito. Quiet location, nice restaurant and lovely spacious suite rooms.

Great hotel so didn’t dislike anything but it could be difficult to get to without a car.

The staff is friendly, the room was cozy and very comfortable.

The TV was not as functional as expected. But make a perfect situation for reading a book!

Amazing views - a room upgrade is definitely worth the price. Huge rooms that are very clean.

The food is a little pricey and there are no alternatives due to the location.
