Loved my stay here after hiking the Quilatoa Trail and staying in easier accommodations before. Hotel is on European standards. Shower was hot, restaurants nearby, breakfast was good and good value for money.

Paola is a wonderful host! She goes out of her way to help her guests. It was the third stay I had at Casa Sakiwa and it always feels like coming home after each climb in Cotopaxi National Park. Great breakfast too!

We used Casa Sakiwa as a base camp between climbing huts for almost 2 weeks. It turned out to be a little home away from home. The property is beautiful, and the location is perfect. Machachi was a great little town to spend our rest days grabbing a steak and an icecream in. The owner and staff of the hotel are so helpful, Pao helped us with a gazzilion things like transport, park access, laundry, ect. Over all it was such great value and has my full recommendation.

Paola was very nice, good deal in booking for a reaaally goood rooom!! Very comfortable and very good breakfast! They also organise trips to Cotopaxi. Restaurants close to the hotel

The only things we didn't really liked had nothing to do with the hotel: the city of Machachi isn't the most attractive town and we had a hard time finding a good restaurant in vicinity.

The hotel was amazing. The owner was incredibly nice and attentive, the rooms were clean and very nice and the bathroom had a Jacuzzi. Next to the hotel is a small park and on the night we were there a public Zumba class was held there. From our room we had a great view of the mountains.

Hotel Casa Sakiwa in Machachi exceeded our expectations! The stunning views, cozy rooms, and delicious breakfast made our stay unforgettable. Special thanks to Paola for arranging a beautiful cake and candles for my wife’s birthday—your thoughtful gesture made the day truly special!

The hotel owners were so kind and accommodating. They went above and beyond when a member of our party had altitude sickness - offering her tea and space to lay down, even after our official check out time. Paola helped to coordinate a tour for us. Highly recommend staying here.

Staff were incredibly helpful in organising activities and bike rental

The remote control did not work in our room, but we did not even bothered to ask for a new remote because we were just enjoying the view to Cotopaxi and resting. Had we done so, I am sure that the manager would have solved the problem. We just did not want to bother her because she was so kind to us.

Staying at this hotel feels like being welcomed home by your family. Great value for money, spacious room with a beautiful view to Cotopaxi and excellent location, just around the corner from the main road with several restaurants nearby, are among its excellent features, but the breakfast stands out for the kindness and care of the lady who will set the buffet and prepare eggs a la carte for you and who will remind you of your grandmother almost inevitably. The hotel manager was just as kind and helpful. I wish we had stayed longer.

The location was okay. Street noise and the barking dogs at night were less than desirable.

This hotel exceeded my expectations for the price. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful and friendly. We ate dinner on both nights and the food was very good. They gave us a cute change purse as a gift.

It is a wonderful calm place, I loved the mountain view. There are some restaurants near and a nice park.

The water was not consistently warm, so we couldn’t really use the bathtub…

we got an upgrade to the suite, which was nice. Staff is amazing and really helpful. The buffet style breakfast is nice. A lot of choice and freshly made eggs of choice.

There was an over $850 hold placed on our credit card which we were not told about.

The hotel was very nice and Paola was even nicer. she made sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was the best we had in all of the 8 places we stayed in Ecuador. The double jacuzzi in our room was super for a soak after our tour. Our tour to Quilotoa was arranged perfectly and our guide was exceptional. We were given a small gift on checkout. Just all the little things were very nice!

A great hotel. The rooms are very modern and large, our room even had a jacuzzi. The shower has enough water pressure and hot water. The beds are comfortable and long enough. The staff is very nice and helpful and speaks perfect English. Everything very clean. The breakfast is very fine, with eggs, bread, fruit, flakes and yoghurt.
