The creaking of the floorboards in my room got on my nerves. Of course, it is part of the ambiance of a preserved historic building, and I understand not all the rooms are like this. Others may find it part of the experience. I was surprised, nevertheless, that the rooms are pretty soundproof, so I didn't hear creaking outside my room!

Breakfast was incredible, and the museum in all the corridors was awesome! truly unique hotel.

The music in the bar area was modern pop.

This is the most unique place we have ever stayed. This 250 year old hosteria/ hotel is an incredible experience. We had a room in the oldest part of the hotel. The ambiance and detailing was superb. Our room had a seperate seating area with open fire , but alas it wasn’t cold enough to light but there is also in-wall heating and the room was super cozy. The bed sooo comfortable like sleeping on a cloud. Even though its close to a main road once inside you would never know- it is totally quiet. We slept so well. The whole hotel is full of the owners antique art and collectables. Its like a living Museum. You can take a tour with a staff member to hear about the history and impressive collection. The restaurant food was very high standard. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet. We enjoyed an spa treatment and 2 hours in the wet spa area. The spa is absolute magical wonderland. There is a courtyard with friendly rabbits and peacocks. A beautiful touch! The staff were excellent in all regards. We loved our stay!

This is the most interesting hotel we’ve ever stayed at! It’s got a long history of providing lodging and the living care and restoration of the property really shows! The owner is also a serious collector and has some of the coolest antiques from around the world. The bed was extremely comfortable, the water was hot in the shower, (it even had a hair straightener which I treated myself to using!). The WiFi worked great, the rabbit courtyard was unique and adorable, the spa—you have to see it for yourself!, and the food at the restaurant was great! There’s also great views of Chimborazo across the street if the clouds cooperate. The staff was also great! Treat yourself while in Ecuador and stay here!!!

Honestly can't really think of anything.

It is an incredibly gorgeous place, a taste of paradise in a hotel! Amazing gardens, attentive and friendly staff, billiard table, library, all in an exceptionally beautiful setting.

We came here after coming down from a 2-day ascent to Carihuairazo to unwind. It did not disappoint. The spa and restaurant were great and reasonably priced. It's a pretty fascinating property. It's old and filled with quirky, decor from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Simon Bolivar stayed there. The courtyard houses domestic rabbits who follow you around and a pair of peacocks. It's definitely an experience.

It's very hard to find something I didn't like.

The room was very nice, very clean and with everything I needed. The food from the restaurant is very tasty. They have a SPA and I did a massage very relaxing (thank you Vanessa!), the best ever. The staff is nice and welcoming.

A Beautiful Hacienda , Ideal place to connect with nature and travel back in time .

Stayed in August 2022

I felt that there were too many antique and old painting and sculptures which feels like a bit museum kind of air.

Viewing the Chimborazo mountain from the entrance in the morning was breath taking. The breakfast buffet was beautifully arranged and decorated in a Ecuadorian country side fashion.
