“A fantastic experience! Luis is very friendly and attentive, and even gave us a ride to the Otavalo market. The breakfasts were great and the dinners too. Great hosts and very comfortable room with excellent shower! Highly recommended!!”
“Very good location, very kind and communicative staff, good breakfast, 24/7 reception and clean rooms/floors and hotel.
Good value for money. Safe area and very close to everything including Plaza de ponchos, many restaurants and exactly by the bus terminal.
You can see the life of the city from the balcony because on that street there's everything from vendors to stores to dogs to locals arguing kids going to and from school....it's very lively and loud and authentic.
The loud part is not for everyone though.
At breakfast the staff was able to accommodate our small requests or modifies. Very kind :)”
“The room was nice, spacious and clean, and the location was good.We could wash the laundry and hang on the terrace. Nice view from the terrace. The breakfast was good, especially the juice , even if it was the same every single day.”
“Very nice view of Lake San Pablo and ideal starting point to hike Warmi Imbabura. The host and his family are extraordinarily nice and helpful. The daughter prepares a delicious breakfast, and the son brought us hot water bottles in the evening. Patricio even drove us to the nearest bus station to Quito. Muy recomendable!”
“I have stayed 2 nights in El Tio and i loved it! The place where the hostal is located and the territory of it is so beautiful, it’s reminded me a lot about the village of my childhood with chickens, garden, wooden walls. Just behind the hostal begins the trails to walk and hike in the Imbabura volcano and the view from there is precious. The owner, Tio, such a nice person. Recommend you a lot to stay there! Gracias el Tio!”
“Cannot recommend this place highly enough for a stay near Otavalo. Wonderful facilities and grounds, and exceptionally helpful staff. It's nice to be in a quiet location but still easy to travel into Otavalo or many other day trips in the area. They were very helpful in organising taxis!”
