In a great location close to all amenities and transport right outside the front door. Room was spacious enough with TV and great wifi, cleaning daily and really hot water in the shower. Fridge available in upstairs communal kitchen and free coffee/tea. Jose was always helpful with information and put us in the right direction with helpful hints to make sure we had a good time in Otavalo. Our Spainish was very basic but Jose was patient and together we made things happen and picked up some more of the language. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would go back if in the area again. ##### Sharon Stayed 6 nights in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### KERLY MARIELA May 30, 2024 Liked: Amenities . ##### KERLY MARIELA Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zoila Ximena Apr 10, 2022 ##### Zoila Ximena Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 27, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolina Jan 7, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Carolina Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie Christine Aug 28, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Marie Christine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie Christine Aug 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Marie Christine Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gerard Apr 28, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service ##### Gerard Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 21, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 17, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff was helpful and patient.
