I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights as part of an organised tour. The communal areas are more of what you'd expect in a hostel, but the rooms were definitely more like a hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and most of them spoke good English. The wifi was pretty good in all areas. The communal areas were lovely, there was a courtyard in the middle and some enclosed gardens. It felt like a haven in the middle of the city. My room was a good size, there was an entrance way almost like a foyer, with the bedroom and bathroom coming off that. The bed was large and comfortable with lots of layers as it does get cold in Otavalo at night. I don't think the hotel had central heating, but there was a portable heater in my room. The bathroom was ok, the door was in an awkward position but it was workable. There was a shower but no bath tub, the hot water was mostly ok. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. There was tea and coffee, nice bread rolls with butter and jam, juice, and they asked you how you wanted your eggs (you could have fruit if you didn't want eggs). I got laundry done during my stay, it was cheap and done well. Overall a great stay, it's definitely not luxurious but very quaint and charming, has a good location in the city centre but still manages to be very quiet at night.

We had the room 20 which has it's own private terrasse with a view on the C volcano (it was very cloudy so we did not see it entirely but still...). We were very impressed with this. The room was very clean and warm and the bed was extremely comfortable. Fredy was very accomodating also and agreed to keep our luggage for the day after the checkout since we left for the airport at n=ight around 7 pm. We could also use a shower just before leaving at night, which was a nice touch. The staff (2 young men) and Freddy were all very nice and made us feel at ease. You can't go wrong with this hotel. It was recommended to us by our driver and we would come back for sure. The shower in our room functionned awckwadrly and we lacked hot water for a couple of minutes each time but overall not a big deal. Also there was not fruits served for breakfast which was a bit disapointing but the fresh juice was excellent so again, not a big deal.
