A beautiful, clean, quiet, comfortable accommodation in Otavalo. Meals are superb, except the free breakfast needs a few more items. The yard and a garden are full of beautiful flowers, shrubs, trees and birds. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and courteous.

I would highly recommend this garden gem. I now understand why it's such a favourite. It's a lovely, well run hotel with traditional Andean decor, comfortable rooms, and a great restaurant. It also has a beautiful garden filled with birds. When my husband and I were there the weather got very rainy in the afternoons so we would head back... More

I just brought my 8 member biologist travelers to Otavalo on Friday, then enjoy the animal and main markets on Saturday morning. The hotels owner has been here for a couple of years, has... More

This was an absolutely beautiful hotel. Our suite was amazing and very large which was perfect for our family. The Cafe Pachamama inside the hotel served some absolutely amazing food. We ate almost all of our meals here and everything we had was delicious. We found out the groundskeeper was a renowned musician, so we hired him and his band... More

I lived and worked in the communities outside of Otavalo, Ecuador for nine months as an intern for a small non profit. Sometimes, when I couldn't take one more meal of potatoes, or one more day with a bucket shower, I would splurge and get a room in La Posada del Quinde. This was a big deal for me, I... More
