Was very pleasantly surprised with Rumipamba de las Rosas. Was in town for the Inti Raymi festival and booked last minute. I am surprised at some of the other reviews as I feel I got a very good deal. On Booking.com it was $43 for 2 people. The night before when I was looking it was $40 for 1 person, so keep checking back. There are plenty of rooms and as there isn't much to do in Salcedo, I am sure the rates will go down. The rooms were adorable. 2 double beds with a loft and 3 other beds. They were decorated tastefully and comfortably, which I find rare in Ecuador. I will agree that the water does not get very hot. I was excited to use the bath but the water was tepid. We also loved the meal we got in the restaurant. I had the sirloin which was served on a volcanic rock. I ordered medium and when they first brought it back to me it was very rare on the inside, so we sent it back and when it was returned, it was perfect. By far the best steak I have had in Ecuador. I would make the trip back just for the steak, but also for another nights stay in this unique hosteria. If you are in the area, I highly recommend it. There is also a lot to do on the grounds if you...Was very pleasantly surprised with Rumipamba de las Rosas. Was in town for the Inti Raymi festival and booked last minute.
