Hotels near Simon Bolivar Andean University, Quito

We are leaving for other parts of the country today but really enjoyed my 4 nights here. Mainly local business people - I didn't see any tourists at hotel. But very comfortable - rooms are small but good wifi, lots of outlets, and plenty of hot water. Located about 1/2 hour taxi ride from Ciudad Historico and walking distance to Mariscal. Good breakfast provided each morning. Adrian at front desk was kind enough to get a driver for us for a couple of days to leave the city. They do have a small gym as well. I hope the next places we stay in Banos, Cuenca, and Guayaquil are as nice as this.

good surroundings, taxi station across the street but 20 min walk form metro station, a lot of dining places around and a big commercila mall wothin 10 minutes walking, room equipment is OK.

The hotel is beautiful and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We stayed 2 nights before our Galapagos cruise and 1 night after. The extensive buffet breakfast was included in the restaurante on the 17th floor with a glorious view of Quito. I wish we had time to take advantage of the pool and spa services which were in beautifully designed settings. Jose Ruiz was especially supportive of us when we arrived at 1am after long flights from Oregon. When we returned he was attentive as well. The only issue we had was with the room light and curtain system which seemed very complicated. We never mastered it but we didnt ask for help either!! We would choose this hotel for sure for our next trip.

Breakfast is good, staff service is also very good, try the buffet lunch at noon, 13 dollars is also good, you can try it

We had a very early flight out of Quito and needed a hotel fairly close to the airport just to sleep for a few hours before taking off. We booked Ilalo Garden Hotel because it stated it was ”7 miles from Mariscal Sucre Airport.” We trusted that this information was accurate, however it ended up being more like 15-20 miles, about a 30-40 min drive depending on traffic, which is why I docked them a point. Aside from this, the hotel itself was nice. It is located in a residential area and family owned. Very modern, clean, and safe. It offers a restaurant and little shop to buy local natural goods. We did dine at the restaurant, and while decent, the language barrier created a bit of a confusion and we ended up with items we didn't order, and some incorrect modifications, but I really can't hold this against them. Nice large selection of items though, including wine and beer. The rooms themselves are great. Modern, with very comfortable beds, Tv's, and a safe. They offer a little coffee and water station on each floor which is a nice touch. Bathrooms are spacious with nice high pressure showers and local products for use. My only complaint with the rooms was the plumbing. Our neighbor was taking a shower around 9pm, and it was extremely loud in our room. My guess is the pipes might not be the best, as I have never really encountered this issue in a hotel before. Wifi here was the fastest we encountered in Ecuador, which was a huge plus. Staff was friendly and accommodating. They were nice enough to arrange a driver for us at our 3am departure to the airport. Overall, I would recommend this hotel. Nice, modern and comfortable with good service

Very helpful and friendly staff and many spoke English. Our room was in the ”modern wing” which had posted signs in the hallways asking that you keep quiet. Filtered water was available from 5-gallon jugs at multiple locations in the hallways. The room itself was very comfortable. The bathroom area had two sinks, plenty of counterspace, and separate ”rooms” for toilet and shower. Room also had a safe. No A/C but windows did open -- and there was an overhead fan. You are able to close the window when sleeping and able to block much of the noise from overhead planes. Had two sets of blinds to block out any light. The grounds were well manicured and attracted various birds, to include the gorgeous Vermillion Flycatcher (see photo). At least three Llamas roam the grounds and the friendly house-cat, Sylvestre, stopped by to say hello several times (we sought him out the 2nd night). The restaurant had a large dinner menu and offered a nice selection of local dishes that were freshly prepared. We ate two breakfasts - buffet style; fresh fruit, cereal, breads, cold meats and cheese plus hot items (scrambled eggs offered each day). At one end of the parking lot there is access to a nice trail and the neighboring farm - we walked around this area and felt safe at all times. While we had our own airport-transfer organized, the hotel does state that they offer this service. It's about a 20-25 minute drive to the airport. For bird-watchers, there is an eBird location called ”Hosteria San Jose de Puembo.”

My wife and I always stay overnight at the Wyndham when we arrive on a late flight to Quito after our travels. We live fairly close-by but we feel like we are extending our vacation for another night when we stay here. The hotel is beautiful and everyone we come into contact with is very nice and provides impeccable service.
