We loved this hotel! We were traveling with two young children and the hotel was perfect. There is a backyard and a small gated front courtyard. Gloria, who works at the front desk is wonderful and will help you with anything you need. The breakfast was amazing -- no menu, you simply tell them (in Spanish) what you want. We... more

Since Santa Barbara was recommended to us by a family member who'd spent time there, we went with high expectations and were not disappointed. As others have said, it's a lovely hotel and the staff couldn't be nicer, especially Gloria. We used it as our base and returned several times from jungle, Mindo, etc. and hence stayed in a variety... more

We stayed at this nice restored 16-room 1920's colonial mansion for 1 day pre-Celebrity Galapagos cruise and 1 day post cruise, room 11 which is in the rear, first floor, facing a courtyard. The room was spacious with a queen bed and double bed, private bath, tv, free safe, internet available, and breakfeast. Luria and Mauro at the front desk... more

July 2, 2008 We just returned from Ecuador and had a great time. We flew in to Quito and chose Hotel Santa Barbara as our base. It was great because it had great security and the staff could not have been more accomodating. The hotel/Hostel has free internet connection and it was fast. My daughter was on it constantly. We... more

We stayed at this hotel for 2 stays of one night each while visiting the Galapagos and the Cloudforest. This hotel had a nice historical setting and was a great value. The price includes breakfast and wireless internet (or use of a free computer in the lobby). They also stored our bags for free on two occasions. This 19 room... more

What a gem this small hostal is. Located in a lovely colonial building (unfortunately surrounded by office blocks but that is the way of the world now) it is quiet and comfortable and Agustin and Gloria are a delightful couple. There is nothing that is too much trouble for them from meeting you with an umbrella to arranging taxis and... more

We stayed at Hostal Santa Barbara 3 times over our last 2 weeks traveling in Ecuador. (almost all travel in Ecuador seems to entail an overnight in Quito.) Santa Barbara is a find. It is spotlessly clean, with parquet style wooden floors, heaters in the rooms (important for cold Quito nights), hot showers, interesting art on the walls, and everything... more

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in all on our recent trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos. It is a small hotel in a colonial type mansion. It has rooms in the main house and some cabin type rooms on the grounds. The facility has a security gate but the neighborhood is not bad. We walked to nearby... more

A beautiful colonial building in walking distance of the Mariscal area for bars and restaurants at night. We stayed here twice during our stay in Ecuador, first in a small but comfortable twin downstairs room and then a second time in a huge, impressive and clean triple room on the first floor. The staff were ALL very helpful both during... more

We spent four nights total in the Santa Barbara over our eight day stay in Ecuador, using it as our base/storage spot in Quito as we visited Quito, Otavalo and Mindo. The hotel is an old colonial mansion and has that comfortable old style charm. The rooms were spotlessly clean, relatively quiet (it is a city after all) and decent... more
