Maggie and her staff are incredibly helpful. She arranged a taxi to take us to the surrounding villages where handcrafted textiles are still made. We visited 3 different villages and were able to tour multiple workshops, which in most cases were also the proprietor's home. This was great because most of the stuff in the Otavalo market is now machine-made... More

As a former airline employee, we were traveling on companion passes and our flight to Costa Rica (out of Atlanta) was... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights in order to visit the market in Otavalo. The hotel has changed its name in recent years, which caused a little confusion when we were in the taxi. Once we found the place, however, it was great. The rooms are quiet and spacious, although a little basic. There was no safe or... More

The pros: Great Location for the Otavalo market, the... More

Our family and friends stayed three nights at this wonderful small, quaint hotel and loved all aspects. It was very clean and quiet - comfortable beds, plenty of hot water in large bathroom, good breakfast included (choices of eggs, oatmeal, granola, toast, juice, etc.). (We also ate two dinners at La Posada and enjoyed all the food). We especially enjoyed... More

We stayed in the family suite at La Posada del Quinde, with multiple rooms, living area and a kitchen. This offered great views of the mountains and was a great place to relax with our young family. Maggie is a wonderful and friendly host with plenty of tips for excursions around the Otavalo area - thanks for a great place... More

Maggie, the owner was on top of it all the time. It was clean, food great and she set up all of our outside tours. Everyone loves her and we feel the same. I could not ask for a more accommodating person. I was, still am here with my children and their spouses and my three grandchildren. I would recommend... More
