Relaxed and recharged

Recently my family spent the night at this beautiful hosteria. As soon as we walked through the door we felt welcomed. Katy gave us a wonderful, fact filled tour of the place. Highlighted with many collections throughout the hosteria including religious art, old telephones and typewriters. The spa is a beautiful, relaxing space. We had great massages and facials. The food was delicious and the service top notch. Great place- clean, gorgeous plants, fun kids area, beautiful spa- they have it all. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommended it.

Wonderful historic hotel. Quaint and cosy. A feast for the eyes and lovely stay

Magnificent historic hacienda hotel full of unusual oddities and antiques. Beautiful dark wood, creaky floor boards and stone. Stunning plants and shrubs as well as garden ornaments add to the atmosphere. The hotel is a maze of walkways and rooms with elaborate decorations, pictures and statues everywhere. For such a quaint and small place it has lots of places to view and visit; there are pool tables, library, lovely souvenir shop, cosy bar, nice sized restaurant for breakfast/dinner and courtyard and gardens. The rooms are dotted about on a couple of floors along colourful corridors and each room is beautifully decorated to match the rest of the hotel. Very comfy bed and nice and warm room. Bathroom has what you need but like many hotels here hot water takes a while to come through. The bar drinks and food menu are what you expect with decent options and food was very tasty and well presented. The chocolate cake with ice cream was gorgeous. We also had live music with pan pipe players why we were there. Brilliant. Staff are very helpful and often always have a beaming smile and ready to help. Many speak great English. Thank you for my stay. Magnificent!…

Fabulous Old Hacienda

Beautiful setting with view of volcano. This hacienda is filled with lovely antiques. There are comfy sitting areas, pool room, bar, dining rooms, everything you would expect. The large courtyard has bunnies, peacocks and doves which is a unique feature. The food in the restaurant was absolutely delicious and artfully served. There is a very zen like spa as well.

A destination in itself!

This hotel is a beautiful property located about 10 miles outside of Riobamba. It's well situated for exploring both Chimborazo and Banos. As others have mentioned, the staff work really hard to make guests feel welcome and to accommodate special requests. Because the hotel is removed from the center of Riobamba, it's a great benefit that the food at the restaurant is excellent -- I had two dinners there in addition to the breakfasts that were included with the room. All of the food was delicious, well-prepared and the portions were generous. I also used the spa, which was wonderful in terms of the aesthetic and the services. And it's a tremendous value if you're used to U.S. prices. My therapist, Vanessa, was excellent. The hotel also connected me with a great guide--Joel Quinllin--whom I hired for a second day after having such a fun time on our first outing to Chimborazo. (We only spoke Spanish, but I assume he can guide English-only visitors as well.) Two minor inconveniences: (1) the hot water may take a while to get to your room, depending on where you are located on the sprawling property (though there was a sign in my bathroom stating it would take 5 minutes) and (2) I really wish that the bed had had a fitted sheet for the mattress rather than a flat sheet because I roll around a lot. The bed was otherwise very comfortable, though. Highly recommend this hotel as a budget-friendly bit of luxury in a beautiful part of the country.…

A magical and historical place!

This beautiful and historical hotel is one of my favorite places to stay! The food is spectacular, the rooms are gorgeous and the property itself is filled with stunning artwork and collections. The staff is wonderful and super helpful! Ask for a tour of the property to get the history of this 250 year old hotel!

We highly recommend Honsteria La Andaluza

We highly recommend Hosteria La Andaluza! The staff is incredible. Oscar and María Fernanda at the front desk were extremely attentive and helpful. The rooms are large, the bed was very comfortable, and the shower perfect! The restaurant is fantastic; the buffet breakfast generous with wonderful choices. On two evenings we ate dinner, all the meals were fantastic The Fillet Mignon was the stand out - tender and perfectly prepared. The restaurant waiters and supporting staff are super! Oscar and Maria arranged for Joel Ivan to guide and drive us to Mt. Chimborazo. Joel is great fun. If you need a guide, ask for him. To arrive we took a public bus from Latacunga. There is a bus stop just opposite Hosteria La Andaluza. Tom in Oakland California

Great customer service and great experience

I am a repeated customer to the hotel and I always find it to be excellent. The entire staff is friendly, the facilities and the ambience are great. I would highly recommend this place to friends and family. Excellent service from Maria Fernanda, who helped us with a tour around the hotel. She speaks English very well and is welcoming. My best to Catherine and the staff of the hotel.

A Magic hotel in RíoBamba

It was my first time traveling with my partner to Ríobamba and we decided to spend 1 night at hosteria la andaluza. Definitely we didn't miss, It was one of the most beautiful hotels we've ever been in Ecuador. It was an incredible experience, and the history of the hotel shared By Mafer, the receptionist, provided so much magic to the place we didn't want to leave it. Accommodations are very luxury in the middle on the mountains. Food is great. Enjoy.
