Quito, Ecuador Hotel Rooms at the Independent

The hotel was very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The single person room I was in was quite small, but sufficient. The room was very quiet even with the traffic outside. Very clean. I only spent one night here. Will definitely be back. The hotel is across the street from the Quitumbe bus station. One could walk it, but for $1.00 I took a cab. The only negative item is they could have turned the water temperature up more. The shower was not warm.

We arrived at Quito 1AM from Atlanta, quickly passed through customs and was in a taxi 20 minutes later. Taxi flat rate to downtown ($40) -45 minutes at that hour. double that for rush hour. Did a Google maps translated into Spanish for directions to hotel; simply handed to taxi driver, worked great. Hotel staff night person very nice; spoke enough English to be helpful. Next day breakfast buffet- coffee, fruit, croissants,eggs very good; 7-9:30AM. Room on 3rd floor was very big ( double), kingsized bed, ensuite bath up a flight of stairs. Hotel and room looked like a personal museum (Indeed it is). Wood , & carvings everwhere.1 1/2 blocks to major street where taxis are plentiful; $2-3 to go to most plazas and other attractions in El Centro or New Town. Check out at 11:30AM; staff will let you stash luggage until a later flight. All in all, boutique experience at a very reasonable rate.

This worked out great for me on my visit to Quito. The staff members were helpful and considerate, The location is good, and near the crafts market. The eclectic decor added some warmth to the hotel.

I really like this hotel in Quito. I found the overall experience great considering that compared to other hotels in the area is cheap. I found the pool and garden areas amazing, Also i got a great view to the valley from my room. This hotel features a nice restaurant in the 7th floor with good food and a incredible 360° view of the surroindings. The staff was helpfull and kind. Overall a very good experience.

This is a nice quaint hotel with excellent friendly service. Though a little further from the airport than a lot shown on travel sites, the taxi ride was only $6 and the extra length if the ride (about 12 minutes from the airport) was well worth it. I will stay there again on my next overnight layover or if I visit Quito to stay for a few days.

We really enjoyed the hotel. It was very unique and beautiful. The staff went beyond duty to help us out. The continental breakfast was phenominal. It was a little out of the way but taxi rides are very inexpensive.

Very nice hotel located in an old house. Rooms are nice and the is a nice fire place in the leaving room for the guests

Andinos is an awesome hotel with the best staff I've ever seen. Most staff are bi-lingual and willing to help you out no matter what your needs are. Its close to a SuperMaxi and other stores. Their breakfast is made to order and fresh. Miguel, the owner, will go out of his way to help you, and will answer your emails very quickly (unlike the rest of Ecuador). We were flying into Quito from Miami and missed our flight because of the heat and our dog. Miguel had arranged for a van to pick us up at 7. It was so hot in Miami that our dog that was flying with us couldn't make the flight. We were rebooked for the 8 o'clock flight which meant landing and getting through customs well past midnight. I sent Miguel an email updating him on our situation, and sure enough the van for all our bags was waiting for us. After a stressful and long flight, it was good to know that Miguel and the staff at Andinos had our backs. We even learned some new Spanish words. Also while I was here, Miguel personally took someone who was ill to the hospital. Being this is our first time in Ecuador, I did not know what to expect. I was floored by this place and there sense of hospitality. WiFi was really fast here, and we were able to watch Netflix. Also, the staff was super friendly with our daughter. It was above and beyond anything you would see in America. This was an excellent place for our first time in Ecuador. (Reviewed by a family of 3 with a small dog.) A++++++++
