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 needed a lot of information on this leg of the trip and couldn't have asked for better service! The rooms were spacious with plenty of hot water. A little far from the center, but getting to the center is easy. Reasonably priced and I felt safe.

Stayed at Hotel Los Alpes the 1st week of July, 2014, for 6 nights, in a room for a single. A for location - a 5 minute walk to Parque El Ejido and La Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana. About an 8 minute walk to the Hilton Colon, where I picked up my tours. A for quiet - even with such a great location in the Mariscal Sucre, the streets around the hotel were quiet A for competence - all the little things were done right. The room was properly cleaned daily, the bill was correct, the daily breakfast was on time and served well, and my request for a taxi for departure very early in the morning with a reputable taxi company was arranged. A for friendly - always greeted when I arrived and returned to the hotel, always wished a good day when I departed.

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.

The staff were really helpful. My only problem was that there was no hot water for my shower that night. Think glacial melt cold water! I don't know whether it's available and I didn't get it right, or if there is only cold water available. It got cold in a hurry at night, and to my delight, the blankets were high quality wool. The bed was very comfortable and I slept really well.

Great hotel in a prime location at a reasonable rate.

Quiet and safe in a central part of Quito. Very clean. There are 6 nice rooms going straight onto a secluded and peaceful garden.

Hands down this hotel is right up there. A true 5 star hotel. On par with some of the nicer hotels I am used to in Vegas like the Wynn and Venetian. Rooms are just as pictured. Beautiful amenities. Fresh flowers in the room and outside the room. A great buffet with made to order omelettes and fresh fruit. Staff is so friendly and speak English fluently. In the lobby there is always fresh deserts, bite sized free foods, coffee, and multiple flavors of daily made teas with infused fruit. Daily chocolates placed on your bed for turn over service. Cable TV with HBO Shotime tons of movie channels and English options. Safe. Desk you name it The showers are huge walk in style. Huge beds. Huge living room sofa area....I just cant say enough.

It's amazing what you get for this price: very friendly staff, clean rooms, hot (really hot!) water, fast Wi-Fi, very nice breakfast, nice location in a quiet place close to Radisson and Swiss Hotel :) I would definitely recommend this hotel! It's worth even more than it costs :)
