Sierra Vacations from $190

No bar as advertised. Advertised as gay friendly and nothing in the hotel or staff to suggest gay sensitivity. That said, the staff was pleasant and helpful and the property was immaculately clean. The complementary breakfast was delicious and an abundant amount of food.

Illa Experience Hotel is an absolutely beautiful property with both historic and modern elements. Our room (a second floor suite with views of the charming street) was incredibly spacious and well appointed. Indeed, the entire hotel was renovated with thoughtful details. The service was off the charts... seriously - the kindest, most helpful staff ever. They went out of their way to make our stay a pampered one - from accommodating a late check out to sourcing needed medicine in Quito. And the view from the second floor bar of the hills and the Angel of Quito was breathtaking. What a treat!

This hotel is a gem. Beautifully appointed throughout and the service is great. Breakfast is wonderful. Nicole made us feel at home and was always ready with help or advice. I we ever came back to Quito, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

Staff was very welcoming and had the best experience. Highly recommended.

This boutique hotel is fabulous! We are in the Room with a View and it is huge and spacious, with two large bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Each room is decorated cleverly and is squeaky clean. The refrigerator is filled with food for breakfast or snacking, all included in the price. Arriving late at night it was fantastic not to have to look for an open restaurant. Instead we ate yogurts and made cheese sandwiches with the very fresh loaf of bakery bread. The room is also quiet, although we are a short walk from the center of the Old City. The staff member on duty when we arrived, Joz, was incredibly friendly and helpful and explained how to use the coffee maker and stove (yes, you can make eggs for breakfast!) and how to operate the front door for exit and entry. He was very thorough and so kind and happy to have us staying in this incredible hotel. If you want a unique experience in an 18th century home that has been refitted into an incredible hotel, stay here!
