Hostal Curiñan, hotel in Otavalo

Offering a restaurant, Hostal Curiñan is located in Otavalo. The property features volleyball courts and free WiFi access. Each room here will provide you with a balcony, a patio and a terrace.

Beautiful place to stay, great views of the town, stunning sunsets, friendly fluff friends (including a really cuddly and chatty cat). Our room was really spacious, beds comfy, and lots of blanket to keep us warm. The town is 15 min walk, or less down, maybe more up. The owners are really friendly and help us out a lot (planning and organizing some side trip, deopping us off in town when we had bank issues, ect). Breakfast was good and filling with warm bread, jam, eggs, fresh juice, tea, coffee, chocolate.

Refugio Terra Esperanza, hotel in Otavalo

This colourful hostel offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and shared bathrooms in Esperanza town, only 100 metres from Santa Maria de la Esperanza church. Horse riding and trekking trips can be booked.

Best hostel if you want to climb Imbabura with personally the best owner I have met in Ecuador, Emerson. He is really interested to get to know you and help you with anything you need, also works as a guide for the Imbabura at a reasonable price. We even did a calesthenics workout together and his two dogs are super friendly and cute, can really recommend 10/10. Also a great kitchen and a beautiful view in the outside area :)

    We had an excellent stay at La Casa de Hacienda as our hosts Natalie and Eduardo were always available and giving recommendations as well as organizing our trips with a local secure taxi to the local sights (Parque del Condor, Laguna de Cuicocha and Otaval market were the highlights). Conveniently located in a very calm place off the Panamericana, a 3usd ride from the city center. The breakfast was very good and the views around the Hacienda are amazing! Great place to relax.

    The host, Natalie, was smiling and responsive. She welcomed us after midnight, but she was kind and accommodated us in cozy and authentic rooms for the area. In the morning she served us a hot and delicious breakfast, coffee, tea and fresh fruit juice. We know that this business is a new venture for the family. We wish them to find the strength and finances soon to modernize the bathrooms.

    Lovely place, lovely hosts. Eduardo and Nathalie are really friendly and helpful. The cabaña was very nice, clean. The whole place is beautiful, in a quiet environment a little bit outside of Otavalo but not too far. The kids loved the homemade Zipline! And we even got to hear our hosts sing beautiful songs from different countries of Latin America on Saturday night. Breakfast with fresh fruit juice and delicious hot cocoa.

    Wonderful hostel! Owned and managed by a delightful indigenous family who took the time to tell us about local life. Quiet location a bit outside of town, but within easy walking distance, even with kids. Felt very safe and had secure parking. Nice views of the valley and volcanoes. We would definitely stay there again!

    Stunning guesthouse in great location, a couple of blocks from the market. Despite the central location the guesthouse is extremely quiet, with no street noise. The room was huge and the beds were extremely comfortable- we had the best sleep we’ve had in a long time! The architecture is gorgeous, the photos just don’t do it justice! The guesthouse has everything you need for a comfortable short or longer term stay, including a well equipped kitchen if you would like to do some cooking. The host was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

    Such a new, great hostel- the room, bathroom and kitchen were exceptional. I also loved the design. I needs a bit of time to walk to the city center, but that's okay. However, the bus terminal is near.

    This guesthouse was fantastic. The best place we've stayed in Ecuador so far. The room was ridiculously large, with three double beds, a sitting area, and a good bathroom with a nice hot shower. The shared kitchen had everything you need, there are a couple of common sitting areas, plus a rooftop with a small but lovely sitting area. View of the volcano from the roof. There is also a clothes washing machine available. Alberto was a great host and had tons of information about the area. Fantastic value.
