We loved our stay at the La Posada del Quinde and will be there again when we return in the future. Great staff, always sweet and helpful. Susy is a terrific manager and owner Maggie is, of course, amazing. The included breakfast was very nice each day as was the dinner we had in their lovely and homey restaurant with... More

I lived and worked in the communities outside of Otavalo, Ecuador for nine months as an intern for a small non profit. Sometimes, when I couldn't take one more meal of potatoes, or one more day with a bucket shower, I would splurge and get a room in La Posada del Quinde. This was a big deal for me, I... More

Stayed here as part of a lengthy trip around Ecuador. Great service, Good food and lots of hummingbirds. Good city north of Quito. Run by an expat and had a great lecture about the country. Not too crowded and very much like a ranch atmosphere.

Henry from Posada del Quinde met us promptly at Quito and drove us for two hours in a new minivan to Otavalo. The ride should be shorter when the road construction for the new airport is completed. Rooms are very comfortable and nicely furnished, with the exception of large windows that let light into the room early. There is a... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The staff are lovely, and very helpful. The food in the restaurant is the best we had in otovalo. It equaled any that we had on our month long trip in Equador/Peru. One night we even had live music. The location is on a quiet street, close to the market but away from the... More

What a find! Our driver located this Hostal and what a surprise awaited us behind a stucco wall with a plain wooden door. We were greeted and welcomed into this little paradise. The reception area opened up into a dining room, sitting area, bar and entry into a courtyard that was home to a very elusive long tailed hummingbird. Our... More

My daughter and I booked a one night stay and then were unable to travel because she became ill. They had the ability to extend our stay an extra night, good business right?!
