Receptionist was friendly when we arrived. Room was reasonably clean, but small with old furnitures and needing a renovation. No outlets available unless unplugging the TV/Cable. Small washroom has no towel hangers and no soap/shampoo support in the shower. Restaurant food was good, but service totally inefficient. We've been waiting 20 minutes to ask for a coffee/desert, while the waitress was chatting in the kitchen... She brought the coffee and didn't even remove our plates... For the price paid, this hotel is FAR below expectations. Not recommended unless you have no other better options.

Satisfied with the visit

Good stay in Riobamba, parking was available and breakfast OK! Room nice with useful minibar options available for purchase.

The reception charged me mistakenly at first as I had already paid online, but they caught their error already even before I did, and promptly fixed it.

Simpático mas bem caro para o que é

O quarto de casal era grande. O banheiro pequeno. A cortina tipo \"blinder\" era menor que a janela, logo a luz do sol entrou no quarto bem cedo. Café da manhã: um pão, 1/2 fatia de queijo, 1/2 fatia de presunto, um pouquinho de frutas picadas, 2 ovos. Ah! Água ou leite quente para café solúvel ou chá. Beeeem básico.
Outro detalhe: a cidade é bem fria de noite e não há calefaçao. Na cama há muitos cobertores.

Casi recomendable

Casi aceptable, primera noche se pudo dormir, al siguiente día se tardaron demasiado en el desayuno sirviendo cada cosa cada 10 o 15 min, segunda noche nadie de mi familia pudo casi dormir por una alarma de algún vehiculo que sonó toda la noche y un grupo de borrachos hicieron ruido desde las 4;00 am en el parqueadero, desayuno no tuvimos porque nadie se acerco a nuestra mesa después de estar media hora sentados, ni siquiera recogieron los platos de las personas que desayunaron antes que nosotros y optamos por desayunar fuera.
