Bed really comfortable, restaurant under staffed and under stocked. No desserts available at dinner at all. Had to eat in the bar as they had a group of 150 booked into the restaurant for lunch the next day.
Bar tender was very friendly and attentive. Had to wait 10 minutes for receptionist to arrive so I could check out.

The hotel is quite dated. Staff did not appear to be very friendly. All business. Food options limited and not restocked well for breakfast. Lack of air flow through the hotel meant that there was a stench, some kind of unpleasant odor when we got off the elevator, on to our floor. The only window that opens in the room was stuck behind a heavy immovable curtain, which did not allow for good air flow. No fridge and not many options for ice if you want cold drinks or food in your room. Canceled all 9 rooms and moved our group to a different hotel after the first night. This hotel is also not in a great location. It is heavily fortified, locked up at night.

Breakfast buffet had different options which was good. When I asked for jam for the bread I was told it was finished, by the solo female waitress. I asked butter instead, but she said they don't have any. 2 minutes later she produced a small amount of both. Hotel was well decorated for Christmas season. 3 male staff I encountered were polite. 3 female staff all appeared to have lost the will to work. Bed was very comfortable. Shower flooded all over the bathroom floor. You could hear nearby nighttime disco music until the early hours of the morning. I was only there one night

The staff was wonderful - personal and attentive, but the room was tired and had no AC or fan. The light-blocking blinds were broken. I didn't feel 100% safe in the neighborhood. I chose this place for the affordable price but would spend more for a better place next time.

We arrived late at night, actually it was more like early morning. Rio Amazonas is one of the few hotels that will let you check in that late. Check in was swift and we got a broom with a magnificent view over the city and Cotopaxi. The room was clean, the beds comfortable and the bathroom brand new and beautiful. Breakfast is fabulous and the staff is very friendly. Not sure about the neighborhood yet, but it looks fine.

The worst hotel I have EVER stayed in anywhere! The staff was rude & argumentative. The night we arrived we were told that the room we booked was not available so they put us in a small room with absolutely no view. When we complained all of a sudden the large room with the view of the city & the mountains suddenly was available. Every day one or both of our key cards did not work & had to be programed when we complained we were told than one one had a problem before. One day we left early in the morning only to return in the afternoon to discover that housekeeping had not made up our room we complained about that & they said they would send up housekeeping later we saw the woman from housekeeping & she said she had too many rooms & ours was the last on the floor so she didn't have time to clean it. Twice we were not able to open the safe box in the room, the first time they sent up a technician the second time was the night before we were leaving early,they refused to have the manager come in & open it so we could get out passports, cash, jewelry etc. I had to make a huge fuss for the manager to come in. AND the day before we left we were sitting in the room when this big rope dropped down in front of the window and suddenly this man lowered down right in front up started just hanging there took out his phone & started taking photos!! They admitted he did it but you couldn't see anything. I want my money returned. It was horrible. They were very nasty don't stay here!!!!!!!

I stayed at the Rio Amazonas for six nights. The front desk staff were very friendly and spoke excellent English. The building, rooms, and furniture seemed somewhat old but well-maintained. My room was clean and bed was comfortable. Wifi was fast and allowed for streaming. Great location that was close to several main bus stops, close to many bars and restaurants, and even close to the pick-up point for my day drips. However it could be very loud, sometimes until 2 or 3 am on a weeknight, so if you are sensitive to noise I recommend ear plugs. I did not try the bar/restaurant in the hotel.

Great Stay at the Rio Amazonas Hotel

Our stay was short, but it was great! This was my first stay at an Ecuadorian Hotel, so my American standards were being tested. The only thing the room lacked was an A/C control. The hotel did regulate that so we were comfortable though. The food at the hotel restaurant was terrific! I don't have a sophisticated palate, so I was a little apprehensive. I was very pleased with my meal, I ordered Penir de Polvo (Turkey) and it was fantastic. We ordered drinks, they used plenty of alcohol and desserts to top off. An appetizer, 4 drinks, two main courses and desserts for two for $72. Would definitely stay here again. The reception desk spoke pretty good english, that wasn't 100% necessary but it was a nice touch :)

Great hotel, amazing breakfast!

Our only complaint is the noise from the street BUT it is better than the other hotel we stayed at! The view from our room, both times we stayed, was spectacular. On our 2nd stay at the hotel, we had a room with a view of Cotopaxi. Breathtaking. The breakfast there is AMAZING. Eggs as you wish and a full and complete buffet. They also serve breakfast as of 5am, which was great when we had to leave in the early morning for our activities. The location is central, but do bring ear plugs. We slept well but the noise could be a distraction to some. However, I must say that we stayed in another hotel not even 2 blocks away and Rio Amazonas was MUCH quieter in comparison! Love the fresh flowers in the lobby. Overall a very nice home away from home. I would stay there again!

Budget option in the heart of Quito

In the heart of the nightlife district, if you want to have a good night of sleep this is not the place. This place is more for fun. The location is unbeatable for both fun and biz. The windows though, are not completely isolated and you can hear people having fun and partying in the streets from the 6th floor... Not a bad place, just not recommended without earplugs. The breakfast was very good, with local food mainly but thinking on any palate. The restaurant has a very nice decor. The staff is friendly, check in was a breeze.

Clean, Comfortable and Reasonably Priced

Hotel Rio Amazonas is a mid-sized, modern hotel that is a 40 minute walk to the old town. The hotel is relatively new, however, after staying there a couple days, we realized that there was not a thermostat or any vents in the room. That said, the temperatures in Quito are very moderate, and may be the only city in the world where buildings do not need central heat or a/c. We spent six nights at Rio Amazonas and did not miss central heat or a/c, as the window could be opened, as needed. All in all, we would stay there again as the room was modern and very clean with great wifi service.

This hotel is walking distance to the main square with many restaurants and good nightlife, but also far enough away that it is not too noisy. We felt very safe walking in the area. It was very busy on a Friday evening with lots of people out and about.

Prepare for Surprises

I chose this hotel because I love the location on the edge of the Foch Plaza area. It is centrally located to so many excellent spots if you want to come to Quito for business or pleasure. That said, this visit was a comedy of errors, unlike anything I have experienced in my 40+ years as a businessperson : first the receptionist showed no evidence of my having paid in full in advance through Hotels.com -- none; next, when I went to my hotel room, the bed was unmade and there were other people's stuff there. This meant that that I was given the digital key to somebody else's room. Now, there's a first . . . Then when I DID get a room that wasn't occupied by somebody else, I find out (like another review notes) that there is only one accessible electrical outlet. No problem. I rested on the floor while I answered my business email. I went to use the in-room hotel safe, and although I have used these hundreds of times before, I couldn't get this one to work.

The next morning, I went to breakfast to find a buffet that is actually quite good, except that because I didn't get there early (call it my fault), so there wasn't much to eat. Then upon check-out, I find out that the handful of snacks I had came to $26, which was disproportionate to what I took. (So know the cost of these snacks before you \"partake.\")

I still think it's a great place. I DO, however, think that you should prepare for some unexpected surprises when you do.

Convenient and comfortable

My boyfriend and I were traveling for pleasure and this was our last stop before returning back to the United States. It is beautiful but many of the staff do not speak English. I do. However, my boyfriend does not. He ordered a bottle of wine for room service and it took a few hours because the staff could not understand the room number when he said it. Also, he asked for a wake up call and even though the staff member repeated it back to him in English, we never received a wake up call. But you don't want to miss out on this beautiful hotel. So, make sure you have a translation book with you so that this does not happen to you. And make sure you have another alarm clock. The view was fantastic! The room was very comfortable. The restaurants within the hotel were fantastic as well. It was very convenient to everyplace. I actually enjoyed shopping which I usually don't!

I had a room reservation with refrigerator. I was given a room without a refrigerator. I had to show them the reservation and was told that I had to wait two hours ( in the room) for the room to be ready and was then shown another room without a refrigerator.

extremely noisey and hot, impossible to sleep.

I stayed at the Rio for a couple nights, I really should've left sooner.

The room has no air conditioning and heats up very quickly. The room got so hot that it was hard to sleep. Pillows are pretty uncomfortable.

The worst problem though is the noise. The hotel rooms are NOT well insulated. Expect to hear car horns, car alarms all day and night. By far the worst part of the noise are the clubs which play a very very loud strong bass for HOURS on end. Think something like noon to 3am. The clubs are loud with the windows closed. If you open the windows to try to cool down the room it's earsplitting.

I would highly recommend that anyone that likes sleep avoid the hotel at all costs.

My only suggestion would be to have a few more electric outlets installed in the bedroom, the only one I could find was in the bathroom.

Apart from this minor issue, I am planning to stay in this hotel in any future visit to Quito.

Stay at Hotel Rio Amazonas

The trip was wonderful, but the accommodations could have been better. To begin, the hotel rooms did not resemble what was shown on the website. The first assigned room didn't even have outlets, unless you were in the bathroom. The only chair in the room is at the desk, so if you want to sit, you will be very uncomfortable. If you are from the States, you are accustomed to having a small coffee pot in your room. Not here. Expect to go to the lobby or to the attached restaurant.

Another adjustment was not having air conditioning or even a fan. If you leave your window open at night to catch a breeze, expect to here noises from all the VERY close bars & clubs as the hotel is right in the middle of them in Quito.

I cannot speak to all the rooms, but the shower head in ours sprayed everywhere! The ceiling was always completely covered, the floor completely wet - not where you expect the water to go. At least there was a drain in the middle of the floor.

The rooms were kept exceptionally clean, but the way they made the beds some days was like you were getting short-sheeted. They tried to use queen sheets on a king bed and had to put them on sideways?!?!??!

There was no consistency in whether they would replace the shampoo/conditioner/lotion and water supplied by the hotel. Some days it was there others it was not.

Finally, make sure your clothes are ironed in advance. None are provided in the rooms, butr you can always request one.

Very good hotel with a reasonable price. They seem to be delayed getting the reservation confirmation from Hotels.com. Actually all the hotels I made reservations with in Ecuador seem to have a problem connecting with hotels.com. Since I was moving around, I ran in to this problem often. So every time I had to call Hotels.com directly and sit there for quite a while, while they called the hotel and re-fax or re-email the confirmation.

Nice place to stay if you want to see the sights.

Close to a stop for the red bus. Close to night life and restaurants. But it was super loud at night. Be prepared for loud music, car alarms, crowd noise etc.

Good location/Noisy & dated.

Great location. I guess that's what you're paying for. Nice and clean and comfortable, but very dated furnishings. The disco nearby kept us up VERY late. We asked for a 5:45 wakeup call. They called at 4:45!

Good hotel in Quito

Hotel was nice, clean, and in central Quito. Staff didn't seem to know much about the area or suggestions on places to eat, visit, etc. We ended up finding a travel agency on our own and took a tour to the Equator line.

The personnel was estremely helpful, maid service a little inconsiderate, noise level inside the hotel was horrible on Friday and Saturday until way past the proper and acceptable time.

The hotel was nice

The hotel was in the downtown area. It was clean and the staff was very helpful. I would stay there again.
