The staff was excellent; the food spectacular (the chef used to work at the Hilton), they upgraded our room with no additional cost. The receptionist/waitress was very informative. The room was spotless and was cosy with nice lighting, a fireplace and electric heating. There is a lovely hike up to the top of the mountain, too. The whole place is very clean and organized with both indoor and outdoor thermal pools. Great for couples and families alike.

This is a very loud hostería. Rooms face a thermal pool, which in principle seems a great idea, until you go into your room and try to have some quite time or want to sleep. It is imposible to scape of the constant loud music. Very annoying.

The hotel is in a beautiful location and has 6 hot spring pools on site that are very enjoyable. The room was very large, with comfortable beds. The room and hotel areas (like restaurant) were very cold! Even though there was a fireplace in the room it was small and didn’t provide heat throughout our time there. The guests have to wear heavy coats in the dining room. Bring a bathrobe to wear from the room to the pools… it’s very cold. They don’t have a concierge to provide information about local tours and if you don’t speak Spanish it is difficult to get around.

Excellent fireplace. Beds are amazing. Can have your own tub but you must arrange it. Hot springs are basically from morning to night. You can literally have it all to yourself. Plus, you can dip yourself in cold water then walk to hot water to immerse yourself. Food are first class and everything is affordable though don’t expect mixed drinks. If there is a hitch, they don’t open until 7:55-8:30 am in the morning. That is the problem because they don’t unlock the gate during those time and you need to take a taxi or a trip back to the airport. Oh. They do have their hiking trail but don’t walk on it when it is very muddy. It is an excellent alternative to much more expensive resort especially if you are on a budget

There was a 60 USD difference between a double room at Termas Papallacta and this one, but the places cannot be compared. While the service was polite, the food really good and the place clean and in working condition, Termas Papallacta are just *gorgeous*. This place is not. But it can be a good substitute if, like us, want to spend the night in the area and there is no availability in the Termas. Safe walk (1km or a $2 cabs ride) to the Termas.

The welcoming was kind of chaotic. They just took us to the room and did not explain how the place works. We came back again to ask. There are 4 pools (1 cold and 3 warm pools). The cabins are located around one pool. Since there is music playing and people talking, the cabins are quite loud.

The room had bugs when we arrived. 2 bumblebees & dozens of moths & flies we had to deal with. The door was not sealed & there was a 1/2 in gap all around where things could get in. Service was extremely slow - we waited over an hour after ordering (at 4pm, only 2 other people there) & although food was very good, it was not worth the wait. If I could do it all over, I’d order things 1.5hrs before I wanted them - food, drinks, pillows, towels, fire turned on, water turned on - everything. I would not stay here again

Only one towl per person which you use for the baths and the shower and in the room is no hock where you can hang them to dry. Also no towl for the face, so better to bring own ones. The shower doesn't get really warm. The staff is only one person speaking English, the others try not to be seen by you. Nobody shows you the baths and everyone gives you a different closing time. Sad that they can't tell anything about the area and send you to a information station.

Es ist schön, warme Pools direkt am Hotel zu haben. Aber: Das gebuchte Zimmer hatte den Charakter einer Höhle. Wir haben ein Upgrade gekauft. Sehr unüberlegt designte Suite. Eiskalter Fußboden, keine Ablagemöglichkeit ( wir baten um Kleiderbügel für die Kleiderstange ... man beachte uns 2) -aber völlig überflüssiger Whirlpool. Und die Dusche wurde nicht warm. Wir hatten ausdrücklich (!) um Zimmerreinigung gebeten. Nichts war passiert bis zum Abend. Habe man vergessen ... dann nachgeholt. Frühstück ab 8:30h ist spät, finde ich. Am Abreisetag baten wir um Lunchboxes: Wir erhielten Wasser, süßen Tee, und 4 kleine Schokoriegel. Ist das eine ernsthafte Lunchbox?? Ich hatte eine formale Rechnung erbeten. Man schicke sie mir per Email. Üblich in Ecuador. Aber ich habe sie bis heute nicht erhalten. Keine Gäste-Orientierung. Schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Fazit, leider: Dieses Hotel besser meiden. Es gibt zahlreiche bessere Alternativen!!
