“Good comfort and value in Riobamba”
Comfortable, centrally located hotel in Riobamba within walking distance of the main markets and train station (though as of early 2026 there are no trains running though there is a very good artisan market set up in it), comfortable beds and hot water. Staff were especially helpful, assisting us with getting a taxi/guide to Chimborazo and proactively offering us the choice between a street-facing room with a better view (but more street noise) or a quiet interior room (but lacking the mountain view). That was an especially appreciated and thoughtful touch.

Very friendly and helpful staff, we felt very welcome from check in. The rooms are very comfortable and we had a room with a wonderful view of Chimborazo. As others have said there is some noise from the road but nothing at all that disturbed our sleep. There are some very nice common areas for guests to spend time in. And we were told that we were welcome to make use of the kitchen. It is in a good location next to the historical centre. There is also a market 2 minutes away where you can buy traditional Ecuadorian plates for very good prices.

Great location. we chose the room with a window so it was noisy from the street but it was worth it because we had a super view of the volcano!

“A lovely place for a short trip in Riobamba”
Nothing to say negatively about this place. We’ve been staying in many hostels/hotels over the last 4 weeks in Ecuador and this was one of the best for the budget traveller. The staff were so friendly and kind, breakfast tasty, and the bedroom was clean and fresh. Bonus of Netflix too! Thank you
