Ecuador Accommodation

This hotel is AMAZING! The location is right in the middle of new town next to Plaza Foch, but that is not what makes this hotel exceptional. The moment I walked into the hotel, I was surrounded by the subtle yet pleasant scent in the lobby and the common area. There are many hotels would spend the effort on decoration, yet few would invest in the "invisible" scent of the hotel (sure, huge lobby halls would make it difficult to do so and that is the charm of a boutique hotel) . The decoration is so exquisite - not posh, but exquisite - and they paid attention to all the details. Did I mention the sheets? Perfectly ironed and Westin's Heavenly Bed cannot compare it. Our suite for 4 has a separate bedroom for parents, kitchen, and a courtyard. If you go to the rooftop, you can see Teleferico from there. The owner is such a French gentleman and comes in every morning. He must be a perfectionist since he pays attention to EVERY details to make sure that your stay is an enjoyable one. The first morning when he saw me taking a couple Ecuadorian biscuits from the breakfast buffet, he insisted to heat it up for us first. The second morning since we had to catch an early flight, he made the breakfast ready an hour earlier than the regular schedule. The breakfast was home style at its best and surprisingly included healthy additions such as wheat germ and flaxseeds. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!

Stayed in hotel between plane flights from Quito airport. Arrived 1am, staff alert and helpful. Room was luxurious. Had to leave by 730am. Wish we had more time. This hotel is a winner.

This was my second visit to this hotel and I plan to use it on all returns to Quito. A word about the comfort rating of 4: by U.S. standards it was small with a tiny bathroom. But every thing sparkled and functioned just fine including the high shower head and plenty of hot water. Very good English is spoken by the desk staff.

We stayed overnight while in transit, but were disappointed not to be staying longer. We had to leave at 6am to catch our flight. As we had read they would, the friendly hotel staff offered and provided us with breakfast to go. Our room was spacious, clean, comfortable and wonder of wonders, had enough light! Little touches like USB-charging points near the bedside table and shoe-cleaning products being provided really made a difference, not to mention the complimentary welcome cocktails! The staff spoke excellent English and were all helpful and friendly. We ate an excellent and well-priced dinner in the hotel's restaurant, which had the advantage of allowing a view of the passing foot traffic.

I have stayed at this hotel at least 4 times. The staff is friendly and always willing to accommodate the guest's requests. Rooms are always clean and odor free. The bar may not be the most inviting, but the hotel is located at Mall del Sol which hast its own varied offering. Its proximity to the airport makes it a a great business hotel. I will continue to stay there as long as I continue to visit Guayaquil. Book it with confidence. You will not be dissapointed

Stayed there one night this is a very nice hotel and the staff was Great..

I loved this beautiful hotel. I've traveled a lot and Santa Lucia is one of the most beautiful places I've stayed. My room was gorgeous and the service I received was wonderful.

The hotel was very comfortable. The breakfast, which was included in the price, was very good, and the restaurant had a good menu. The location was great, as well. Even at night I felt comfortable walking alone from the main plaza to the hotel.
