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.

Verified review

6/10 Good

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.

El lugar, la amabilidad de las chicas, la muy buena predisposición para resolver nuestras inquietudes y el desayuno de 10. Si bien está alejado del centro histórico al tener un vehículo la distancia no fue un problema.
