Hostal Riviera Sucre

We loved the feel of this hotel. It is very quaint and had adorable common areas for relaxing outside of the rooms. I loved the decor, the fireplace, and the breakfast in the morning. The room and bathroom were spacious. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights as part of an organised tour. The communal areas are more of what you'd expect in a hostel, but the rooms were definitely more like a hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and most of them spoke good English. The wifi was pretty good in all areas. The communal areas were lovely, there was a courtyard in the middle and some enclosed gardens. It felt like a haven in the middle of the city. My room was a good size, there was an entrance way almost like a foyer, with the bedroom and bathroom coming off that. The bed was large and comfortable with lots of layers as it does get cold in Otavalo at night. I don't think the hotel had central heating, but there was a portable heater in my room. The bathroom was ok, the door was in an awkward position but it was workable. There was a shower but no bath tub, the hot water was mostly ok. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. There was tea and coffee, nice bread rolls with butter and jam, juice, and they asked you how you wanted your eggs (you could have fruit if you didn't want eggs). I got laundry done during my stay, it was cheap and done well. Overall a great stay, it's definitely not luxurious but very quaint and charming, has a good location in the city centre but still manages to be very quiet at night.

A lovely hotel with joyful, friendly, helpful and caring staff with green surroundings. It’s so nice to be in a garden in the middle of the city. You can also eat breakfast in the garden or on a terrace if you wish to do so. Paolina speaks very good English. The rest of the staff speak basic English and information is not always understood. Staff also know the area well and can advise you well on how to organize trips, how long it takes to climb mountains, etc. Breakfast is ok and will fill you up for the rest of the day. We didn’t like getting charged for extra eggs without any warning. Rooms are a bit old but this goes with the style. Very pretty environment. Lovely inner courtyard with some swings. Common room with games and fridge. Water dispenser in main hall.

From the street outside you are looking at a slightly boutique old building. The frontage is older original as are some rooms in the main building and the common areas, then the more modern extension in the garden becomes apparent. Our room in the garden area was large and clean with a pleasant outlook, nice outside seating area and equipped with all the usual resources and heater if required and good WiFi. Parking on the road outside is OK although they prefer you to use their secure locked compound 400m away. Breakfast was fruit juice, bread, butter and jam, eggs to choice, a fruit bowl with yoghurt with tea or coffee. Enough of a choice to start the day. With very nice helpful family staff it is a good choice for Otavalo being just five minutes walk from the market with decent restaurants nearby.

We had the room 20 which has it's own private terrasse with a view on the C volcano (it was very cloudy so we did not see it entirely but still...). We were very impressed with this. The room was very clean and warm and the bed was extremely comfortable. Fredy was very accomodating also and agreed to keep our luggage for the day after the checkout since we left for the airport at n=ight around 7 pm. We could also use a shower just before leaving at night, which was a nice touch. The staff (2 young men) and Freddy were all very nice and made us feel at ease. You can't go wrong with this hotel. It was recommended to us by our driver and we would come back for sure. The shower in our room functionned awckwadrly and we lacked hot water for a couple of minutes each time but overall not a big deal. Also there was not fruits served for breakfast which was a bit disapointing but the fresh juice was excellent so again, not a big deal.

Un super joli petit hôtel fait de charmantes chambres autour d’un très joli jardin. Personnel très aimable et très bon petit déjeuner. Très bien situé avec quelques fois la visite de petits colibris le matin Idéal pour visiter les environs

Sehr nettes, grünes Hostel, zentral gelegen. Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam, das Frühstück liebevoll zubereitet. Zimmer sauber und geräumig, schönes Badezimmer Schöner Innenhof zum verweilen. Jederzeit wieder!!!

¡Recomendadísimo! Para mi Riviera Sucre es el alojamiento perfecto para visitar Otavalo y adentrarte en la cultura de la ciudad. Es de tradición familiar y te van a tratar como en casa, personal muy amable, desayuno rico, patios preciosos, sala de juegos y hasta cocina a tu disposición. Es como un museo, entre su estilo colonial de hace 150 años, obras de arte de artistas de la región y sus patios llenos de flores, donde algún colibrí se deja ver cada mañana. Nos encantó como trabajan por ser respetuosos con el medio ambiente, agua potable a tu disposición, una botella de cristal con agua en tu mesilla de noche… muchos detalles que claramente marcan la diferencia! Respecto a la zona está genial, a unas 4 cuadras del mercado de los ponchos y unos 10min andando hacia la terminal terrestre donde coger buses para visitar los alrededores como la laguna Cuicocha o la cascada Peguche. Si te da pereza caminar o vas con gente que le cueste por la misma calle pasan buses hacia la estación.

De kamer was ruim en had uitzicht op de straat. Ondanks dat de straat redelijk druk was stoorde het ons niet tijdens de nachtrust. De douche was warm, alleen de bedden waren iets aan de harde kant. Ik mistte alleen nog een kluis en een prullenbak. Freddy heeft ons goed geholpen en dat zelfs in het Nederlands!
