Loved being in the Cotopaxi National Parque. This place is rustic,comfortable. We had a small wood stove in our room which was lit each night by staff. The dining area serves delicious food for great prices. We had filet mignon for 15$ each. Again, coffee is not great, but it does the job. We took a 2 hour guided horse ride with a local fellow, it was wonderful to go out and see nature. Views of Cotopaxi were spectacular, the weather was great. Staff speaks english well enough to understand each other.

Right inside Cotopaxi National Park…. The heat in your room is wood burning stove. They will get the fire going for you. I think the electricity goes off at 10:00 pm. Volcano warning siren just outside compound. The restaurant is awesome. They have coca tea to help with altitude.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
El hotel cuenta con una buena ubicación y, en general, mi estadía fue agradable. Sin embargo, hubo dos situaciones que afectaron mi experiencia. Primero, tuve que pagar un 25% adicional en impuestos, un cargo que considero excesivo y que debería informarse claramente al momento de reservar. Segundo, en el restaurante solicité unas rodajas de limón para acompañar mi agua mineral y, para mi sorpresa, me cobraron USD 2.50 como si hubiera pedido una limonada. Me pareció un cobro totalmente desproporcionado. Aunque el hotel tiene aspectos positivos, este tipo de prácticas dejan una mala impresión. Recomendaría mejorar la transparencia en los cobros y la atención al cliente.

La experiencia en Tambopaxi fue muy buena. La única sugerencia es que los meseros deben estar siempre atentos cuando hay comensales en el restaurante, pues durante nuestro almuerzo, nos dejaron totalmente solos a 3 mesas, mientras los meseros almorzaban todos juntos, lo que nos obligó a levantarnos para buscarlos en la cocina.
