Hotel Lef — Hotel in Mariscal Sucre

Hotel LEF is wonderful -- the staff, the service, the rooms, the cleanliness, the location, the breakfast. Although we often needed to converse with owner/manager Luis via translation apps, we felt like we were visiting our favourite relations.||||The rooms are a decent size, and beds comfortable. Shower always hot. There are sitting areas and also a outdoor patio to sit, although it is over the street and therefore noisy.

All the people working there were extremely accommodating. There is a little sitting area on the second level with chairs and plants to chill. I...

This hotel is right across the very charming artisan market as well as being close to many restaurants and bars. The hotel is family run by a husband and wife team. Rebecca and Luis went above and beyond to make our stay extremely pleasant. The hotel is newly renovated spotlessly clean, very good excess to hot water and the room was not only very clean it was very functional. Included in the nightly rate is a breakfast with fresh bread or croissants, cheese, ham, scrambled eggs and fruits. To drink there was always two choices of fresh juice, coffee and tea. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to be in the middle of old Quito and the...
