Posada Tambuca — Hotel in Mariscal Sucre

Although they have many good reviews, we had a very disappointing stay in this hostal. The owner and his son were pleasant. The rooms are very dark and the double room with en-suite we stayed had clothing left behind, other peoples toiletries, you can hear everything, there’s no privacy at all. Aside from this the female owner, was EXTREMELY RUDE to us in the morning whilst serving breakfast, I don’t know if she didn’t like us? But she threw the bread at us, wouldn’t make boiled eggs as it takes too long, her whole demeanour was awful. I have stayed in many other hostals in Quito, paying less, a little further out, much better presentation and better service. Don’t be fooled by reviews. I would not recommend...

My whole family stayed with Carlos, Yolanda, and Carlitos and we all had a wonderful time! They really took care of us and made us feel like family. They arranged airport pickup and drop off which made the whole process of getting to/from the Posada much easier (the Quito airport is about 40min outside of the city). Yolanda also made delicious breakfasts with eggs, freshly squeezed juice, coffee, fruit salad, and fresh baked goods. We couldn't have been made more welcome, they are really an incredible family! We feel so lucky to have found them and had the opportunity to stay at Posada Tambuca. Side note - a great location to walk to all the interesting spots in the city as well as hop up on the bus...

I recently spent 3 weeks here and I couldn’t be happier. The “hosts” are the best people you could ever meet: welcoming, thoughtful, kind, efficient and fun. My room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The location is great, on a quiet street and not too far from everything; easily accessed by foot, bus and trolley (buses and trolleys are one block away). |The wifi worked perfectly and the breakfasts were the best with freshly made juices, fresh fruits, fresh breads, good coffee and granola and eggs. |It’s an amazing value in every way. |FYI, If TV is your thing you won’t...
