We are staying at the Rabida right now, we stayed here before a seven day trip to the Galapagos. They have been cheerful, kind and helpful. The rooms are clean, simple and cheerful. Gloria at the front desk was especially helpful when we arrived in Quito. Quito is like any big city, it can be scary at first, but common... More

La Rabida is located close to the busy Mariscal area with many restaurants and bars. But it is on a relatively quiet street. The staff is really helpful and friendly. We felt it was pretty expensive while we stayed in room 11, as this was a small downstairs room with very warped floors. We stayed again later in our trip... More

I can't think why this place gets such rave reviews. It's freezing cold, my room is TINY, the bed narrow and hard, and the water is tepid at best. Breakfast is very poor (the markets are full of wonderful tropical fruits), and everywhere you want to go a taxi has to be called as its not safe to walk. Yes,... More

We stayed for two nights, one before our Galapagos trip and one after. This hotel was very good value, nice inside and and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. It is not close to the airport, so if you are in and our of Quito like we were I would not stay here. Not sure about the surrounding area, all... More

We stayed at this well located hostel for several nights. The staff (especially Gloria & Carlos) were friendly & helpful. The rooms were clean & cosy - the garden rooms were quieter than on the street. Good value-would recommend! More

If I could give 3.5 stars I would, but I can't give 4 stars. We stayed here for three nights in order to explore Quito. We really enjoyed being centrally located and within walking distance to many of the attractions. Gloria was the most helpful and provided us with so much advice when she was around. However, during the times... More

We had a great stay at this hotel, is a simple place where it makes you feel at home. The people of Ecuador are very friendly and they always smile all the time. In fact, we had a good time. If the traveler looking for something quiet, nothing fancy but very typical of this country, this is the place I... More

We spent 6 nights at Hostal de la Rabida, before and after our trip to the Galapagos. It is a small B&B type hotel with very comfortable rooms with warm and friendly service. The rooms in the Main building are best, #2 has a nice patio. As others have mentioned, Gloria and the rest of the staff go out of... More
