We have been twice at La Rabida, my wife and I. The first time on holiday, in February, when we spent there 8 nights (interrupting twice our stay for flying visits to the coast and other sight-seeing tours in Ecuador. We have enormously enjoyed our stay at this small hotel, greatly appreciating its homely atmosphere : quiet and comfortable rooms,... more

Judy, Sergio and their staff made our family trip to Quito absolutely wonderful! Our group of 6 adults and 6 children was treated superbly during our stay at the lovely and well appointed Hostal de La Rabida. Our comfortable rooms were perfect for the couples and the groups of children. The dining room was delightful with a delectable array of... more

Apparently the Hostal La Rabida has fairly recently changed hands so that when I read the reviews before our trip maybe it was ok. We were very disappointed with our stay there-so much so that the local tour operator who was looking after us found us another hotel for the rest of our stay. The rooms were very small and... more

My family stayed at this hotel when they came to visit me while I was working in Ecuador. I couldn't meet them at the airport and I was nervous about their security while they were in Quito as none of them speak Spanish and they have only traveled in Europe. Rabida helped them book a car to pick them up... more

The rooms are very small and the water was not always hot. The noise from the car alarms was disturbing. The common areas are homey and adequate. Breakfast was average, and not included in the price, so beware. Also, If you ask for an extra bottle of water you are charged. The staff was very accomodating and helpful. more

I stayed here with a friend for a total of 5 nights, 3 nights while in Quito, 1 night between the Amazon and the Galapagos and 1 night before leaving for Peru. Every time the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They were even able to turn around my laundry in under 10 hours with no extra charge. The rooms... more

"OK" pretty much sums it up. There is very little wrong with this hotel from the courteous staff to the cosy living area and fire. Its in a good location 5 minutes walk from the centre of the Mariscal district. However, its not particularly special in any way. It reminds me of a dated English B & B. Rooms are... more

my husband and i stayed for one night. property was fine, room was ample, staff friendly and courteous. adjacent area known to be dangerous at time of visit in evenings so was advised not to roam at night. we had 2 twin beds pushed together to create a full/queen which was okay. saw that some others had a real queen... more

in a quiet street just a stone's throw from the Mariscal Sucre, Hostal de la Rabida was a friendly, comfortable base from which to explore Quito and the rest of Ecuador. We stayed there for 5 nights on arrival then on another 3 occasions when we returned to Quito from the Amazon, Banos and the Galapagas. Felt like home from... more
