Go Elsewhere We stayed in over 50 hotels and guesthouses over the past year. Ninfa rates last in our experiences. The staff is unfriendly to downright nasty, excluding the dining room staff, who are very nice. The rooms are moldy (we had 4 rooms, each of which suffered from mildew stench and visible mold). There is construction going on, so... More

Great location. Looks nice with courtyard, pool, pool table. Free breakfast daily and the food workers were very cordial. Check out your room beforehand. Smallest bathroom ever and felt like crackden. People were helpful though.

Was on a business trip in October 2012 and stayed in the newer portion of the hotel, which they called a suite. The nightly rate was about $ 135 + tax. The room was on the second floor, no elevator. It had rained slightly so the steps up were very wet and a little slippery. Had to carry my suitcase... More

The pool was nice and the food was extremely mediocre -- unless you are fond of small, moldy smelling rooms in the old section (where they automatically place you if you're with a tour) or love the smell of raid that accompanies the upgrade to the "suites" even though it is a much nicer room, you might want to stay...

We booked a 5-day tour in Quito and arrived here. The lodge (cheaper) option has a small bathroom and a basic room with AC and minibar. It's not too bad considering the whole 5 day tour (includes 4 breakfasts, 4 lunches, and 4 dinners) is $485 per person exclude air ticket. The local people only pay $ around 280 I... More

After our first night at an over priced, under air conditioned hotel, we stumbled upon Hotel Ninfa. The rate was much better, and it had a/c, a mini fridge, and hot water, with a decent sized, clean room. There is also a pool that is nicely underutilized, we had it to ourselves one afternoon. Our room was away from the... More

We were booked into this hotel by EC Travel, but the actual tour company was Ninfa Tours. It was dirt cheap, so I wasn't expecting a 5 star hotel. The location is right by the port, so very convenient for leaving for morning tours. Rooms are small, bathrooms are worn, but are cleaned well each day. There was no hot... More
