Relax and recharge

Hosteria Papagayo was a lovely place for us to rest and relax after hiking Quilatoa and Cotopaxi. We enjoyed exploring the farm - free ranging chickens, ducks, cow etc - with our 2 year old son. The room was nicely furnished and the breakfast was good. Wifi was good and water pressure/temperature was good. The hotel staff also kindly accommodated our food requests. Some negatives: There was not much else to do on the property or in the surrounding area. It was expensive to get transportation in and out of the property. Laundry was expensive as well. The playground was not really usable (dirty, and the slides and seesaw were just way to steep for anyone to use) - a minor detail for anyone with kids. We also had a slight concern with the way the property handled guests' private information and hope that they had taken appropriate measures after we alerted them of it. Overall, it was a lovely place to stay for us to rest and recharge before we proceeded on for the rest of our trip and we were appreciative of the staff accommodating our various special requests. The room rates were considerably lower than other similar "farm"/resort properties in the area, which perhaps compensated for the more expensive incidental costs. Probably more suited for guests who have their own transportation to travel around the area.

Pros: Nice room, very close to Cotopaxi, animals (geese, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, lama) on site. Nice staff. Cons: the heater was too loud, not that easy to find (there is a turn from the highway that can be easily missed).

Great place to stay if you visit the Cotopaxi Zone

It was a great experience overall. We wanted a place near the Cotopaxi volcano and this was a great choice. The property is beautiful and you can do several things onsite. Would definitely recommend if you want a quiet retreat or a place to rest after hiking the volcanoes.

nice hotel, far away from anything

nice hotel with separate little houses as bedroom, a hot tub, an impala and different ways to entertain you. As the next place to eat somthing is far out, you are forced to eat somting in the restaurant, which is a little bit expensive.

Nice stay

We only stayed one night because our itinerary did not allow for more. Nonetheless we were very happy with the accommodation. The room was cozy, the food in the restaurant very tasteful and the staff nice and helpful. The only downside was the argument at check in, I had to prove the price of my booking already included taxes because the receptionist wanted to charge another 12% on top of the amount that already included VAT.

Historic hacienda with new cabins

Although we missed the exit the first time and had to make a couple u-turns, when we finally reached Papagayo we loved it. It is quiet, tucked away on a nice property, and has great service. The main building is historic and cozy, but the cabin was new, clean, comfortable, and beautiful. Dinner was delicious.

Small hotel to get away from the city

Hostería Papagayo is nice, quiet, and small hotel. It is close to Quito, 45 minute drive. Good for a short stay (1 night), not more than that since there is not much to do nearby.

Nice hostel

We stayed one night after Volcan Cotopaxi visit. It has country setting which makes morning stroll enjoyable. It is though on a private road which is a little walk with luggage on foot. Wooden floor In the hallway is sqeaky. Room is roomy, bed is comfortable with plug in heater for use. Dining room has a nice setting. Food is somewhat pricey. Quality of food served has room for improvement!

The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed a special New Years Eve dinner with fireworks and they shared their tradition of burning effigies and clearing away the evil spirits. The staff was helpful at arranging transport and tours. The meals were very nice and we enjoyed sharing stories with other guests at dinner and in the common area. Very convenient to Cotopaxi volcano.
