Emerson, the host went out of his way to accommodate us, and Carlos and Katy (his staff) provided everything we needed--vegan (and delicious) meals using local ingredients. The beds were comfortable and had plenty of blankets to defeat the mountain chill. I loved the paintings everywhere. The place is rustic, but comfortable and well-maintained. Even though we are not young mountaineers, we were comfortable and happy there. Even though the place is right next to the road, it is quiet. The bathroom is down the hall, but it is very clean, and there were no other guests that night.

Some folks go above and beyond, and Patricio is one of them. He provides everything you need, and even at night gives you a hit water bag to keep your feet warm in bed. The rooms have great views, he’s a trained chef so you can purchase meals if you want, he has a kitchen for guests to use if you prefer. It’s a short walk up to great trails on the mountain, or to the lake if you prefer that. And his children are super friendly and helpful. A perfect stay.

Loved our host, very sweet people and didn't mind me using Google translate to communicate better. He even took us to a few places most visitors probably don't think about. They prepared us dinner one night which was great! The house is super cute and clean, love the view to the lake. The town is safe to walk I'm at night. Make sure to go to Bambu Grill. Great place to eat.

It's great hostel with very nice and helpful staff.
The rooms are spacious. There was hot water with no problem of switching between hot and cold water (unlike in many other places in Ecuador).
The brealfast was great, varoius and tasty
The location is great - a minute of walk from Terminal Terrestre, 10 minutes of walk from Plaza de Ponchos, 15 minutes from Aki supermarket.
There are also good restaurants in the area, but not all of them are updated on Google Maps.
There is no problem to leave your luggage before official check-in and after official check-out.
It has great value for money.
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.
My medical appointment was postponed and I had to make last minute plans to spend the night. I was very happy with the hotel. Very clean spacious room, attentive staff, quiet despite being in town. I would definitely stay here again.
I had an excellent stay at Refugio Terra Esperanza. Emerson was so helpful in answering all my questions. Excellent services. He cooked me breakfast for $3 and helped me call a taxi to Cumbre Imbabura (which I highly recommend). The place itself is rustic, but charming and cozy. It has great views of Imbabura and Cayambe, so definitely try to wake up early for that. Overall, I would highly recommend this refugio to anyone traveling here. Emerson is a great host and I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you Emerson!
Large room in a very quiet area of town. Large table for my belongings. Nice hot water in shower. Comfortable bed. Cleaning staff was pleasant, offered to clean my room daily. Host was very nice. He arranged for a taxi to take me to the laguna and return to pick me up, and rode with us to make sure the taxi driver knew where to pick me up and at what time. Place was only a few blocks from a great Cafe with good strong coffee - El Quinde Cafe.
