Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The hotel staff is as friendly as it gets. The service was excellent at all times. Nevertheless, the rooms are very old and needs urgent remodeling. The bathroom needs new equipments. The shower and tiles are dirty and the faucets barely worked properly. Although the rooms are old, the rooms were very clean. Be aware that THERE IS NO A/C in the rooms. Although the weather in Quito is quite nice, there were times in the afternoon where the room temperature was not as nice and needed an a/c. There is a small window that may be open in order to cool the room but sometimes the room temperature was above 74 degrees. On the other hand, our room was in the fourth floor with a city view and was not sound proof. All street and traffic noises were heard like if we were outside at all times. The breakfast buffet was very limited with a small variety of items.

There was a whole lot of us from the US who visited this hotel for a medical trip. Breakfast was always promising with fruits, eggs and more. Dinner included soup, main course and dessert. The room was tidied every day and towels replaced. There is no A/C and you could not brush your teeth with the water. No flushing your toilet paper which is normal in this country. I had one incident which included my bolt would not lock. They refused to fix it. The chain lock was backwards which they eventually fixed. My roommate was able to get a key without giving her name or any ID. The view was incredible and the bed was comfy. Traffic was extremely loud because people like to use there horns. Even though we lived on the 9th floor, traffic sounds were still very well heard. The sun shone brightly in the morning. Overall, this hotel was average. Meal service was good, but I was not impressed with them refusing to fix something as simple as a bolt. The front desk greeted us all kindly in the morning with a “buenas Dias”. If you are used to luxury, i would not recommend this place for you, but it was a good place to lay out heads at night.

I stayed at Tambo Real on a school trip and the room was amazing. It comfortably fit five students, the amenities were very nice, and there was a great view of the mountains from the room. It's a great place to stay in Quito.

Very clean hotel. Room was well kept. Bathroom needed to be updated but I think that they are in the process of doing that. We were in a school trip & had several rooms. Some had more updated bathrooms. Bed could of been more comfortable but it wasn't awful.

I stayed there at the beginning and end of a student trip. The rooms for even 4 or 5 were bigger than I've ever seen. The breakfast buffet was good. There is no a/c but in their "winter" it is quite cool at night. I'm not sure how it would be in their summer months.

Hotel Tambo Real, in Quito, is that rare combination of clean, beautifully apportioned rooms, excellent food, great location, and professional and caring staff. The hotel provides easy access to the colonial quarters, to the cablecars for excellent hiking and mountain biking adventures, and to other key sites in Quito.

Overall this was a nice clean hotel. I had thought this was going to be in a very 'safe' area but what I found was the front of the hotel faced some beautiful parks and much of downtown Quito. Unfortunately the backside of the hotel doesn't looks like it is a safe area. At least I didn't feel overly safe outside on that side of the hotel area. The room was nice and clean and everything worked well. Food was good and very typical of Ecuador. Service was a bit slow, but still acceptable. My one complaint about this hotel was the speed (or lack there of) of the elevators. I will say that if I did come back to Quito, I would revisit this hotel.

Dear guest Thank you very much for your note. As any other big city, Quito have some areas where you have to be careful, during the day there is not a problem to walk around the hotel but at night we recommend to take a taxi. Close to the hotel we have different venues were usually concerts , exhibitions, and social events take place so you can move around with no problem. Hope you viist Quito again in the near future, will be a pleasure to have you as our guest once again. Best regards, Mauricio

Great stay! Comfortable beds and a great view of the city. Rooms are clean and kept at a good temperature. Breakfast was eggs, sausage, potato and an assortment of breads and lunch meat and cheese. It was tasty! Water pressure was not so good in shower. Wifi was a little spotty but still worked. TV did not work. Really nice hotel!

Standard hotel, but far from international standards. Room looks ok at first sight, but details are sloppy: ceiling tiles detached, bathtub rusty, light fixtures do not function properly, … Towels and bed was clean. Breakfast is included in the night, but very limited. Staying here for several days was not a culinary feast. For a few days should be okay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location is a plus and saves the review. TIP: ask for a room at the front, you’ll get a nice view to wake up with.

Dear guest: Thanks for your comments. Along with the new management we are working on several changes in the hotel. We have started in the lobby, lobby bar and restaurant. This year we will work in rooms, but it is a high investment that will take some time. I hope that during your next visit you can see the changes. Best regards, Mauricio Pacheco

I have stayed at Tambo Real in my last two visits to Quito, and I have not been disappointed. The people working at the reception are very polite and willing to provide information about the surroundings, and the city. This location is very convenient if you are planning to visit the old part of Quito since it is not far from the “Centro”. You can take a cab from the hotel to the historic sites around the “Centro”. I would not recommend walking from the hotel to the historic part of Quito at night. On Sunday nights the hotel surroundings are desolate mainly because there is a big park in front of the hotel and everything is closed. If you get hungry on a Sunday night and do not want to order room service, you may walk one block from the hotel to two fast food restaurants that are open until late. Regarding to the hotel itself, the rooms are very spacious and the bathrooms are clean. It is important to note that the halls are very quiet and you can get a good night of sleep. I do not want to write many details about the hotel facilities because it is better to check the pictures I have attached. I would recommend this hotel. Enjoy your stay in Quito!
