“I found this colonial-style house in Riobamba to be a pleasant surprise, placing guests centrally between the terminal and the city's attractions. While some may find the wifi reception a bit spotty in the rooms, the property more than compensates with comfortable, spacious rooms and a very helpful staff. For travelers seeking a cultural experience without sacrificing convenience, it strikes a balanced chord.”
