Dolce Lobo Boutique Stay

The property feels safer than any I’ve been it. The interior design is upbeat and unlike your average hotel. Great bedding, great tree top view allowed us to be entertained by mourning doves and hummingbirds. The breakfast was average for this area: eggs, fruit, fruit juice with or without sugar. In house roasted coffee. The manager and staff were efficient and friendly. We particularly liked Fernanda, the woman who served us breakfast on day one off three.

We stayed at Dolce Lobo Boutique for 3 nights (2 families of 4, 2 adults 2 kids each). Ana Paula communicated with us before, willing to help us with the extra luggage that we did not want to take with us in Galapagos. The hotel is spotless, has a nice decor, very welcoming and a nice roof top. All the staff that we interacted with (from the owner, gentlemen at check in, Maria Fernanda and the other lady at breakfast) are genuinely great people, fast in communication, willing to provide information, be helpful and make you stay in Quito as best as possible. I should mention that this was the 2nd hotel in Quito for our stay. Even we had an enjoyable stay at the other place, the service and quality provided by this hotel is incomparable, at the same price. Good breakfast, great coffee and morning juice. On a nice street, but 5 minutes from market and many dining and entertaining options. $2-$3 Uber Drives to any place. $15 Uber to Mitad del Mundo. There many options in Quito and searching could be overwhelming. Spear your time and stay here. You will not regret it.

Service was amazing, lilian i think was the name of the cleaning lady was terrific, the sweetest person ever! Communication was great, the hotel was very comfy, i only suggest some coffe brewers in the room.

Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined side street, the hotel is very close to Plaza Foch. The room was very comfortable, especially for the price, although it did take quite a while for the hot water to get going. The staff were great about accommodating us with both our early morning and late night departures for trips. We were only there a short time but would seriously consider this as the base for a longer stay.

The Positives The building is clean and the rooms are a generous size. Breakfast in your room is delightful. Nadya was not on site the day we stayed but she was very communicative via email and emailed me several times before we arrived. I am sure she would do anything to help a guest. The Negatives The property does not claim to be a hotel - it is indeed a self-service stay. It is not staffed past 3:30pm so the 6pm arrival scenario is navigating an outer electronic gate; then struggling with a second inner door electronic key pad; then hauling luggage up stairs (there is no elevator); then a third electronic code for the room. There is no one to greet you, answer questions or offer advice. We did not find the neighborhood to be an enjoyable or desirable place to walk around and find a place to eat. The neighborhood is out of the property's control but I am critical of not staffing the property given the price of the room. The Best Part Next door to the stay sits a wonderful hip boutique coffee bar called "Manquri". The manager Jose Manuel came to chat with us as we waited for an Uber in the morning to change hotels. Jose was warm, friendly and engaging -- we shared our disappointment with the property and he gave us a bag of artisan coffee to brighten our day. Jose is a wonderful example of kindness and hospitality and we are forever grateful for meeting such a wonderful person. Gracias to Jose!
