Hosteria Casa Silva

We chose Casa Silva for our last night in Ecuador as we were flying up from Cuenca and had a very early flight to the US the next morning. We did not want our amazing trip to end at some generic airport hotel, nor did we want to deal with the 45-minute commute to/from Quito. We were exceedingly pleased to discover this gem of a property only about 20 minutes away from UIO. Our stay was way too short as we could easily have spent a few days bird watching and relaxing. We did however get to enjoy one beautiful evening walking the grounds and marveling at the eclectic collection of antiques and old photographs (one of the spaces is set up like a little museum!). We ate one of the better meals we had in all of Ecuador and the staff was so warm and friendly. They even packed us a little breakfast box since we had to leave for the airport at 4:00AM. Honestly, the best place to send us off from one of our favorite countries to date! Be mindful that this is a more remote/rural location. The hotel does offer transportation service but we also found Uber to work.

Het ontbijt was een lust voor het oog en de smaak was uitstekend! De ligging ten opzichte van het vliegveld is handig. Je bent er zo en dat is fijn na een lange reis.

Peaceful and quiet. And lovely landscaping. Staff at the hotel arranged my transportation to and from the airport. Felt safe as a solo traveler and it was most cost effective. I chose here because I needed a clean place close to the airport to rest for few hours before my flight around midnight.

Big property with potential to be great. Near the airport. Shuttle service organised by the accommodation was good. Breakfast was nice.

The whole place seemed quite neglected. I liked the dogs but there was dog poo all over the property. Many seating opportunities outside but none of it was clean (bird poo). Beware they do not have vegetarian options for dinner. I ended up ordering chips and a salad. Was served something else instead which I think was meant well, but I had neither ordered, nor liked, nor eaten it and still had to pay the full price. Would've been find with the chips I wanted. Reception was often vacated with no means to contact anybody. Bedsheets and pillows had multiple stains. The room was very cold. I wouldn't stay again even though staff was very nice.
