Jonathan KVerified Solid choice It's not perfect, but the lovely grounds and beautiful rooms made my three-night stay here very pleasant. Room: Our room was beautiful; spacious with high ceilings, a sofa and a wood burning stove. The bed was large and very comfortable. The shower's water temperature and pressure were good. There was no heat in the room, and we failed miserably in our attempts to build a fire, so mornings were a bit chilly. Location/grounds: Smack in the middle of a nature conservancy, the setting is idyllic, with a great variety of birds (including hummingbirds), a riot of flowers and other vegetation, a couple of miles of nature trails and two llamas who eagerly eat carrots the staff will provide you on request. The common area is inviting, with two fireplaces, comfortable chairs and couches, and a pool table. The hotel is conveniently located only 20 minutes from the airport, but is also directly in its flight path, so that attempts to become one with nature are regularly derailed by the thunderous sound of jets overhead. Staff: We were greeted with a delicious drink and staff were quick to bring our luggage to our room. In general they were polite and helpful when approached, but not that forthcoming. Since we stayed here immediately before and after our Galapagos excursion, it was a real bonus that the staff let us leave behind anything we didn't want to bring with us. Food: The restaurant is pricey, and with the exception of the onion rings, which were unaccountably the best I've ever had, the food was undistinguished. The service was unacceptably slow. Breakfast was included and was quite good. Value: Our stay was included as part of a tour, so I can't speak to the value. Overall, a very nice stay on beautiful grounds if you can overlook a few imperfections. HCVerified Peaceful, high quality accommodation on beautiful grounds close to Quito airport We stayed one night at Hacienda Jimenita prior to travelling to a lodge on the Napo river. If you have a night in Quito before, between or after trips to the Galapagos or other parts of Ecuador, and if you are a nature lover, it is hard to imagine a more peaceful, enjoyable and convenient accommodation than Hacienda Jimenita. The rooms are large and comfortable, the Hacienda is situated on large, beautiful gardens with hummingbird feeders, and there is access to walking trails to a canyon. There is also a restaurant on site. Importantly, it is only 15 minutes from the Quito airport and the Hacienda has its own transfer service. The staff were all very helpful and caring. We paid extra to do a bird walk with Daniel, one of the owners, and we would highly recommend this if you are interested in birds. The Hacienda is under the flight path, although we got used to the planes fairly quickly. mikeu791Verified Second visit to this amazing place! Another great visit to this special hotel and nature preserve. The staff, location, food and grounds are what makes this place incredible. This is our second visit to this amazing place. You won’t be disappointed ! Staff is so welcoming and attentive. Rooms are huge, the bathroom was very modern and the room had a fireplace and coffee machine. LaurieSusanVerified A Great Stay at a Great Property This is a beautiful property, with walking trails, gardens, areas to sit on benches or chairs on the lawn, birding shelters, lovely showers, and fireplaces in the room. The food in the dining room was fresh and delicious. We were there at a time when there was not many people-must be a great secret. Philip MVerified An amazing bird sanctuary on the outskirts of Quito The hotel is a haven from busy Quito set in a 370 acre bird life and nature reserve. The rooms are well appointed with some beautiful views of the mountains around Quito. We walked the nature trails seeing many birds. We enjoyed excellent local food served by friendly and helpful staff. Also it is very convenient for the airport Deborah NVerified Love this place!! Just go!! It’s amazing! Food, scenery, staff, rooms, activities, value - just absolutely wonderful! We had a group of 15 family members for 3-4 days - all adults, and couldn’t have picked a better spot to enjoy being together. Plenty to do, but also absolutely relaxing if you want to do nothing. Love, love, love! Alex MVerified Beautiful grounds, amazing staff, a great stay! We stayed at Hacienda Jimenita for a few nights before and after our dive trip in the Galapagos, and it was a great experience. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the bird life is plentiful and the rooms are comfortable. We initially booked a historical room, then chose to upgrade to a balcony room. While the former was more than adequate, Balcony Andes was truly wonderful with beautiful views over Quito and the surrounding mountain ranges. On the return night we got a complimentary upgrade to the Balcony Grand Canyon, and while the views are not as impressive, the room is even more private. The team was great, from the kind people at reception to Anthony and his colleagues in the restaurant. Breakfast is limited but great and as someone who abhors waste, it's great not seeing the usual buffet where mounds of food just gets thrown away. The chef and kitchen staff are really good and we enjoyed all lunches and dinners on the property. One mention is that rooms are unheated other than a stove where you can light your own fire at night and in the morning (it works great!), but from what our tour guide told us, this is common in Ecuador with virtually no property offering central heating or A/C. Still the heavy blankets and heated blankets available in each room certainly help mitigate the night / morning chill. We had a great stay and thoroughly recommend the property. Anthony BVerified Fabulous place to rest prior to flight Beautiful boutique hotel with wonderful gardens and grounds just 15 minutes from the airport. Exquisite bird life and lovely views over to the surrounding mountains. Fabulous and we really enjoyed our short stay prior to our departure from Quito. Large and comfortable suites.Tripadvisor rating score: 4.8 of 5, based on 849 reviews
