1. Hotel Dona Esther
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 203 reviews
COVID-19 update: we comply with all safety and hygien regulations, as stipulated by local and nacional authorities. Dona Esther is a small colonial style hotel in the center of Otavalo, just half a block from the central Bolivar park and near the famous Saturday crafts market. With only 13 rooms we can keep it personal, someone of our staff will always be eager to help you. Your room has a view on the green inner court yard, so you can take a seat outside your room and enjoy a glass of beer or wine after a day of activities, which our staff will gladly bring up to your room. Or take a look on the roof top terrace with beautiful views over Otavalo and the surrounding mountains. Our restaurant with a delicious and inventive menu is just downstairs, our reading room has enough books to buy or exchange and the Wifi is free. A choice of breakfasts is included in the room price. Please note that our restaurant is closed only on Monday evenings, we're there for you every other evening of the week and in the weekends all day and evening. Come and have a look, we'll be happy to have you as our guests!
Central location
Reviewed By Well_Travelled_TOMy primary reason for visiting Otavalo was the Saturday morning Poncho Market and Dona Esther is located at a short distance from there. The Dutch couple who own the place are helpful and friendly, as are the staff, although few speak English. Wendy, the owner, had a small electric heater put in my room, which I really appreciated. Noise reverberates around the courtyard and tour groups in particular tend to forget that they aren't the only guests. The valve for the shower is positioned so high that I couldn't reach it; but I was given a mop handle with which to move the lever.

Awesome Stay and Tour
Reviewed By Experience748179The Hacienda and it's grounds were gorgeous! We loved both the inside and the outside. Inside the decor was elaborate and comfortable. Outside the gardens were lush. Additionally, the Hacienda staff set us up with a wonderful guide, Christian. Christian took us to the weaving workshop, hiking to the waterfall, and to Cotacachi for shopping and some amazing coffee drinks. All together, it was a fabulous 2 days.

4. Las Palmeras Inn

4.5 based on 220 reviews
Las Palmeras Inn, a 25-minute downhill walk to the markets of Otavalo, overlooks the often snow-capped Cotacachi Mountain. Its garden cottages have fireplaces, new bathrooms and patios. Fine food and tranquility personified.
Wish we could have stayed longer
Reviewed By hunkydorey128This place was a real treat. We were surprised to find Hot water bottles in our beds to warm them, and a fire in the fireplace in each room. They have beautiful gardens with flowers and vegetables that I'm sure are used in preparing their delicious food. The friendly accommodating staff were always willing to help in any way possible. My only regret is we only were able to spend one night here. This place is definitely worth a return trip.

Visit to the area
Reviewed By Tanagen2Very good hotel, beautiful decoration and views of the area.Good breakfast, supper also recommended. On a steep cobbled lane, problem with (non 4x4) access if you happen to be self drive. Parking available in field at bottom of hill below hotrl, but this belongs to a neighbour who approached us for £1. That was fine, but not explained to us by hotel on arrival. Otherwise, recommended.

Fun, friendly place for budget travelers
Reviewed By macrtravellingI’d rate this 4 starts for a hostel. Very basic amenities, though the rooftop terrace with the white rabbit hopping around was a treasure and the decor was funky fun. Rooms clean enough, shower mostly had hot water. Lady at front desk very friendly and helpful. Pretty close to the market.

Tranquil getaway near Otavalo
Reviewed By TVTravI've stayed at this property twice with 2 friends and had a great experience both times. The first time we stayed upstairs, and to clarify the bathroom situation mentioned in other reviews, it is not outdoors and was only for us. Each room doesn't have a separate bathroom, but we didn't share with people we didn't know. The owners were very accommodating in terms of using the kitchen, and the upstairs terrace is big and heated. The second time we rented the apartment downstairs, which has a fireplace in the living area and a decent kitchen. They provided ample firewood for our stay so that although it's a bit chilly at night, the apartment was comfortable. The property itself is great--very quiet with excellent views of the lake and village below, and spectacular sunsets. This is a great place to chill out. The owners are very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was exactly as promised. Araque is a cute village, easily walkable from the property. I'm staying for an extended time in Otavalo, so I'm glad to have found this place where I can come and unwind and have a break from noise and bustle.

Reviewed By gumptraveli arrive very late around 23h and have to leave at 4am for a climb , i didnt have a reservation, but this was not a problem they charge me the same price, i got a quiet room, with all you need to pass by in Otavalo Ecuador, for a cheap price, the only wrong was that wifi didnt work in my room.

Delightful and comfortable rooms, friendly environment with attentive staff that offers an excellent service 24 hours a day.

Numerous large windows allow in plenty of light. Since its inception in July 2004 by three siblings from the Cotacahi Pineda family, the hotel has received awards and praise for it innovative approach and design.
Great hotel
Reviewed By Frank1128I stayed at this hotel several times before COVID, and always enjoyed the hospitality and convenience. I stayed there recently, and am happy to report the Acoma is once again open and ready for business. I stayed in one of the suites, which is very comfortable. The breakfast is substantial, with fresh fruit, bread, eggs, coffee, and juice. The hotel is only a couple of blocks from the Poncho Plaza market, which is also back to normal hours. For anyone concerned about the virus, rest assured that hotel staff take all precautions to protect guests. Front desk staff were great in providing everything I needed. I am vaccinated, and I felt comfortable traveling around Ecuador. Nearly everyone wore a mask (except in smaller communities), and hand sanitizer was available in stores and restaurants.
