Go Hard or Go Home
Review of Cotopaxi, Quito by zoe_page

Advantages: Pretty....when you get there, no hiking experience neccessary
Disadvantages: Hardly a relaxing part of a holiday

I grew up in a seaside town, in a home a few streets from the beach. In other words, I spent my formative years at sea level. 18 or so years later I'd had enough of being so low down, so shunned London (elevation: 24m) for the dizzy heights of Manchester ... Read review

Back with that E by catsholiday
Hard work climbing at altitude. Most of our latest USA holiday was at 6000ft+ and often at 80000ft and we certainly felt it at first. Fascinating review and great experience. I'll be back with an E tomorrow. by catsholiday

This Chimenea Is Smoking!
Review of Hostal Chimenea, Banos by zoe_page

Advantages: Great location, comfy rooms, cheap as chips
Disadvantages: Pool wasn't open

Baños is a spa town a few hours from Quito, and we spent a number of days there during Carneval, a public holiday that left my mother with a few days off work. Knowing that during a long weekend a place like this (which is popular at the quietest of times ... Read review

Hotel Quito is pretty good for Quito standards.
Review of Hotel Quito, Quito by kama0529

Good review. I am actually interested in this for my next holiday. I would prefer to read more about the rooms, hotel standard, e.g. comparing to Europe or how many stars does it have, price range for the booking (I know you haven't booked this one but some research would help). by Veronica115012
Sorry but your information is very sketchy and you have hardly mentioned the actual rooms at all. A lot more information is needed for a hotel review to be helpful, take a look at some of the other reviews on the site to get an idea. by Averilla

Reina Isabel, superb value as a base from which to explore.
Review of Hotel Reina Isabel, Quito by jayney49

Advantages: basic, cheap, clean, friendly staff, super breakfasts.
Disadvantages: 45 minute walk to city centre, noisy roadworks outside at the time of visit.

This hotel was the cheapest offered with our tour package to Quito and Galapagos. We were not expecting luxury, and although the hotel is basic as a base to explore the city, it more than came up to our expectations. The staff on reception were friendly a ... Read review

Journey To The Centre of The Earth
Review of Equatorial Monument (La Mitad del Mundo), Quito by zoe_page

Advantages: A cheap day out, unique
Disadvantages: Geographically, and scientifically, slightly off...

While it may sound a bit of a trek, getting to the centre of the Earth is not all that difficult, at least not when Quito is you starting point. The Ecuadorian capital is pretty near the equator line, and as such, a visit is high on many people's lists wh ... Read review

Review of Quito by torr

Advantages: Beautiful setting, churches and Spanish colonial architecture
Disadvantages: Traffic noise and fumes, some street crime

We happened upon the Plaza de la Fundación rather by accident, because it does not feature prominently in the guide books. Fortunately, my wife and I had only just started out on our walk around the old town of Quito, and it helped us orient ourselves, ... Read review

a lovely review and photos. I wonder just how much tourism will destroy the ecosystem though. I also cannot believe that woman on the boat, can only assume that she was one of those insufferable people you dont want to meet on holidays. by Claiiiree

The limits of wonder
Review of Galapagos Islands by torr

Advantages: Naturally wonderful
Disadvantages: But not necessarily so wonderful to visit

The Galápagos Islands are famously wonderful - in the literal sense of being full of wonders. Their location is unique and so, in consequence, is much of their wildlife. In the continuing throes of creation by a volcanic hotspot far out in the Pacific ... Read review
