The property itself is very nice, but the old town area is not safe at night and the hotel should do better to make sure their guests can enter it whenever they want to come back from outside. We left for dinner and came back to the hotel at 9pm. There was nobody at the front desk to let us in for whatever reason and we were not given a front door fob or key. We rang the doorbell for 20 minutes, we tried to knock, call the front desk, etc. to be let in. BUT NOBODY LET US IN. We are patient people except for the fact that old town Quito is UNSAFE AT NIGHT TIME for tourists. There are people who heckle you and who loiter outside the hotel at night, leaving us feeling very unsafe because we looked like tourists and were unable to get into our hotel. We thankfully went to an open place next door and they called the front desk persons cell phone who let us in after 40 minutes. The front desk person said they were cleaning the jacuzzi and did not hear the ring. However, for any hotel excluding that this is luxury, making their guests feel unsafe is especially unacceptable. I highly recommend either getting backup staff, giving guests a key fob for the front door when they check in, getting a louder doorbell, etc. not having someone at front desk at night is not acceptable. We did not feel safe outside at night in Quito and there should be a way to enter a hotel you pay to stay in. Please resolve for future.

Ecuadorian Luxury, World-Class Hospitality For our first trip to Quito, we wanted to stay somewhere very special. That meant eschewing the modern chain hotels in the suburbs in favour of someplace unique in the historic district. I narrowed the list to three places within a few blocks of one another, but the boutique size of ILLA Experience Hotel and Spa, and the glowing reviews here that lauded the staff for their exceptionally personal service, won me over. I can’t imagine having made a better choice. This is one of the best hotels we have experienced anywhere in the world. The outstanding service began well prior to our arrival. So many emails and WhatsApp messages were exchanged between the front desk staff and me as we worked out dinner reservations, airport transfers, potential tours, and one very special request. Since it was to be our first time ever not being at home for December 24th and 25th, I asked if it would be possible for me to pay to have a real Christmas tree put up in our room. It was an instant and enthusiastic “Yes!” from ILLA, and over the subsequent few weeks they sent me photos of the type of tree available, and potential ornaments and nativity sets. Eventually, together, we settled on a selection of typical ornaments, simple white lights, and a large cluster of red Ecuadorian roses at the top. The price was very reasonable as well. The next generous gesture came when we landed at 6AM on Christmas Eve day. The hotel had someone

Great room and common areas. Great location. The highlight of the hotel experience was any meal with Juan Carlos, the chef. Very few tables, and people from all over Quito come for his delicious, hand-crafted meals that he prepares where you may watch. What TLC! Excellent staff like Juan David, Christian, Francisco and Vincent.

IIIA is an excellent hotel to stay at. The property is great and has a good amount of amenities. They offer you fresh juice and fruit at your door in the morning. Breakfast is prepared every morning fresh and to our specification. This was great because I was expecting the typically continental breakfast buffet set up. The hotel did have one local experience where we were given a brief introduction to the Canelazo a typically Ecuadorian drink. The room was clean and water was refilled every night we stayed. The one hint I would have for folks is to ensure you are not staying near the front door when possible. We stayed in the room close to the entrance and it can get a bit noisy in the morning when folks are leaving.

The property and staff are quite wonderful. There does need to be some clarification on the Gold perks because what is written is not what is received and that in no way diminishes the greatness of the hotel but still needs to be clarified. You won’t regret staying at this hotel.

Great hospitality in the heart of Quito
During our two weeks trip in Ecuador we stayed twice at Illa Experience hotel, at the beginning of the trip and at its end. We were both time greeted as friends, with a very knowledgeable staff who arranged a multitude of things for us: from restaurant reservations (and with a special mention for Nuema, the restaurant located in the hotel, that was ranked 48th in the 50 best ranking of the global South Americas restaurants) to help to shop for specific items, explanations about the local culture and more. We enjoyed every minute of our two stays.

Illa is a fantastic hotel. The service is top notch and the hotel is very cool. They arranged transfers for us to/from the airport as well as a hike up a local mountain. The only thing that disappointed us was that we couldn't stay longer. If you are going to Quito, this is the place to stay!

100% recommend this hidden gem!!! 100 stars!
My stay at Illa Experience was phenomenal! We stayed here for two nights after a 5-day excursion in the Galapagos and needed some rest and relaxation - Illa delivered! This is the first hotel we've stayed at where they offer experiences. The first night, they taught us how to make traditional Ecuadorian ice cream which was delicious and my daughter loved it. The second day, we learned how to make and tasted Canelazo (a traditional holiday drink). This reminded me of wassail and was really incredible. On the third day, a sombrero maker taught us the history of Panama hats (which are actually from Ecuador) and how to make them. Such a painstakingly beautiful process. We ended up going to her tienda the next day and buying one. The rooms are huge and wonderfully appointed. I took a nice long bath in the enormous tub and the beds were super comfortable. The suite also had gorgeous colors and colonial details. The view of the Winged Virgin on the hilltop behind the hotel is unparalleled! Every afternoon, complimentary tea time and homemade goodies are provided. We looked forward to coming back to the hotel every afternoon and having this special treat. Daily complimentary breakfast at Nuema restaurant was delicious and huge! This easily could've costed $25 per person. Lastly, the Staff at Illa is second to none. They made us feel like family and were so welcoming to us. If we're ever in Quito again, we will absolutely stay here again! Cannot recommend enough!
