Hotel

By Caroline Bennett

A lovely complex of clean and cozy rooms with spectacular views and the warmest of hosts, you’re sure to be taken care of and then some at Mama Hilda’s. Running the place is a full-out family affair with hearty group meals in a homey dining room (veggie friendly too!), and Mama herself seemingly everywhere at once insuring that everything is up to par. Comfy brick-walled rooms, some with woodstoves and private bath, all share decks with colorful hammocks looking out over Mama’s flower garden and green patchwork hills beyond. Lounge on the balcony during the magical dusk hour when a hanging mist drapes over the mountains and you can hear the distant hum of kids playing futból in the town center. Families and larger groups can stay in “El Refuge”- the newest of buildings- which houses spacious rooms with lofts that sleep up to 6. Other rooms share bathrooms that are spotless and plentiful. Friendly owners will happily arrange horseback tours, hikes and private transport.

Mama's place is the best

Mama really knows how to cook, which is good because there aren't really any restaurants around here! We had a great stay with Mama.

Hostal Mama Hilda is a wonderful place to stay on the Quilotoa loop. My wife and I were originally only going to stay for 1 night, but ended up staying for 3. The family that run the hostal are so welcoming and friendly and the standard of accomodation and food is excellent.

Loved the hammocks with the view over the Andes. The food was great. Excellent place to relax. Only disadvantage to visiting Chuchiglan is that buses heading out of town only leave in the middle of the night.
