Chakana Hotel Boutique Mariscal is at Juan Rodríguez N24-262 in La Mariscal, a two-minute walk from Plaza Foch, and it is the small boutique option in a district of larger hotels. Guests rate it 9.6 out of 10, though from a modest number of reviews, so treat that score as a promising sign rather than a long record. The hotel serves a free continental breakfast, has a restaurant and a bar, offers free in-room Wi-Fi, keeps a 24-hour front desk and provides daily housekeeping, and it welcomes pets. Rooms come in several types: a standard room with a queen bed, a superior room with a king bed, a double room with a jacuzzi for couples, and twin and triple rooms with two queen beds that sleep three. There are meeting rooms for small groups, and an airport shuttle can be arranged for a fee per vehicle. It has no pool and no parking, but the central address and the included breakfast make it a smart, good-value choice.
Location and getting around
Plaza Foch is the heart of La Mariscal's evening life, with restaurants, cafes, craft beer bars and live music within a few minutes on foot. The Pontifical Catholic University is about eight minutes away on foot, the La Mariscal craft market about ten and the House of Ecuadorian Culture a bit further. The El Ejido metro station is around seventeen minutes on foot, so the metro is possible but many guests will take a short taxi or ride-hailing trip to the Old Town and to the TelefériQo base.
Parque La Carolina, the city's big park, is about five minutes by car. The airport is a drive of a little under an hour, so book your transfer before you land. Evenings in Mariscal are lively, and a taxi back to the hotel after late dinners is a sensible habit.
Rooms and facilities
The standard room is small, so choose a superior room or the jacuzzi room if you want space and a soak. The twin and triple rooms are convenient for friends travelling together and for a family of three. Breakfast is included and continental in style, so expect bread, fruit, coffee and similar items rather than a cooked buffet. There is a restaurant and a bar for a meal or a drink without going out, and meeting rooms are available for small business groups.
Parking is not offered, so the hotel suits visitors who arrive by taxi and use organised tours. Check-in begins in the early afternoon and the front desk runs around the clock, which helps with late flights. Check-out is at eleven in the morning, earlier than at some hotels. Free cancellation is offered on selected rates.
Who it suits and what to know: Chakana works for couples, solo travellers and friends who want a personal, small-hotel feel and to eat and drink in La Mariscal. Families with young children and anyone who needs a pool, a spa or parking should choose a larger hotel, such as the Mercure Alameda or the NH Collection Quito Royal.
Because the hotel is small, availability can be limited around the Fiestas de Quito in early December and Christmas week, so book early. Altitude takes a day or two to adjust to, so take it easy on arrival, drink water and save the highest viewpoints for later. Pack layers, as mornings are cold and afternoons warm.
