Hotel Olimpico Quevedo

“Commonly known as best of Quevedo”

Having toured small towns of Ecuador this past week, I'd agree this is "very good" for Ecuadorian standards. Pluses: air conditioning, stocked refrigerator, flat screen TV (must speak Spanish obviously), good quantity of hot water, soap, shampoo (Head & Shoulders) and Colgate toothpaste provided along with 2 nice towels. Also friendly and enclosed parking! Not as nice: bed, bedding and pillows. They were just "fair" as opposed to some other places I stayed. My room had an ashtray in it and I smelled smoke all night, not sure who was smoking or whether they still have smoking rooms and mine was one? Do inquire! & you'll want the AC but it's pretty loud (again, it's very good by the standards I found in smaller towns!) My room was on the 1st floor facing the pool - it was not quiet at night, as there was regular city noise one could hear through single pane glass, but that seems par for the course. I left very early and didn't have breakfast. Wifi did not work in my room but did while sitting at the bar - somewhat common, also.

The Hotel Olimpico is more than just a hotel; it is attached to a complex that includes an amazing (but dilapidated) 50 meter Olympic-sized pool complete with slides and diving towers! It is also connected to the adjacent football (soccer) stadium. THE HOTEL is nice for the region, with secure parking, friendly staff, poolside restaurant, and a bar. Our rooms were clean and well appointed with refrigerator, cable TV, safe, hot showers, and a balcony with a nice view of the town. The corridors were dark at night, but the premises did not seem unsafe. The glass elevator affords a nice view of the pool complex. THE 50M POOL is absolutely amazing, but not exactly safe. A play structure has been built into the shallow end of the pool, and children were having a great time falling from it into the water. There are also two waterslides and three concrete diving towers! Some handrails were rusted or missing, but if you use common sense and watch your children closely there is much fun to be had.

“Unusual”

Very different experience for a North American traveler. Visa credit card would not work as they cannot use the chip function. Difficulty understanding menu.

Very different experience for a North American traveler. Visa credit card would not work as they cannot use the chip function. Difficulty understanding menu. Hotel was showing it's age in places and reminded me of an Eastern Bloc country style of construction and others in our group agreed. Hotel staff had major difficulty speaking English and were slightly hesitant to help. Shower was great and bathroom was large and clean. The hotel room was quite large also with an apartment size fridge. Not the same atmosphere (friendly) that we experienced on our 1200km trip through Ecuador.
