Reviews of Hostal Doña Esther

31 January 2012 Malcolm would recommend this property

Liked: The owners went out of their way to help my husband get to a doctor. They said we were guests in their home and they certainly treated us accordingly. We would highly recommend the restaurant (best chicken soup ever) and the upstairs suite complete with kitchenette and fireplace. A great place to experience country life in Ecuador.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing.
