Fantastic Boutique Hotel
This boutique hotel was amazing! Centrally located, clean, old and refurbished in a classy way. The owner was fantastic, he goes out of his way to assist the guests. He provided great recommendations and directions on what to see and where to eat. This hotel was my favourite of all the places that I stayed in while in Ecuador. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is staying in Riobamba.

Stay here- it’s fabulous!
I stayed at Casa 1881 with friends for two nights. Our experience was most enjoyable. Santiago provided all the information we needed to make the best of our time in Riobamba. The rooms are lovely and very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and well presented. I would highly recommend staying here.

Casa 1881, Riobamba
Hotel didn’t have our reservation. We were lucky they had available room. Room was clean and spacious with the large bathroom and modern shower. Negative: not enough shelf space for toiletries. The host was very nice and friendly. I attribute confusion with check-in to Expedia

Excellent hotel with excellent staff
I highly recommend Casa 1881. Both the room and the bathroom were spacious and clean. The location was convenient. The breakfast was high quality. The staff was incredibly helpful, even setting me up with an excellent guide for Chimborazo. And they spoke fluent English which was a relief for a weary American traveler with few Spanish skills. My only suggestion would be to get an interior room -- the city "view" is really just city facing which means it's noisy.

Best service in Ecuador!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful hotel. The host manager of this hotel made our trip more memorable by giving us directions to everything we should see in the city. The breakfast was the best we had in Ecuador and included fresh fruits, eggs, toast, fresh juice and vegetables. We would definitely stay here again.

Best place in Ecuador
Beautiful building. I feel sorry for anyone visiting Riobamba that doesn't stay here. The rooms were amazing and the huge breakfast could last you all day. Santiago, the owner was a wealth of information and went out of his way to help. By far the best place we stayed in Ecuador.

Me encantó.
Debo empezar diciendo que el lugar es hermoso, decorado en una mezcla de vintage con Star Wars muy linda y original. Santiago es un súper anfitrión y es muy engreidor (consentidor/que mima a sus clientes). Me encantó que fuera un lugar relativamente pequeño pero las habitaciones y todo está impecable de limpio. Ah! Sigan sus recomendaciones por si no saben dónde comer y él les dice, con mapa y todo. Un genio, Santiago! Gracias por todo.
