    I visited this hotel with my family (spouse and three kids, ages 11, 6 and 3) for one night, and we all loved it. The grounds were beautiful, the staff was nice, and the dinner was delicious and cheap. Our room was huge, and the beds were very comfortable. I wish we could have stayed a little longer.

    My go-to place for options close to the Quito airport.

    The primary reason to stay anywhere in Puembo is for the close proximity to the airport. If you want to experience Quito tourist stuff, nightlife, or restaurants, then staying downtown is more convenient and fun.

    I've stayed here multiple times in the past few years, and I've always been very pleased. The grounds / gardens are beautiful and relaxing. The beds are comfy, the showers are hot, the service is friendly and reliable, and the food is good (breakfast included and you can request dinner for an extra charge). For a few extra dollars you can also use the Turkish sauna. This is my favorite place to stay for easy access to the Quito airport.

    It would be nice to have a bedside lamp so you do not have to get out of bed to turn off the lights.

    Zaysant Econolodge is a very pleasant, enjoyable place to stay.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller

    The weather in Ecuador during the rainy season is mercurial. There were two nights that were very chilly despite the 2 blankets and the comforter on the bed. Winter sleep attire is recommended if you are uncomfortable with cold. The lighting in my room was not conducive to bedtime reading. My reading materials were on my Kindle, so I was not affected. Others might want to pack a reading light.

    The location was perfect for me, close to the airport and to my family. The breakfasts were always good: fresh fruit, eggs, cheese or ham, toast, juice, coffee, or tea. Zaysant is such a beautiful, serene property. The grounds are filled with flowers and I enjoyed seeing the various birds. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. They prepared a dinner for six for us; everything was well prepared and tasty. I was glad to be able to extend my stay at Zaysant. I ended up staying there for 7 of the 9 nights that I was in Ecuador. One of the things I liked best was the private sitting area outside my door. It was the perfect place for journaling (tables with a bench in between) and a most relaxing hammock for reading or sleeping. Each room has one of these private outdoor spaces. Rooms are beautifully appointed. I'll look forward to staying there in the future.

    Visitors should bring a reading light for nighttime reading of hard copy books as nighttime lighting is inadequate for reading in bed. Nights have been chilly even with multiple blankets on the bed. Winter sleep attire is recommended.

    Zayzant is a beautiful, serene property. My room was very comfortable and clean. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Each room has its own outdoor seating space, most with a bench, sofa, table and chairs, desk, or hammock. These spots are perfect for journaling, reading, or relaxing. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with opportunities for birdwatching. Children staying here enjoyed the soccer area. Wifi worked well and there are adequate and convenient outlets for recharging devices. Zayzant provides good bottled water for drinking on site and also for backpacking...so helpful.

    Really Beautiful Property

    • Stayed 1 night

    The only negative I have is that Said from Zaysant, who contacted me by what's app about picking us up never followed through for either of our stays (3/7/23 & 3/15/23). No one showed up to get us on 3/7/23 and he had told us by what's app that someone would be waiting for us with a sign with my name on it. There was no one there with a sign and we waited 30 minutes so then we had to take a taxi. This was late at night 11:30 pm and thankfully the taxi was very kind and we were safe. But when you're in a new country, don't speak the language, is it scary and intimidating so it would have been nice for them to have come through on their offer to pick us up at the airport. On 3/15/23 the same thing happened, he asked if we needed to be picked up and I asked him how much and if someone would show up since they didn't on 3/7/23 and he never then responded to me so we had to atke a taxi again. This time not scary as it was 4 pm and we'd already done it once. Just make sure at the airport you get a taxi that is registered with the city and that you ask them how much it will be before you get in the car. We had no problems becasue that is what we did.

    This is a beautifully done place and very clean! The women who manages it is very kind and competent! We enjoyed our stay a lot because of her (I so wish I remembered her name)! Thank you for making dinner for us (at a very reasonable cost), and serving me a wonderful glass of wine. This made for such a relaxing evening after a long days travel and before another long day of travel the next day. We were so blessed to be able to spend some time here before our long journey home and with the added bonus of the adorable puppies and their sweet mother and the beautiful humming birds! You were so lovely and took such amazing care of us, including getting up at 4 am to make sure our taxi came and to check us out! I would recommend this place to everyone!

    When we arrived we were offered dinner, which was spaghetti Bolognese, and it was delicious! Then when we came to pay the bill we were charged 12 dollars a plate. Seems like a lot of money for a simple plate(with no extras like salad, wine or beer). Luckily they didn't charge for our 4 year old girl!

    Breakfast was lovely.

    A little out of the way but that is also its strong point

    A beautiful place to spend a few days after travelling or to enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of Ecuador before leaving. The host was very welcoming and helpful, not to mention the delicious meals she makes. The room was lovely, spacious, unique, comfy beds and pillows and right next to the gardens with the sound of water features in the background. I could have stayed longer and will certainly stay again. Thank you.
