From the moment we walked through the doors at Wantara Suites we felt like we were home!! It’s close enough to everything (or a 10 minute taxi ride) but yet it feels like you’re staying in a cottage surrounded by a beautiful garden. I seriously can’t say enough about this property!! From the owners Wolfgang & his always smiling wife to Claudia (the property manager) everyone was super welcoming & they felt like family to us!! I would stay here again & again!!!

Our oasis in Quito's Historic town

We spent a week in Quito acclimatizing to the altitude before heading out on a week of hiking/running. This place was wonderful and as quiet as you can get in a city of 2 million. It was in a convenient location to the Old Town, and a short walk to the bus tops and places to pick up taxis. The apartment was well furnished with a comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen and lovely fireplace. A couple hints - bring ear plugs - the dogs of Quito do not sleep at night. Take all of Wolfgang's suggestions - he knows the area well and is a great host

Beautiful location, wonderful hosts

This place is beautiful, well kept, and clean. We felt so fortunate to meet the friendly and helpful owners, Wolfgang and Annemarie. What a pleasant surprise that was! I’m a wheelchair user (I can walk some) and would hesitate to recommend this place to anyone who has difficulty walking. The entrance is not wheelchair friendly and the most accessible room is multilevel without hand rails.

Fact finding in Quito

It was a pleasure to deal with Wolfgang and Annemarie. Their property is a magical oasis just a short walk from Old Town Quito, multiple restaurants, bakeries, corner stores, etc. They have lovingly restored their compound, paying attention to every detail - right down to fresh cut flowers placed in each suite from the beautiful gardens on the property. Especially enjoyed relaxing in front of the wood burning stove after a day of exploration - used to take the chill out of the cool Quito evenings. Can not wait to return. There is no reason to search any further for your home away from home in beautiful Quito - book now - you will not be disappointed.

Everything you want in a travel experience!!

We spent 10 days in this comfortable apartment in a beautiful garden! It is nicely equipped for preparing light meals; the bed is very comfortable; the bathroom is convenient. Laundry service at $5.00 a load is a bargain and convenience. We walked to Plaza Grande daily, close but the streets are steeply up and down; our legs and lungs had to adjust quickly. We complied with the suggestion of the manager to use taxis after dark to access this neighbourhood; it is a real neighbourhood, not in the tourist zone, which appeals to a certain type of traveler. Possibly the best part of staying in Wantara is Marcelo, the manager and driver; he is a dear guy available to advise, to fix and to charm! He assured us he could forecast weather better than the professionals!
