The Four Points is much more a standard international business hotel, though travelers with just a night before catching an onward flight to the Galápagos find it convenient for its proximity to the airport and the Mall del Sol. It also has a large outdoor pool, small gym, sauna,… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Located behind the cathedral and a block from Parque Bolívar, the Grand takes up the entire block and though the carpeted rooms aren't as modern or luxurious as the lobby, they are comfortable. Breakfast is included, as are 30 minutes free Internet a day, plus wi-fi is available … Full Lonely Planet Review ›

The Alexander is one of the best-value places because it has both a central location and professional service, even if the carpeted and somewhat dark rooms are unimpressive. There are several computers with Internet access in the lobby and wi-fi is free - intentionally or not - p… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

The attractive facade of the Andaluz suggests an elegant colonial-era building, while the tiny lobby with the cashier locked behind a security grate leaves an unfortunate impression. Through a maze of hallways and a little garden, the rooms themselves are clean and comfortable. E… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Unfortunately the rooms at the California aren't as nice as you might think from the marble lobby and professional staff. Each does have cable TV and a modern bathroom, but the upper-floor rooms are a bit of a slog to reach in the heat without an elevator. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This big fortress-like building topped with the flags of South American countries looks more like an embassy than a hotel. One of the oldest of the city's luxury hotels, the Continental's carpeted rooms are comfortable though not especially large. It's right across from Parque Bo… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Though it's already a few years old, Las Penas looks and feels like it's just rolled off the assembly line. The bright green hallways lead to tile-floored large rooms with cable TV and mini fridges. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Another good budget choice only a block north of Suites Madrid, this new hotel has a gleaming marble and tile lobby to match the small but gleaming rooms. Hot water is hit and miss, but the staff are friendly and professional. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Easily the best feature of this aging hotel is its location on the Malecón. Rooms here cry out for a decorator to do away with the strangely mismatched furniture, plastic lawn-chairs and large, marble bathrooms. There's a small indoor pool covered by a greenhouse and surrounded b… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Conveniently located a block from Parque Bolívar, the Rizzo's dark hallways lead to large but irregularly shaped rooms with aging furniture. Some have wide windows with good views and all have modern bathrooms and cable TV. Breakfast is included. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

What makes the large bunker-like Sander one of the better cheapies is the 24-hour security, friendly front desk and elevator to take you to the top floors. Otherwise the almost bare (except for a piece of old wooden furniture), tiled-floor rooms aren't much to get excited about. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This high-rise is popular with groups, less for its large carpeted, geometrically challenged rooms than for the fact that it has three restaurants and a small gym and sauna. Ask for a top-floor room with a view. Rooms sleeping four are excellent value. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

A good choice because of its great location and friendly staff, the St Rafael can be forgiven for its dark hallways and mismatched furniture. Rooms with views of the park are especially sunny. Full Lonely Planet Review ›
