Ikala Quito Hotel was situated right in the heart of La Floresta. It is about a 15 minute cab ride from the historical center, however, if you want to be near great restaurants and a more hip and authentic part of town, this place is it! Our room was spacious, quiet, and clean. The best part of our stay was the wonderful breakfast every morning. We had a selection of different Ecuadorian foods, fruits, and juices. We even arranged a food tour that was in the area one evening. If you're looking for a great boutique hotel in the heart of bohemian La Floresta, this place is it!
