The check in process was awful. The hotel staff attempted to have me cancel my reservation which had been already paid, so that the hotel could charge me additional for what they claimed were “taxes.” The taxes were paid with my reservation. Once the hotel staff determined that I live in the United States they wanted to add additional fees to my reservation. The hotel staff wants me to pay additional for my two rooms that I reserved, I paid $211 for the two rooms and they want me to pay $260, initially they claimed the additional fees was because I was international, now they claim there are additional taxes, lastly they claimed it was because my mother decided to join us on our trip (she was not included in the reservation). They also called in the phone asking me prior to checking in asking me to pay cash as they knew I was coming from the US. This is unacceptable! The hotel should not be listed on Expedia due to their predatory and downright shady business practices.

Dear guest:Expedia does not include 12% of IVA on their page, it is constant problem to receive reservation from this page. Only international guest are exempt to pay the tax (12%). If you ask for an invoice with the information of an Ecuadorian the 12% must be charged, on several times we tried to explain you to please give us the information of the international guest in order to proceed with the invoice without taxes. Otherwise the hotel has to assume the taxes, 12 % of every reservation, it is imposible to run a business like this. The problem here is Expedia that gets more reservations and the commission excluding the taxes to show unreal rates. Even though we asked Expedia to write a final message at the end of the reservation informing the guests that the taxes are not included, some guest ( in this case, YOU) didn't read it, About what you write, that your reservation was already paid, it lacks of truth, Expedia asks for you credit card information, but you where not charged, most clients think that because they put the credit card information on the Expedia reservation page, you are automatically being charged. On hi season, we make phone calls to make sure the clients are not going to cancel at last minute, and ask for a confirmation payment, do you know how many reservations we get from these pages, and they do not arrive, and we have empty rooms that we couldn't sell??? About the taxes problem, we are already talking to Expedia to have our property taken out, since this is a constant problem.On the other hand, the amount the hotel wanted to charge you, was because you had an extra person on the room, in any hotel of the world if you bring more guests that what you claim on the reservation, you will be charged. It is unacceptable that you write a comment with lack of truth, without letting us explain the situation, in this case we had to assume the 12% TAX, since you couldn't even give us the information of the international guest, we ask for several times, assuming we were trying to be shady as you claim on this unfair comment.

Wonderful traditional Hacienda with beautiful grounds and lots of fun activities for kids. The staff was attentive and very helpful in helping us arrange transportation and day trips with a great guide. The buildings are old, which is the charm, so expect rustic.

Good location, but infrastructure getting old
Hacienda Chorlavi used to be one of the best locations to stay in Ibarra. Not anymore. The hotel is very well located on the Panamericana Highway, 5 minutes South to the city entrance. Rooms have been upgraded recently with new bathrooms, TVs and Internet. All this is good. But the rest of the hotel is getting old and service is not top level. Overall not worth the extra bucks you pay compared to other options in Ibarra.

Relaxing and Historic
It was a great place to relax with family. We had a good time even though the weather tried to keep us inside. When we decided to settle in for the night the staff came out to help light the fire place, which provided a nice relaxing place to chat for a few hours. The staff was also very helpful with our room service requests. The only complaints that we had were that the jacuzzi was closed, which would've been a great place to relax on a cold evening and the $pricey meal (meats) weren't fresh, they seemed as if they were frozen by the way they were cooked. Also, the room we almost took had old carpeting which was a bit musty, I don't think carpeting is a good idea in such a moist area. Other than that, we loved it and would recommend it to friends and family.

Living history, great experience
This hacienda has great character and is a fine example of the people and culture of Ecuador. This place is no Ritz, but that was exactly why I liked it. It's rustic and original, not genuine-imitation like most Americans are used to. The floors creaked, the bed creaked, the bathrooms are spartan but spotlessly clean. The grounds and gardens were naturally beautiful, and the pool area looked inviting, although my schedule didn't allow for that indulgence. I'm planning on that for my next visit.

Not quite what we expected
We were there in May 2012. The pool and spa were not open. Which was a dissapointment. Also the room smelled very musty. Although that is probably to be expected since it is from the 1600's. Staff however were very helpful although most did not speak any English.

Historical Property
My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights on our honeymooon and had a wonderful stay. Old Jesuit hacienda from the 1620's although our room was modern. Great staff and customer service. Beautiful property now run by two sisters, educated at universities in the US, whose family has owned the property for six generations. Will definately stay here again. Most romantic dining experience of our stay in Ecuador.

El jacuzzi no estuvo caliente para su uso. Tuve que buscar personal para que me entreguen toallas en la piscina porque no había nadie pendiente. Tuve que solicitar cambio de habitación porque no había agua caliente y un fuerte olor a brea que vino de un area que estaban pintando. El lugar es muy bonito pero al parecer si no se va con un grupo de turismo no están pendientes. Sin embargo, al poner mi queja si me dieron in descuentos.

El precio del hotel no está acorde a la calidad y antigüedad del mismo. El desayuno muy malo. Deben invertir los propietarios o dejar de prestar el servicio. No recomiendo a nadie hospedarse ahí y no regresaría. Por suerte hay otro lugares.

Très décevant !
Chambre petite et qui empestait le bois et le vernis. C'est un endroit historique m'a-t-on répondu. Situé à quelques km d'Ibarra près de l'autoroute la panaméricaine, le bruit des voitures devient terrible la nuit. Des moustiques partout dans le jardin et dans la chambre sans AC. Le comble, c'est le mariage organisé dans le patio de l'Hotel et la musique qui l'accompagne. Seule note positive, le petit déjeuner.

Un lugar magico en la serrania ecuatoriana
La hacienda es una maravilla. Su ambiente y decoracion te transportan a otra epoca. Aqui puedes disfrutar de las comodidades de un spa y tambien de la naturaleza. Las habitaciones ofrecen camas super limpias y comodas donde puedes descansar toda la noche y solo te despiertas con el canto de los pajaros. Esta rodeada de muchisimos arboles frutales, flores y aves. Tambien pasa por alli un riachuelo que le da una nota de encanto al lugar. Las instalaciones y el personal hacen que tu estadia sea inolvidable y digna de repetirse.
