If you are looking for a great place to stop on a road trip between northern and southern Ecuador, look no further. Chunchi is a quiet little town that offers a handful of mom and pop restaurants and a really excellent hotel.
I have often contended the two most important things a hotel can I offer are a comfortable bed and a good shower. The Hotel Chunchi Imperial rates excellent on both counts— as good as many high-end hotels in the US or Europe (we booked the higher end room for about six dollars more). Add to the bed and shower, secure parking for our vehicle, a very friendly staff, and an outstanding breakfast included with the room fee.
Our breakfast came with fresh baked rolls, ham and cheese, fresh fruit, just-squeezed juice, coffee, and perfectly cooked eggs. Instead of stopping in Riobamba, Alausí, or Cuenca... stop here!

Si está buscando un lugar para detenerse en un viaje por carretera entre el norte y el sur de Ecuador, no busque más. Chunchi es una pequeña ciudad tranquila que ofrece un puñado de restaurantes familiares y un hotel realmente excelente.
A menudo he sostenido que las dos cosas más importantes que puede ofrecer un hotel son una cama cómoda y una buena ducha. Las tarifas del Hotel Chunchi Imperial son excelentes en ambos aspectos: tan buenas como muchos hoteles de alto nivel en los EE. UU. O Europa (reservamos la habitación de alto nivel por unos seis dólares más). Agregue a la cama y la ducha, estacionamiento seguro para nuestro
We were pleasantly surprsed with our stay. Reception was easy and quick. The room was clean and comfortable. There was adequate parking outside the hotel for our car. We felt safe the whole time. Wifi worked well. There was adequate hot water for the shower. Breakfast was a wonderful surprise. Normally, breakfast begins service at 7am. We had a commitment to meet, so the night manager prepared a delicious complementary breakfast with fruit juices including, pineapple and tree tommmato juice!. We highly recommend this hotel.
