A wonderful, tranquil place to stay, close to Quito airport and with gorgeous gardens filled with birds. Lovely, very helpful staff and great restaurant.

We arrived at Quito Airport late in the afternoon. It is a short trip by taxi to the lodge. The colonial style main building an some of the guest houses resemble a museum. Our room was large and comfortable. The night was quiet as the main road ist in some distance and no planes fly during the night. And in the daytime its only about two planes an hour. The garden and the reserve are peaceful and great for seeing birds and offer some short but partly steep trails. The restaurant has indoor and garden seating. Very friendly staff. Perfect for a first or last stop in Ecuador.

I liked that the hacienda was next to a nature reserve, and we didn't have to travel in order to enjoy hiking, and birding. We enjoyed watching the different hummingbirds

This was such a unique place to stay. Our family had an overnight layover in Quito on our way back from the Galapagos and this was the perfect solution. The staff were so inviting and the food was excellent. We could tell it was family owned and operated with love and care. So many unique treasures and beautiful grounds.

It was a lovely bird-friendly hacienda that let me check in after I arrived at 6 am in Quito. They arranged an airport pick up for me, fed me breakfast at no charge while I watched hummingbirds and Southern Yellow Grossbeaks at the feeders. There were short trails and outdoor sitting areas. It was a great way to adjust to the altitude and enjoy myself for a day before heading to the rainforest. The room was lovely. A beautiful spot on the edge of a ravine. I saw lots of birds and enjoyed the scenery.

We stayed the night before we flew out. It was a quick stay. Not walkable to anything so you are at their mercy for food. It was good but not all inclusive.

I had the most lovely night at Hacienda Jimenita. The short walks available are beautiful with many birds to spot and acts as a nice short escape from the city (or pit stop before flying home with close distance to the airport). The staff are so friendly and helpful (I was offered a free upgrade without even asking due to an issue with my other room), and the food from the restaurant is incredible. highly recommend!

The restaurant is excellent, local rustic food, very tasty and well presented, slightly on the pricey side, staff is very polite. Lovely garden with lots of birds and small seats to relax. Large and comfortable rooms.

This is a peaceful and beautiful gem just 20 minutes from the airport. We had a last-minute change in travel plans and booked a night here rather than one of the airport hotels. We'd had a super stressful day traveling to Quito but the stress dissipated the minute we arrived here. The short time we had, we really enjoyed the beautiful grounds, bird and flower filled trails and our quick, tasty breakfast. If I'm ever in Quito again, I'll stay longer! The staff was very helpful and friendly as well.
