I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were very comfortable and clean, plus they had a lovely balcony overlooking the river. It was quiet and serene, but one downside was a party at 4 am. The location was excellent, right by the river and surrounded by great restaurants. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff and a beautiful building to enjoy. The dining experience was a pleasant surprise, and the facilities were great. A wonderful value for money overall.

My stay at Selina was a mixed experience. The architecture was unique and interesting, but the cleanliness left much to be desired as the rooms clearly had not been vacuumed, which was quite off-putting. However, the location overlooking the Tomebamba river was excellent and only a few blocks away from the town center.

The location of Selina is great, overlooking the Tomebamba river and only blocks away from the center of town. However, it could use a good cleaning as there were cigarette butts everywhere.
