CasKaffeSu Hotel and Restaurant Mindo

We did not have a place to stay and found this by chance. I was highly impressed with the low price and great quality room. Super clean and even included breakfast. Service was friendly and a very central location. Would definitely recommend and will stay here anytime I go back to Mindo.

The hotel is extremely well located. The place has a quirky and appealing feel and the proprietor is friendly and welcoming as are all the staff. The room had a comfortable bed — make sure to ask for towels which are readily available. Breakfast was fresh and ample. Excellent value for money.

The website of this B&B needs updating as it doesn't live up to its promise. We had zero hot water (literally no water coming out of the tap/shower) when we first arrived because it had been shut off to allow downstairs laundry to operate. Even when it was turned on it took forever to come through. Bathroom windows were old and rusty, the toilet cistern didn't work so it kept running during the night, small room was affected by noise of small resident child during day and night, washing machines running in addition to general noise of barking dogs and crowing cockerels you expect in central Mindo. The website advertises its restaurant but we didn't observe it as a going operation and you can't really relax in the communal area as it's taken up by children's toys. Location is great, bed was comfy and breakfast was fine but there are much better, more relaxing options in Mindo for a similar price.

Im an American expat born in Ecuador so I did my research in both English and Spanish. I booked a room in this hotel based on reviews and it met and exceeded my expectations. Super clean, hot shower, superb top of the line bed and bedding, great breakfast and superior customer service from staff. Isidro and staff at the front desk, Jose Luis the taxi driver was a godsend, a Mindo native, super kind and a very safe driver. Honest and a true professional. Did I mention the fabulous locarion?

Excellent value. Very friendly, helpful staff and management. Has hot strong current water in the showers. Very clean and accommodating. Good healthy breakfast. In the center of town with easy access to attractions. Caters to vegans. Would gladly return.

Very quiet and a cozy atmosphere.

Really liked staying here. Great location and breakfast was delicious. Friendly staff and rooms were super clean. Beds are very firm but slept really well. Hot shower at all times of the day. Good food at other times and allow you to store your bags if arriving early or departing late. Feels very secure location too. Considering how close it is to the main streets it was surprisingly quite at night too. Bring your own towels!

Excellent service and attention! RECOMMENDED.

The absolute best restaurant we've been to in Mindo! Everything about it is incredible — the atmosphere, food, service. Just amazing! You have to put this at the top of your list in Mindo!

I love the vibe of the Dragonfly Inn's rooms — all that wood and white, the balcony with a colorful hammock swing, the creek rushing by out the window. We found the room to be just the right size for two. The bathroom is a little dark (you won't be able to do your makeup in there), but the bed was comfortable, the breakfast was great, and the concierge working while we were there was so helpful — he got us a taxi when we needed it and was available to answer all questions.
The rooms do get a little warm (this shouldn't surprise you in August in Mindo) and it's just my suggestion that Dragonfly might pop some tabletop fans into the rooms for its guests. Not a deal breaker, though! As other reviewers have said, it can sometimes be noisy, since the rooms are right over the Mindo streets — we unfortunately dealt with a neighbor's barking puppy during our stay. Obviously, that's not Dragonfly's fault, but if you stay here (and you should), bring ear plugs. I think that's a sensible recommendation for travelers anywhere!
Given Dragonfly's price, location, general room comfort, and service, I would recommend it to anyone passing through the little paradise of Mindo. I wish I could go back.
