A hidden gem in Quito

Hi highly recommend this hidden gem of a hotel near Old Town Quito. Mario and Blanco were fantastic hosts from helping us during our very late arrivals, to a wonderful breakfast each morning, helping us with suggestions on where to go in Old Town, making our dinner reservation & transport to the airport. All were perfect!

Lovely stay

Our stay was great! The couple running the hotel is amazing! They had breakfast ready for us a little earlier, they were always smiling in the mornings, and welcomed us back each night. We stayed three nights and would definitely stay again. They gave us restaurant recommendations due to many being closed for the holiday. He also scheduled a car early in the morning to the airport for us.

Warm, wonderful hotel- feels like family

Mario and Blanca welcome you like family. Our stay was so warm and comfortable. The hotel itself is beautifully done and the room was spotless and comfy. Breakfast was beyond generous and delicious. Communication was excellent- the team is so helpful with any questions, issues, or anything that arose. I felt like I was visiting a relative rather than staying in a hotel. Just delightful.

Spacious, high-ceiling rooms, comfortable beds. The Hacienda has lots of colonial charm with a covered central courtyard and cozy alcove lounge areas. Mario and Blanca are incredible hosts! They made us feel like Casa El Eden was our home. They provided dining suggestions, called us taxis, and generally made our stay delightful. Delicious breakfast is served (fresh fruit, granola, yogurt, excellent coffee, rolls and eggs). I stayed here with a friend but I would also highly recommend it for solo travelers.

Loved loved loved Casa El Eden! The owners Mario and Blanca made us feel at home from the minute we arrived until it was time for us to leave for the airport. Mario gave us some great suggestions for a restaurant and museum that ended up being true highlights for our time in Quito. Breakfast was delicious (amazing local fruit, our own carafes of coffee and hot chocolate, fresh eggs, and more!--> leagues better than the breakfast we had at a 4 star hotel in San Cristobal!), and we felt so well taken care of. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the hotel had a really boutique-y, curated/artsy vibe. Thank you, Mario and Blanca, for a truly wonderful experience.

When you enter Casa el Eden, you truly feel like you’re coming home. The welcome from Mario was wonderful and we received the same care and attention to detail throughout our stay from every colleague we met. Mario and Blanca especially were always eager to ensure that we had everything we needed for a great stay. The room was spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. The bed was big and comfortable, the towels fluffy, the shower pressure perfect. Breakfast was eggs cooked to order with cereal and various local fruits - exactly what you need. We would absolutely return to this boutique the next time we’re in Quito!

A wonderful boutique w/ fantastic owners/operators

Mario and Blanca run a fantastic operation at Casa El Eden. We are just off a four-night stay with them and couldn’t be happier with our visit. Mario could not have been kinder and more helpful. Want something specific? He can help. Laundry needed? Same day. Need a recommendation or info? Done - and/or he calls a friend. He really went out of his way to ensure that our every question was answered, and every need met. He helped arrange airport transportation both ways and even helped deliver some paintings that we acquired in Quito but were not taking with us right away. He stays up late awaiting the taxi driver when he knows you are coming in, and he always beats you to the front door to unlock it and usher you in or out. Just an all-around incredible proprietor and gracious host. The building itself is a refurbished house in Quito’s Old Town, with all of the charm that that entails. The rooms are situated around a central, covered courtyard that fills the space with light. The rooms are very spacious, comfortable, and modern (the bathroom in particular!) Breakfast was always freshly prepared and delicious. After several big dinners, we typically had to eat rather light in the mornings but Mario and/or Blanca were always kind enough to send coffee up to our room when this was the case. I’d give them 10/10 and would happily return to Casa El Eden in a future visit to Quito.

We booked Casa El Eden for one week while visiting Quito to do some climbing on Cotopaxi and Cayambe. We took advantage of utilizing the driver recommended for pickup at the airport. I highly recommend this service. Upon arrival we were greeted at the door by Mario, the owner. I can't say that I have ever met a more gracious host. This man and his wife, Blanca, made our stay at Casa El Eden feel like we were part of their own family. The building itself was remarkable as we were told of the dilapidated state of this hundred year old structure when Mario and Blanca bought it, to its current magnificent restoration. Daily we would sit for breakfast at a communal table and devour one of the healthiest and best tasting breakfasts. At breakfast Mario would inquire about our days activities and make suggestions on transportation, shopping and dining. We used his car service several times which proved to be extremely efficient and cost effective. Upon returning each day either Mario or his assistant Daniel would greet us and ask how our day had been. These inquiries were sincere as everyone at Casa El Eden was interested in us having an excellet vacation in Ecuador. On Christmas Eve we were invited to dine with Mario and Blanca along with there son and daughter in-law. It was an amazing dinner spent with people I truly miss. If you stay in Quito and want a great experience I highly recommend Casa El Eden.

6/10 Good

The hotel is an old converted home with all that it entails. No elevator, steep stairs and no A/C. No coffee in rooms and the location is off the beaten track and isolated at night. The staff was very friendly.

Casa El Eden was perfect. They have thought of everything. The room was meticulously clean, the building is beautiful, but the best part was Mario and Blanca who made us feel like family the moment we walked through the door. We wish we could have stayed longer. Next time! And. Make sure you get to the rooftop patio…!

Casa El Eden is in an old but beautifully updated building. No one should confuse it with a hotel - it has a few idiosyncrasies, but it is a truly special place. The hosts Mario and Blanca are truly warm and welcoming. We felt so well taken care of during our stay.
