Wonderful hotel. Beautiful old building. Centrally located for the old town. Staff are really friendly. Rooms are well appointed and clean. The altitude gets you on the walk up the stairs but you get acclimatised quickly! The dining room has the best views in the city. And the breakfasts are really delicious. And the chef is fantastic at altering the offering for any dietary. Highly recommend

The location of this property is ideal and walkable to everything you need or want to see in Old Town Quito. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. The breakfast on the rooftop is different each day which is an added benefit. Staff are extremely helpful and well organized. We recommend this property.
