The place was a little hard to find, but our taxi driver helped us. Location is great as it is within walking distance to many places in the Historic Center and close to restaurants. Our room was big and comfortable. The people who worked there were very, very nice. Would definitely stay there again!

8/10 Very good

Amazing hotel in the historic district. Very convenient for walking. The only downside is the walls are thin and the area is busy with cars, buses end motorbikes. It was loud all night.

A great bakery was next door. Staff was very helpful; sometimes no English, so Google translator was very useful.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location convenient to many historic center locations. Very clean property, very nice rooms, and breakfast every morning was quick and delicious. If you don't want noise from the street consider one of the rooms that does not face the square. Our room looked out to the square and we enjoyed that very much, and the balcony doors do well to decrease the noise (road noise decreases greatly after 8:30p). We enjoyed our stay very much and would be happy to visit again.

The hotel is beautiful, situated in old town Quito. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent- fruit, juice, eggs, sweet breads, coffee and tea. We would stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is quaint and has an historic charm. The staff is helpful, welcoming and pleasant . There is a very nice breakfast in a nice space on the roof top. The hotel is on a busy square, so at least from our room it was a bit noisy. Then again part of the charm, here, is the old town location.

The property is centrally located in Quito. The staff provided excellent service. The establishment offers a rustic and charming ambiance, truly reflecting Ecuadorian culture. Please be advised that while there is no on-site parking, several parking lots are available nearby. We found the rates to be approximately $1 per hour and $5 for overnight parking. I would suggest this location for those who appreciate being within walking distance of various attractions.

10/10 Exceptional

This is an absolutely beautiful property, meticulously maintained, with loads of charm. Our room was huge and the view was wonderful. Breakfast was tasty, and you are within an easy walk of the historic plaza. What to know before you go... this is on a busy street, and we heard traffic all night long. Also, because the building is old, we could hear every footstep of the guests above us. Bring earplugs and everything else will be wonderful.

Great little hotel in the historic area of Quito. Very walkable and also close to a subway entrance (San Francisco) to get to other parts of the city. Staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. The arranged for an airport pick-up for us and also an early morning ride to the airport when we were leaving. Delicious breakfast included as well.
