Spacious rooms in the town center
This was a lovely spot in a fabulous location in the Old Town. Unfortunately it was the Light Festival where every surrounding street shuts down and thousands of people swarm the streets. I wish they had given us notice about this since! Our 2nd room had no window which wasn’t great and there was no fan or AC so it was a little stuffy. Incredible old building, large rooms and bathroom, amazing views from the roof and our balcony though.

The hotel is very central - although didn't really go out much every after my tours for security reasons. The property is very much secured - although it was a challenge getting in, I was lucky a lady showed me where the door bell is. If there are loud guests, unfortunately you will them from your room. I love the breakfast! Although they don't really change towels even if you leave them in the floor. Mind the shower floor as it can get really slippery.

Beautiful hotel and very nice staff. Always very helpful with holding a bit of extra luggage when we were away to Galapagos and also getting us taxis to and from the airport. Also, they can arrange a day tour around Quito with an English speaking guide. We did 3 outings with Alexander who was really fun and knowledgeable about the area.

This is a very cute hotel with a lovely view and a roof top terrace for enjoying breakfast. However, it’s dangerous in the surrounding area at night snd when we arrived they ushered us to our room without giving us any towels, water or any food option. The staff wanted to be helpful but didn’t speak English. The breakfast on the terrace made it worthwhile, though.

They offered a driver / guide trips to various locations through the hotel which we found easy and convenient to see some main sites. The breakfast was good on a roof top cafe. Quaint hotel offering cultural flair. Only issue was the wooden floors and the sound of everyone walking and waking us . Nice staff.

This hotel was a peaceful oasis in the heart of a bustling area. I especially enjoyed all the greenery and the breakfast with a view. It was really convenient to be able to walk to a number of shops, panaderias, grocery stores, etc. Personally, we felt safe walking around this side of Quito. But as an added measure of security, this hotel has locked doors that you need your hotel key to enter. So that was a nice touch for peace of mind. Since the hotel is in an older building, there is a lot of creaking from the floorboards. Just something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper. And the light fixtures could use some updating; we had to jimmy the lamps to stay in place or they would turn off. But overall, this was a great little spot to start our tour of Ecuador. If you stay here, make sure you check out the rooftop views!

Excellent location. Beautiful place full of charm that brings you back hundreds of years ago. Very friendly staff and fantastic owner. The only thing negative was that breakfast was only from 7 to 9 am which is a bit short because of the needs of the guests especially if they need to take an early flight
