The hotel is well located in the old city. Despite a language barrier at times the staff were helpful and responsive. I ordered a taxi from the airport with the hotel but it did not come, not that it was a problem as plenty of taxis were available. The breakfast was very good. Room 9 has a window above the door and light streamed in whenever the sensor lights outside came on. This impacted on sleep quality. On balance we would stay there again.

This property has character! Not one of your generic type place. Location was excellent for visiting all historic places. Place was clean although old style. I felt safe walking around (after getting advice on areas) by myself as a single woman. The free breakfast was like B B, very homely. Views from terrace are great. Only complaint is that water could be hotter in bathroom sink and shower. It was doable but would have preferred hotter.

Best possible service

The service at this hotel was flawless. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The decor is the hotel was beautiful. The breakfast was wonderful. I highly recommend the tour to Antisana if you like nature away from the crowds. The only negatives were the uncomfortable pillows and the occasional sewer gas from the bathroom (only 1 evening and you can keep the bathroom door shut). Don't let that dissuade you - I would recommend it and stay here again. Ask for a room off the main Street so you can open the window.

Lovely little hotel

We stayed here for one night upon arrival in Quito. The gentleman working the night we arrived was extremely kind and helpful, going the extra distance to show my husband where to park and walking back with him to make sure he was safe. The hotel was lovely and our room was spacious. Breakfast was delicious and the location was great. We highly recommend this hotel for exploring Quito!

Loved the history and decor of the hotel. The only recommemdation I have is it lacked storage space in the bathroom of room 8. For 4 adults with toiletries one shelf is not enough the bathroom was a nice size maybe adding more shelving or a small cabinet.would be helpful. One of my favorite stays!

Old colonial style building, the room and bathroom were very spacious. Good breakfast with fresh produce (fruit, juice, bread, etc). Staff were extremely friendly, also helped us with local excursions. Great location in historic centre, within 10 min walk from Placa Grande. Excellent value for money.

Very antique hotel, nice homey touches throughout. Very helpful people. Our main grove was the loud music until 3:30-4 am from the la Ronda restaurants and music. Had to sleep in with my AirPods in. Otherwise is a nice location if someone want to stay in old town.

We had a great 2-night stay in this beautiful property and we would totally recommend it. It was quiet and clean inside the casa. Staff was very friendly. We felt safe. Outside walking distance were supermarkets and restaurants. It was also a pleasant walk to the old town. We had a tiny problem with our airport pickup, but the staff responded immediately on WhatsApp and fixed it within minutes. Free drinking water dispenser was a plus. Suggestion: simple lunch menu and drinks on the rooftop would be great

This is a quaint family run hotel with a history that dates back to the 15th century. What it lacks in amenities (no in-room fridge, microwave, or coffee maker) it makes up for in charm, hospitality, and comfort. There’s a mini-market across the street, several local restaurants in the area, and you can walk to the Basilica, Grand Plaza, and Metro within 10-15 minutes - but the elevation in Quito did have me breathing heavy, so prepare for that. As a single woman, it felt a bit sketchy after dark (not many people on the street in front of hotel and some homeless asking for money), but overall, I enjoyed the stay. I was very appreciative of the staff meeting me at the door, and ensuring I was safe while waiting for my late night uber to the airport. Breakfast was also excellent.
