Comfortable,great location,easy airport transfer.

We had an amazing time in Quito staying at the hotel. Lovely building with interesting furniture and art. Bedroom was comfortable and extremely clean. Lovely bed, excellent views . Shower was hot and hotel provided us with a heater when it got chilly. David the manager and he's partner pierrina are very helpful. We were met at the airport by pierrina, the transfer was easy. Quito itself was wonderful, so much to see and the architecture is devine. It's lovely to walk around the old town . Rosa served us a delicious breakfast every morning.

Luxurious hotel stay

Casa San Marcos hotel was amazing! Such beatiful building ( was build in 1702) with all its antiques, arts all over and modern amenities for very special and unique stay.
We felt we were staying in a castle two centuries ago though with all the modern day comfort and luxury.

Pros: The property was really unique, it was beautifully decorated. The room was amazing with an incredible view of El Panecillo, the staff were very kind, and the breakfast was really good.
Cons: We were the only ones staying at the hotel for four nights, it was a little odd. Staff didn't have any local restaurant recs other than the very touristy options (handed us a promo flyer when we asked). The staff were not bilingual as it says in the hotel info, and this caused a lot of confusion particularly with our bill at the end. Lastly, this area is unsafe in the evening, can't walk around at night.

We loved our stay at Casa San Marcos! The hotel is a gem, historical, and interesting as a building, spotless and clean with a lovely breakfast room. The service was wonderful. The hotel is very safe and secure and you can easily walk around the Old Town from here. At night, there are several restaurants within a block so you can go back and forth safely. We loved looking at the statue from our window. If good luck brings us back to Quito, we will stay here again.

Absolutely stunning property filled to the brim with gorgeous curated antiques unlike any place I’ve stayed before, with a sense of interior design that surpasses many of the world’s best hotels. Add to that a wonderful staff and beautiful views. Just a five-minute walk from the square but so remarkably quiet setting. Truly an unparalleled experience!

It was great experiece to stay in a boutique hotel with only 10 rooms whic was very well maintained. We stayed in Galeria Mirador room and loved the view of Panecelio. It had beautiful antique furniture and paintings, felt like we were transpoted to 300 yrs back in time. The owner was very courteous and took us on a tour of the history of this place. The service, David was great. The breakfast was home cooked and was awesome. Its located close to the city centre and very convienient. Our stay was an amazing experience.....

I planned a 2 night stay at Casa San Marcos in Quito on the 11th and 12th of June 2021. We had 2 rooms as I stayed with some friends. Our stay was uncomfortable and I would not recommend this hotel for any future business. We showed up, dropped off our luggage and went to dinner. For perspective, I travel to other countries several times a year and understand the importance of comfort and customer service.

Dangerous conditions and extremely sensitive antiques:
The hotel is littered with seemingly expensive pieces of furniture, paintings, and other antiques. We stayed in rooms 1 and 3. Room 1 had a very heavy room divider and there was only a short distance between it and the bed for access to the room. This piece was not placed in a safe location and after it was inadvertently touched, it fell and could have injured me or any tenant severely.. The hotel was adamant we need to pay $80 cash for this piece, but was unable to place it on a credit card or deliver an invoice. Reportedly this several hundred pound piece of furniture is worth $3000 and the damage we caused was a reported $80, but after discussion, Paulina was able to lower this to $40. This inconsistency and her aggressive style started the discomfort that followed.
Accountability and hotel leadership, doesn't exist. We left the hotel in the middle of the night, scared what could follow up after a spending a night here and the charges , they can come up with. So please choose a different hotel.

This hotel is beautiful. Like staying in your own private museum. The breakfast area is gorgeous and rooms are big and tastily decorated. All staff was wonderful and they even upgraded us to a bigger room because we were traveling with a baby.

My only recommendation is to change the system to notify someone is at the door. Guests are not provided a key of the hotel front door and they have to ring the door to be let in. That's understandable, they want to make sure the hotel is secure. But we could hear the bell ringing

He shared his knowledge of Quito while driving us to the various sites to see. We thank all who helped make our stay so enjoyable.

Great hotel in Historic District

It is a lovely hotel in an old mansion in the historic district. While it does not have the same level of creature comfort as a modern luxury hotel, it does give insight into the luxury of 150 years ago - and isn't that why you are visiting an historic district. The staff were very friendly and eager to go out of their way to be helpful. I suspect the number of stars this review generates underestimates our opinion of the hotel.

The staff was friendly, helpful, courteous and very responsive to our needs/requests, including going out of their way to arrange a visit to Otavalo for us. The hotel is a very unique charm and character and it felt we were a part of a historic 200 year home. The property is undergoing renovation so some improvements are be made. Located in Old Town Quito. Great choice to stay.

History and friendliness in Centro Historico

What a fantastic and unique hotel in the historical area. The concierge Stephanie explained the history of this 300yo hotel as she gave us a guided tour and we were fascinated by the art collection and curios on display. All of the staff were extremely friendly, polite and helpful. They also gave us excellent recommendations - which sites to visit (even giving us a map and lending us an umbrella), a great bar/restaurant to try - Santa Rosa Cerveza Artesanal (a spot on recommendation it felt just like home & they had great beer & food, thank you I've forgotten the gentleman's name sorry) and which beer to try in the hotel bar. There were great views of the Virgen de Quito from both the hotel bar and our room, El Altillo. The only downside was unfortunately the raked ceiling in our room was too low for my 183cm partner and there was a slight privacy issue with this room for us to feel completely comfortable. Otherwise, everything was fantastic and we would highly recommend Casa San Marcos to everyone.

A jewel in Centro Historico!

Casa San Marcos is a gem! It is like an old home, with gorgeous antiques and decadent decorations. The location is just a couple of blocks from Plaza Grande in the Historic Center. Very walkable with good cafes and restaurants within a block or two. We stayed in the Geranios Deluxe Suite, which is really one big room with a king sized bed in one section, separated from a twin bed by an ornate wooden screen. The furnishings are truly beautiful and over-the-top. The only downside is that the room faced the street and there is street noise pretty early in the morning (the Historic Center is very quiet at night -- almost no noise at all between 10pm-6am). The manager of the hotel is incredibly kind and will take care of anything you need. I highly recommend this hotel!

Beautiful small hotel with excellent staff.

This is an amazing hotel. Our room had high ceilings, beautiful art, a balcony, a modern bathoom with views of the Panacillo, and great beds. The breakfast every morning was very good. The common areas are beautiful and comfortable. But, I have to say that the best part of the hotel was the excellent and friendly staff who made our stay very pleasant and helped us pick some activities throughout the city. The only problem was the weak WiFi in our room, but they said that was being upgraded in the next few weeks. The location is a few blocks from the large cathedrals and president's palace.
