We really enjoyed our stay. We had the Amazon (luxury) room and it was great. Loved the bed ! Firm and really comfortable! Soaker tub and complimentary wine was also nice. Freddy in the restaurant and all staff were great. We walked to centre of old town from the hotel within 10-15. We felt safe in and around old town Quito. Previously we were in Brazil, so this was a nice change. While elevation isn’t super high (2800m approx) we did get altitude sickness for about 18 hours. We dint expect it so we didn’t take medicine in advance, but when we did, it helped. Breakfast was nice. Pretty simple but nice ham & eggs, etc.

This hotel is so friendly. It's a very small hotel that trips you like a member of their family.
Fair warning, the single rooms that don't include breakfast are low budget. it's a closet, but once I upgraded (<$50 a night for the upgrade) it was a double bed, nice bathroom, and it included the breakfast (which is nice).
The biggest thing this hotel has going for it is the staff! I arrived at 3am, and they knew when I was I going to get there, and they were waiting for me . They serve breakfast, and have a restaurant, but I never took advantage. There are some very nice restaurants within a block from them (get the lasagne at the Italian restaurant close to it).

Cons- Lots of street noise, big buses and traffic all night right under windows. No heat or AC. Maid came into my room even after I requested privacy. I didn’t like the food at all. Limited choices for breakfast.
Pros- Freddie was very nice and helpful. It’s a beautiful renovated mansion. Historic

Room was very clean, charming and comfortable. Interior of hotel is quiet. Rooms on front are much more exposed to street noise during the days.
Hotel was very accommodating and arranged for transportation from airport and on to our next destination in Mindo.
Breakfast was cooked to order, plentiful and delicious.
We ordered dinner one night and it was excellent too.

This hotel is a fantastic place to stay. It is a small family owned business close to everything. The management is very friendly and helpful, anything you need they will do everything they can to help you. The food is equal to a gourmet resturant. If you have a special need or request they will do everything they can to accommodate your needs. Definitely the place you want to stay when your in Quito.

Lovely hotel with old world ambience--very clean!

We were very happy with our stay at Casona 1914. It's a lovely hotel with Great staff and very spacious and comfortable rooms--and very clean! We were recovering from our arduous trip, and one day we just stayed in the room almost all day, and it felt pleasant. The coffee at breakfast was really good, and there were several choices on the breakfast menu. When it came time to leave they gave us a late checkout which really helped with our schedule for the day. We were able to walk down to the Plaza Grande, and there were restaurants close by.

Excellent service, nice room, fantastic breakfast

I arrived on Sept 14 night, and the owner was very friendly. She was already waiting for my arrival.
As my flight leaving for Santiago, Chile is after midnight, I was a bit nervous to ask the owner whether I could leave my luggage after check-out, she was very generous to allow me to stay late till I leave for the airport at 21:00 tonight. That really impressed me.
I would like to recommend this long-history hotel to any travellers who want to explore Quito. Excellent service, comfortable room, fantastic breakfast, and reasonable price.
Also the big dog staying in the backyard is called “Moto”.
I hope I would come back again soon..

Lovely old mansion close to old town

Beautiful old mansion house converted to a lovely hotel. It was very quiet when we were there with just 1 or 2 other guests, but they looked after us well. Rooms newly redecorated (we loved the Galápagos room with undersea mural and in room clawfoot bath. Walkable to old town (15 minutes) and basilica (5 minutes) but not at night. On edge of nice small park Almeda. Breakfast fabulous with local hot dish choices as well as continental. Dinner was good with good choices presented nicely although one was not too well cooked. Empanadas amazing!

Beautiful colonial home that has been converted into a hotel. Most of the rooms are, generally, upscale and inclusive, but the dormitory-style rooms at the top are an excellent low-cost option! You receive fewer amenities and you share bathroom and shower facilities, but this is a familiar scenario to eco-travelers. These rooms are a step up from a hostel, but they are priced similarly and you receive all the additional hotel perks! For the price, these rooms are an excellent value. The hotel is conveniently located next to the Centro Histórico and there are many attractions within walking distance. The neighborhood seems relatively safe, but the hotel maintains a tightly secured entrance and has staff on hand 24 hours a day in case you need assistance. There is almost no nightlife to speak of in this area, but there are MANY initmate, inexpensive restaurants close by. While I would recommend brushing up on your Spanish for getting around Quito, the hotel staff is fluent in English and is more than willing to help you out. I would absolutely LOVE to stay at this hotel again in the future.

Hotel Casona 1914, Quito – A Perfect Blend of Charm and Comfort

I had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Casona 1914 in Quito, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel is located in a beautiful historic building, full of character and charm, yet offers all the modern amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. The location is ideal—situated close to Quito’s vibrant Old Town, making it easy to explore the city’s cultural landmarks, restaurants, and shops.

What truly sets Casona 1914 apart is the impeccable service. The staff is incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to offer assistance or local recommendations. They made me feel right at home, and their warmth and hospitality truly enhanced my stay. The rooms are spacious, elegantly decorated, and immaculately clean, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. The beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep.

Breakfast was another highlight—fresh, delicious, and with plenty of local options. I appreciated the cozy atmosphere in the dining area, which added to the hotel's overall charm. The attention to detail and personalized touches throughout the hotel really make it stand out.

If you're looking for a place that combines the elegance of a historic property with modern comfort and outstanding service, Hotel Casona 1914 is the perfect choice. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Quito!

I can’t recommend this hotel enough. It was small and charming, giving the opportunity to experience this beautifully restored and graceful old city architecture.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The staff were friendly and very attentive, providing us with excellent restaurant recommendations. We used their laundry service and that was very quick and great value. We also had excellent breakfasts in a lovely room overlooking the garden, every day of our stay.

The hotel itself is a beautiful building and really close for walking into the Old Town of Quito.

As noted in some other reviews, our room was at the front of the building and it was incredibly noisy from about 6am until about 10pm. We stayed in a Luxury Room and if you are not an early riser or are a light sleeper, I would recommend booking a different type of room that is away from the front of the property. The other rooms looked very nice.

If you are thinking of staying in Quito, I’d definitely recommend staying here.

I can’t speak well enough about the quality of the service and accommodations here. The staff, again and again, went above and beyond to make our stay special. Their English is fabulous too which really helped my rudimentary Spanish.

The dining area is lovely and the breakfasts satisfactory. We didn’t realize at first it’s not just the food set out on the buffet style table. There’s also a main dish cooked fresh to order for you.

We stayed in the Galapagos Suite. The bathtub is incredible! It gets traffic noise from the street though so if your a light sleeper an internal room might be better. Overall it was worth it though for the king sized bed and tub.

We used their transfer service to and from the airport and was very pleased. Their driver was prompt, knowledgable and genuinely kind. The cars were very comfortable. The special touch of having some water and soda ready for us made a difference.

The courtyard in the back is a little oasis from the hustle and bustle of Quito. It even comes with a sweet German Shepard who hasn’t quite figured out he has to drop the ball before you can throw it for him.

I’d you’re thinking about staying here don’t hesitate. Book now. You won’t be sorry.

We really enjoyed our recent 4 night stay a a prelude to visiting the Galapagos.

The service by the whole family and staff was excellent and the breakfast was fresh and filling.

They arranged transfers for us from the airport and back to the airport and local taxi transportation.

It is an easy 15 minute walk to the center of old town and we enjoyed sipping our own bottle of wine on the outdoor 4th floor with a view of town and the basilica.

We would have liked a dresser in the room as there was not really space to unpack our suitcase.

Lovely Quito Boutique Hotel at a Terrific Rate

I spent two nights at Hotel Casona, to enable my visit to Quito before my trip t the Galapagos. The hotel arranged for Carlos to pick me up at the airport at midnight and it was reassuring to have him there after my very long trip to Ecuador.
Damian, the hotel manager, was waiting for me when I arrived and was gracious in having everything prepared for my arrival, even at that late hour. He arranged for a private guide to provide a tour of Quito and its environs the next day. Breakfast was ample and delicious and included made-to-order eggs and fruit and a variety of bread, and cereals. I managed to find time to utilize the hotel spa and had a relaxing massage.
My single room was small but well-appointed, with a super comfortable bed, pillows and bedding, and a lovely rain shower, with beautiful toiletries. I couldn’t have asked for more.

The hotel is lovely, and the staff makes every effort to tend to the needs of their guests, and it shows! I would absolutely recommend you stay here on your trip to Quito.

We chose Hotel Casona because it was centrally located to the historic district, but it was so much more! From the non-descript exterior we entered a beautiful interior courtyard. They greeted us with lavender towels and a refreshing tea to assist with the elevation. Damian was the master concierge who assisted us with dinner reservations (La Vid was superior) massages and even with laundry after a muddy hike to Rucho Pichancha. We celebrated our anniversary too, and they surprised us with a bottle of red wine. Our room was beautifully appointed, extremely quiet, the bed was one of the most comfortable and the morning breakfast was absolutely perfect. We plan to visit Quito again and will absolutely stay at Hotel Casona again. Thank you Damian for making our stay extra special! The personal attention makes all the difference.

As I've travelled around Central America I've been introduced to a category of hotels I've never used before. They are somewhat non-descript from the outside but once inside you're welcomed into a sanctuary. Hotel Casona 1914 excels in this style of boutique, family run hotels. We were treated like family, our rooms were beautifully appointed with cute this glass bottles filled with shampoo, conditioner and lotion, such a nice environmental touch. The bed extremely comfortable and the entire hotel super clean. The breakfast was very good, the usual, fruit, toast, and freshly made eggs with a selection of juice, tea and coffee. The breakfast room felt elegant and sophisticated but welcoming and comfortable at the same time.

The manager Damian could not have been more hospitable he answered every question, gave us excellent recommendations and managed our transportation and antigen test needs. He felt like a friend you've known for a long time, someone who sincerely wanted you to enjoy their home and city. What more could you ask for in a hotel!

This hotel is a superior hotel. If is nicely appointed, has exemplary service, and gourmet food. This is the type of hotel you would expect to charge $350 a night. If you want to know more, read on. This hotel is elegant. The room smells like flowers, the sheets and towels fresh and sweet. There are ample towels, robes, slippers. fresh water. The bathroom is modern with rainfall shower. When we arrived we were tired and they suggested room service. For $30 we had a 4 course meal served to us on a cloth covered table. This was gourmet food. Delicious carrot soup, sorbet, chicken over risotto, cardamom mousse dessert. Outstanding. It was a chilly evening and they brought in a space heater and hot tea. Damien treated us like royalty. He arranged taxis, and attended to our every need. We had to get covid tests before leaving and he walked us down to the lab, filled out the forms for us, translated for us and made sure everything was ok before he left to go back to the hotel. The attention we were given was unbelievable. The stay includes breakfast which is wonderful. They offer coffee, tea, toast, cereal, yogurt fresh fruit, fresh juice, etc and also a hot breakfast of eggs and potatoes. Hotel is very close to the historic section of Quito. The view out our window was the Basilica del Voto Nacional. I can't say enough about this beautiful hotel and the caring staff. This Is THE PLACE to stay in historic Quito.
