robert
Great location if you don't mind the hike
Cesar was warm and very inviting and a pleasure to get to chat with. Blue door is very close to voto nacional and other great sites, but it does sit very high on a hill which makes exploring on foot a little tougher. Nights in quito get quite cold and it can be especially rough walking to a seperate shared bathroom, although the water pressure was great with plenty of hot water.
Celeste
Great stay and great people
Blue Door is a lovely place. I was comfortable and had what I needed for my stay. Cesar was an excellent host and checked in on me to see if I needed anything. He was very helpful and is super nice. I didn't get to meet his wife until the ride to the airport but she is very sweet and we had a wonderful conversation during the ride.
Luis
The staff, the family that owns the property, were excellent. There is just no other place to stay, unless you want to get ripped off at a boutique chain hotel. Affordable and convenient to everything, especially the Quito landmarks!
Verified traveler
A very interesting visit...
It could have been a bad start, but the family who runs BDH made it right and did so quickly. The room we reserved was taken, so we were somewhat disappointed. However the owner responded immediately and gave us a different room. Pluses: we did get a room. We got it immediately within minutes on a national holiday and at 9am (a very early check-in). We made it to our 10 am walking tour (also pre booked). Later we sat in the open courtyard where guests shared wine, tea, banana bread, eggplant lasagna, and good conversation. One guest was a BBC reporter. Guests were from Canada, South Africa, USA, Russia so indeed a very eclectic mix. Just up the street from the basilica which is visible from all of Quito. Very quiet. Felt very safe. We recommend BDH.
Nancy
Very accomadating hosts, owners. Made me feel very at home and safe. Picked me up from airport for standard fee. Very helpful in anything I needed, genuine and warm people that really care and enjoy helping! They were right there ready to serve! I will always go there on the future!!
Aida
A home away from home
The inside recoration was great, loved the remodeled modern bathrooms, and was very close to main attractions. The owner was friendly, kind, knowledgeable and with a good spirit. He cares to know you as a person not as a tourist. The neighborhood was safe and people were very helpful. Very affordable.

Family friendly hotel near the historical centre
A very friendly hotel. The staff were approachable and the area was very close to the historical centre.

Clean and very friendly owners!
We had a great day! We were there 3 nights. The shower was leaking and was fixed right away the next day. We went for a day tour with them and it was awesome! We would definitely stay here again!

Long walk up but central and nice
Long uphill walk from centro historico but centrally located between there and mariscal. Very comfortable by hostal standards. Very friendly staff. beautiful building and courtyard. Convenient and well equipped shared kitchen. Some rooms with private baths. Others share 2 baths in courtyard. Breakfast for $3 available at affiliated hostal across the street also very friendly and personal.
Gabriel
Friendly owner and quiet neighborhood
Owner was very friendly and was willing to help out when he was around. He sometimes was hard to find as he would have to run between different hostels they run or run the tours they provide to guests. Each day we were there the bathrooms ran out of toilet paper and we couldn't find anyone to replace it and would have to wait for the family to return in the evening to refill.
Room was large and spacious with 3 beds in our accommodation (double/twin bunk and a single twin) and a desk/chair which was nice to have in the room. Our door didn't lock, but the hotel was safe and the owners offered us a locker just outside our room to lock our valuables. The shared bathroom was clean, however the hot water was a little annoying - it runs on an electric shower head heater, but if you turned the water up for pressure the heater couldn't keep up with the amount of water so it was either cold or a low pressure shower with warm water. The owner did mention they are currently renovating and building out new bathrooms (there will be more than 1 shared now) and a new larger kitchen.
Neighborhood was safe and quiet, but not too much nearby. There were a few restaurants a couple blocks away and bodegas on several of the corners. Downtown sites were 15 walking down hill or a $2-3 USD taxi ride.

O quarto é amplo, a cama é confortável e há um frigobar disponível. Está a cerca de 20 minutos do centro, a internet funciona bem e se pode chegar de madrugada para o check in. Pontos negativos: parte de caminho até o centro é uma ladeira bem íngreme; chuveiro desregulado, ora esquentava demais, ora ficava gelado; quarto com claridade de noite e de dia; falta uma boca de fogão na cozinha. Acho que faltou expor as opções do que fazer em Quito para além da oferta de tours oferecidos pelos proprietários (apenas depois de 2 dias a dona me explicou onde eu poderia tomar um bus á metade do mundo desde o jostal. A primeira opção foi tentar me vender um tour com o marido dela).
Jessica
Don César y su esposa son excepcionales, a pesar de que no obtuve la habitación que reservé no puedo quejarme porque me trataron muy bien y se preocuparon por mi, el lugar es seguro y tranquilo, normalmente viajo sola y eso es un gran punto a favor. Hay cocina compartida y las habitaciones tienen lo necesario para una larga estancia, el centro de la ciudad está cerca. Lo recomiendo y volvería nuevamente !
Marjo
Excellent
The room was really comfortable, clean and quiet and we even got a heater. Also hot water in the shower. The location is near historic center and Basilica. The family who runs the hotel is super nice and helpful. We highly recommend this place!
Jorge
Me gusto la manera como el administrador se preocupo por que mi estadia fuera buena.
Linda
Nice and helpful staff!
Very nice and welcoming owners! Nice breakfast, but not included. The area is safe with short walking distance to the historic area.

Todo muy bien. Muy amables

Las personas que atienden el hotel muy amable. Es un hostal familiar así que se siente uno seguro y tranquilo.
Verified traveler
El hotel se encuentra en una zona poco iluminada de noche, algo peligrosa. Hay que tocar timbre para ingresar y puede suceder que no haya nadie para abrir la puerta y tengas que ir a buscar al encargado a su domicilio particular que se encuentra a algunos metros del hospedaje.
