I would recommend this place to anyone! It was so clean, conveniently located strong the corner from Plaza de Indepencia, and the loft was amazing! I absolutely loved it! Only drawback is the hustle and bustle of the streets. Bring ear plugs and you’ll sleep like a dream!

The property feels very secure and safe. The location is very convenient. Rooms are cleaned daily and the property is very clean as well. The staff are very friendly and very helpful specially Raul who works at the front desk, Christian and Jesus. The free breakfast is delicious.
The stairs leading to my 3rd floor room are a little bit steep. You just have to be extra careful.

Hate to leave this review but...

Let me preface by saying that the staff of the hotel was just excellent. They were well aware of the unfortunate situation in the country and I really felt safe and cared about in their hands.

The only reason for low score is the private bathroom in my room reeked. And for some reason they have those \"closet blind\" doors, which basically stank up my whole room and the situation didn't improve throughout my stay.

Also, the next door guest was a complete moron... blasting radio from 5 AM every morning but that's NOT on the hotel.

Our group had a wonderful stay at Rincon Familiar Hostel Boutique. The property is conveniently located near the historic district in Quito, which made getting around on foot very easy. We really enjoyed walking to the historic district square and having lunch every day. The weather was always so pleasant! The staff was also wonderful and always willing to help out with things like watching/locking up our luggage on our last day, giving us recommendations for things to do in the area, and providing us with fresh towels after we had been in the hostel for a few days. They also helped us locate a COVID testing site the day we were supposed to fly home. Our room was a bit musty and the shower didn't always reliably have hot water but overall I would say the pros greatly outweigh the cons. We would happily stay in this location again!

I did not get to stay there because of the corona virus shutdown. My flight was cancelled. Expedia would know this if they would answer their phones and help me figure out what to do.

Great location and value

Very good location for walking the historic center. Close to pedestrian-only walking areas. Good breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice rooftop terrace. Cheap beverages available. Caveats: If you have any trouble with stairs, insist on not getting a third floor room. And for people not familiar with individually heated shower water, it takes practice. The key is to start a good cold flow for a minute before moving toward hot. Then wait another minute ... and if you then want to reduce from scalding hot, increase flow as you change. If it goes chilly, do the whole process again.

Excellent Location..

The stand out feature of our stay would have to be the front desk service from Raulito. He is right up there as one of the best, if not the best in all our extensive travel. Polite, unassuming, informative, knowledgeable and a nice human being. Our room was adequate for our needs, however the shower would only produce tepid water which was a rare minus for this hostel which also provided a light breakfast. Drinking water was also available for free. WiFi was very good and the room was cleaned daily. Location was perfect for access to amenities and most attractions around the old town area.

A very nice, economical place to stay in Quito, EC

Hotel was good. I experienced no buildings that had interior heat or air-conditioning as Quito has a year round nominal temp range of 50F to 70F, so bring layers of clothing that will keep you comfortable through this range (+/- 5F). Worst was hot water for shower was a bit dicey, but once I got the hang of it I could generally get a comfortable shower with few brief chilly surprises. As I traveled in Ecuador more, I found that this was not an unusual situation. The place was clean, the staff helpful and friendly. The included breakfast was OK but not particularly substantial and the coffee was good. This is a very good location for exploring the Historical El Centro district (old downtown) walking and via public transport. It is not particularly good for night life, but the \"entertainment district\" is a brief taxi ride away. The business district is a bit further away by taxi.

A good value in a nice location.

This was our first trip to Quito and we chose this hotel based on price and location; walking distance from both La Ronda and Plaza Grande in Old Town Quito. The accommodations were small and simple, but comfortable. We chose a room with a private bath which had adequate water pressure and heat. There was no climate control in the room which we noticed was the reason for heavy blankets on our beds that first night. The staff was very friendly. They spoke almost no English, so we did our best with Spanish and charades. If you need to go to the airport early in the morning NOTIFY the front desk - otherwise you will be locked in. That said, the property was very safe and remarkably quite, given the location.

This is an excellent budget hotel in the old town, with kind and helpful receptionists - plus character. My room had an old parquet floor.

Stay at your own risk - you get what you pay for

The room was always cold. The service was terrible. When I checked in I had one towel and one hand towel. The next day after ther cleaned the room, no hand towel. The next day after that, no towel or hand towel. I had to request a towel. The breakfast is prepared for you, which they forget to serve even though they gave me the juice the second day. Cold, hard bed, terrible service, never again.That was the red line for me, I checked early. Don't drink the juice, you will regret It after the second day. The worst.
