We loved Casa Gardenia, especially the kindness and friendliness of the family proprietors. We had a morning checkout prior to a midnight flight back to the US, but when I felt ill later (altitude plus maybe some suspect shrimp at dinner), they lent me a room, gratis, to lie down in all afternoon while the others went out in search of the Basilica and artisanal chocolate.

Throughout our stays (we were here two weeks earlier on our way to the Galapagos), they were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Before our arrival, they offered to arrange for transport to and from the airport, and our taxi driver was both friendly and totally reliable.

The hotel itself is an attractive mixture of a newer interior in the partial shell of an older building, with views over the historic part of Quito from an open-air deck and the breakfast area. They serve a generous breakfast: fresh fruit, eggs, juice, rolls, and a side plate with olives, ham, and cheese. Cereal and milk are available, and of course coffee and tea.

We would absolutely stay there again if we revisit Quito.

We had an excellent two-night stay. We had two rooms for the four of us, and both were clean, quiet, and comfortable. We enjoyed the mix of old and new in the building's construction. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We'll stay here again when we pass through Quito on our way home from the Galapagos.

Little gem in the clouds

Been here a few times . Great staff and friendly owners. The best view of Quito you can find. Cute hotel in a quaint area of town. Everything you want to do is only blocks away. The new metro in three blocks from the hotel and fantastic. Need anything just ask the owners they are always around and extremely helpful and speak perfect English. If I had one complaint it’s that for us low landers it’s even higher then old town Quito and can make altitude issues for some of us pretty tough. I would suggest they have coca leaf tea available 24/7 and maybe even a basket of coca leaves to chew on. They really help. Besides that it’s a sweet spot.

We loved our stay! The bed is comfortable, the staff are exceptional, and the breakfast was the perfect start to our day. I particularly liked that the hotel reached out to see if I wanted to set up an airport pickup. I did and we really liked our driver Freddy. We ended up taking a day trip with him the next day. This property was perfect for our stay at Quito, however, I have to note the walls were quite thin. Regardless, we would come back!

Quito sojourn

The hotel is located on a quiet street within the Old Town that makes sites and restaurants easily walkable. The building itself has a warm aesthetic emphasized with an open wooden stairwell and rooms that incorporate the original historic walls. The management carried our bags and brought up a lovely bottle of wine, which we enjoyed from a lounge area with magnificient views of the city. Of note, there was also assistance with taxis and excellent eating recommendations.

This was the best hotel stay ever. We are traveling a lot and this really was the best experience ever. Our room was beautiful, very clean and perfect for the couple. Hospitality from the owner and his team was beyond what we could have asked for. They allowed us to check out almost 7h later to avoid sitting at the airport for hours. Breakfast was fantastic, very fresh fruits and delicious pastries. Great location too, we were able to walk to main tourist attractions in the city and to some restaurants. We felt very safe and welcomed. Do not hesitate, this is the place where you want to stay while visiting Quito’s

Great place to stay in Quito old town.

I highly recommend this hotel. It's clean, comfortable, safe, well located in the old town, has great breakfasts, and the owner has been more than helpful and friendly. We felt lucky to have found this place and to have stayed here.

My wife, myself and two friends have been staying at Casa Gardenia for a week. Our original plans were interrupted by the Corona virus travel restrictions. The owner has gone out of his way to get us information about travel restrictions, to help us figure out travel plans, to inform us of where to go to get what we need, and to help us to stay for an extended time. He has given us access to the kitchen and made us feel very welcome and safe. We can't say enough good things about him and the hotel.

Great hotel in Old Town

The staff here goes so far above and beyond that you feel like they are friends and not hotel staff. If the service wasn’t so fantastic, I would give the hotel a lower score. The doors to the rooms don’t block out the noise from the common area. The location is great in Old Town and the open roof area offers great views. I would probably stay again.

pleasant stay in my first time in Ecuador

I had a really pleasant stay here. I like how the staff are so hospitable and catered to my every need. I arrived at 1 am because my flight was delayed for 10 hours but the person who’s on duty patiently waited and helped me with my luggage. The only thing is that since the bed and breakfast is hundred years old. the floors are wooden so you can hear every footstep that u do. It doesn’t really bother me but maybe for some people yes. The room is clean and location is near the city center which is good :)

Will definitely recommend staying here :)

It was a most beautiful, well-kept building. Some of the original stone and wood was evident. The views were spectacular from the floor to ceiling window. The staff was so warm, welcoming and helpful. And the location was perfect, two minutes from the Plaza Grande.

This was the perfect Bed & Breakfast to stay. Walking distance from the Plaza. The B&B itself exceeded my expectations. Very clean and the staff went out their way to make sure your stay is a memorable one. An old sailor like me travels very often as much as possible and I know without a shadow of a doubt when I am In Quito that this is where I will be staying.

This is a beautiful hotel in the historic district. The property is beautifully maintained and the service is excellent, a delicious breakfast is included. There is a gorgeous view of Quito from the breakfast area, a sitting area, and from a terrace. I will definitely choose Casa Gardenia again.

Excellent services and delicious breakfast

All the staff and the owners Andres and Lorena provided excellent services. They always tried to please us and always care if everything is fine. The breakfast is varied and lots of fruits, coffee and tea are available all day. I strongly recommend la Casa Gardenia if you will visit Quito.

Room choice matters

Great service from the staff and breakfast was way better than expected, especially the local fruit. Staying in room 1 made it difficult to sleep due to its location near the breakfast area, front desk, and with wooden floors above staff area. I think the upper floor may not have this issue and make for a great stay, but as it was I needed good sleep to recommend a place.

I did not request a room change, so in all fairness the staff did not have an opportunity to address the issue.

Great location, exceptional staff!

The location is wonderful, and the staff were exceptionally helpful. The room itself is very simple and plain but very clean. There is no safe in the room, which is a definite negative, but the front desk kept the items in their safe. Unfortunately, we got up early one morning and missed breakfast, and the next day we checked out early so I can't review the breakfast.

Excellent stay!

This cute hotel is a great find in the historic center of Quito. Just 5min from the Plaza Grande, the hotel is conveniently located just outside the noise and the hustle and bustle of the main square but still close enough so that you can access all the great sights. The staff was amazing here as well. They were hospitable, polite, professional and extremely helpful when it came to helping us arrange our rides to/from the airport as well as answering our questions about our visit around the city. I would highly recommend this hotel if you plan on staying in the center of Quito.

A respite in a busy city.

Really nice place with rooms built around a patio. Modern architecture, clean lines, beautiful view of Quito from the breakfast area and from the terrace upstairs. Well situated for exploring the Centro Historico. The street on which the hotel sits gets busy in the morning and the evening. Rooms are clean, uncluttered and comfy. The staff were wonderful, full of helpful information, facts potential destinations in the city, etc.

Awesome location. Family owned. The son's who work the desk could not be more professional, polite or helpful. Their parents should be quite proud of the wonderful representation of they portray. The pictures don't do the common areas justice. Stunning atmosphere. Breakfast is fantastic. Truly a first rate experience and a gem. Looking forward to booking my parents here in February.

Best place to stay in Quito

The stay at Casa Gardenia was amazing! there is no other word to describe it. The staff was at the top of their game, very welcoming and ready to assist. The location is key as is in the heart of the historic center and within walking distance of key places to visit.

Beauty and comfort in the historic center. Staff was wonderful and helpful. Good breakfast. Felt the need to hire a cab as the neighborhood seems a bit rough, especially after dark. I was lucky to be able to use their recommended Freddie whenever I needed to, so that was a real bonus.

Boutique style at a fraction of the cost. It has a very beautiful view of the surrounding hills.
Their windows and doors have netting which is transparent. I see curtain rails but they were no curtains. I have requested a room with curtains when I am back in ten days time.

A small boutique hotel, with a renovated loft or glass condo feel to it. The lounge on the second and third floors entice you to get out of your room in the evening and look at the view with a glass of wine (which we did each night we stayed). There was also an outside rooftop terrace which had a great view but the weather didn't allow us to spend extensive time out there. The rooms are modern and clean.Service was great which included arranging some breakfast despite checking out before the official breakfast time. It has a discreet entrance so it is very easy to miss if you haven't been there before. I suggest that if arriving by taxi, have the address and the instructions on how to get there (our taxi driver could not find it). I gave comfort a ranking of 4 instead of a 5 because there is some noise from the street and noise from the hallway floors (which are very nice, rustic planks). You are only a couple of blocks from the plaza (Historical centre). I would definitely stay there again

Lovely b&b in Old Town Quito

This very modern small hotel is on a hill but a quick walk to square where food and action are. Room comfortable with space in living area with lovely view of city available. Staff lovely and English speaking. Breakfast delicious. I would recommend.

Hidden Gem in Old Town Quito

asa Gardenia is a recently opened BNB in historic Quito that feels like a boutique hotel experience tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The location is superb and the rooms are clean and modern in design. The 2nd floor has a sitting area that overlooks Quito with stunning views. The top floor balcony also has stunning views and offers a great way to see the city while relaxing and taking in some fresh air.

Breakfast is delicious and offers many options for a variety of diets. The best asset of Casa Gardenia is the staff. Andres and Paola are so kind, friendly, and very helpful with recommendations. They scheduled transportation to and from the airport with driver Freddie, who was fantastic. The traffic in Quito is challenging to say the least, and Freddie is a pro at navigating.

We loved our experience so much that we cancelled our next hotel in Quito, reserved a room at Casa Gardenia for another stay prior to our departure from Ecuador.

Great location between the cathedral and Old Town plaza. Easy walking distance to most of the museums and places of interest in this part of Quito as long as you can handle the hills. Very satisfied with both the price and the quality of the hotel and would certainly stay again when I am in Quito.

We loved our stay at Hotel Casa Gardenia! The staff was very friendly and it was close to the Old Town District! The only thing that we did not like about the hotel is that our shade covering the door did not cover the whole window so we always had light coming in. The rest of the hotel was great though!

The hotel is within walking distance to the historic center, including the basilica. The views from the hotel are beautiful and the staff is very attentive and friendly. It's a smaller hotel with a lot of character and is well-maintained. They have a driver, Freddy, who is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly...without him, we wouldn't have experienced all of the beauty of Quito and the surrounding areas.
