The staff at this hotel was so pleasant! Everyone we encountered was smiley, professional, and helpful. The breakfast was great, rooms beautiful, great location within the city, hot showers, enough space to store clothing, and rooms were comfortable temperature.
Cons: like many buildings in this city, this hotel is an antique so if you’re sensitive to noise, then you may want to reconsider since traffic, other outdoor noise, and squeaky floors may keep you up. For me personally it wasn’t an issue but my husband had a hard time staying asleep. The hallway outside our room was extremely squeaky so we heard every step when someone passed our room. A family member stayed in a room without a window which was a bit uncomfortable to them but again maybe personal preference.
Conclusion: would stay here again considering the competitive price, perfect location, and wonderful staff.

We stayed late May in this hotel. It is a beautiful historic place with very convenient location, right in the middle of historic center of Quito. We consider that this site has of the best staff we encountered in our international trips. On the morning we were leaving for the airport, all the streets around hotel were blocked for marathon, our taxi couldn’t come to the hotel entrance. The person at the front desk (unfortunately, do not know his name) helped us to carry our luggage to the taxi that was parked a few blocks away. On a downside, breakfast is basic, the building is squeaky due to its age and does not have soundproof walls. However, I will never hesitate to stay there again.

Well-located hotel with a pretty courtyard , rooftop terrace and historical significance. Amenities basic (just soap shampoo and towels) but the shower was hot with good pressure. Breakfast also basic but well balanced with fresh fruit, fresh juice, bread, eggs and sometimes humitas. They offered upon arrival complimentary wine as Expedia VIP perk which was nice (some VIP hotels don't remember to recognize it). Staff were helpful to store my medicine in the hotel fridge and book a ride to the airport (who showed up on time).

One downside, noise control. It's very quiet generally but since the rooms face the court yard when the reception phone rings any time of day it echos. There was a tour group staying there that met for a departure briefing in the courtyard at 5:30 am and we could hear everything. I don't know what the hotel can do other than to call for courtesy.

Overall, id definitely stay again.

A beautiful and quaint hotel in the historic district. A nice inner yard with plenty of greenery an flowers. Unfortunately there is no bar or dinner restaurant in the hotel, only a breakfast area. Breakfast is also a bit sparse, but will still recommend a stay. Plenty of bars and restaurants close by and nice pedestrian streets.

This is a backpacker hotel, you can't sleep without earplugs. Hallway lights going offa My \"suite\" room at $150 per night was a disaster and i moved out 2 days early. There is no such thing as a \"suite\" in a ba kpacker hotel, just a larger room that is just as bad as all the other rooms. Rude noisy backpakers are loud late at night and early in the morning. Its worth $45 a night, not $150 per night. Its a 1.5 star experience, no sleep, old noisy and sad hotel.

We had an overall very positive experience staying at this hotel. The property itself was nice and generally clean. Housekeeping did a great job with daily service, including making the beds and tidying up the room. That said, there were a few small details that could be improved, such as empty bottles occasionally being left on the patio areas.

Breakfast was simple but good, and it was a nice way to start the day. One minor inconvenience was that getting extra towels sometimes took a bit of time, especially during busier periods.

The location was definitely a highlight. Being situated in the Old Town area made it incredibly easy to walk around and explore, and we found the people in the area to be very friendly and welcoming.

There were a couple of drawbacks worth noting. The hotel does not have air conditioning, which wasn’t ideal, and on a few nights it was quite loud outside. Since opening the windows lets in a lot of noise, it made sleeping a bit challenging at times.

Overall, I would rate this hotel a solid 4 out of 5 for Quito. With just a few improvements, it could easily be even better.

The building itself is the most interesting part of the experience, and worth exploring. It's in a convenient location and offers great views. Our room was comfortable and beautifully furnished.

The staff we encountered are bi-lingual (at least) and very helpful. The breakfasts provided were tasty but also among the healthier I've experienced in a hotel.
We enjoyed our stay and would use this hotel again.

My only criticism is that they are a bit stingy with niceties like pillows (2 hard ones provided; softer available by request), bottled water (none in-room), and washcloths (zero). The built-in hairdryer in Rm 8 is hazardous and should be replaced.

Staff were great and location is great. The hotel is also really cool. One of the oldest residences in Quito. Had a few issues with hot water running out in the middle of the day so shower early or at night. Also I believe people use this as a stopping point for the Galapagos so people are coming and going all hours and can wake you up at 4am because there isn't a lot of sound barrier. Also if you unlucky enough to get rooms 5 or 6 then anyone walking down that hall lights up your room like it's the middle of the day.

This hotel could not be more central and is two blocks from the main square. It’s also near the subway station and the KFC.
There is a supermarket next-door.
The economy room is pretty basic but very adequate for two nights Stay at a very reasonable price.. The public areas are pretty spectacular and look like an aristocratic mansion
My only complaint is the low quality shower which would be an easy and cheap fix. In my experience, this seems to be a failing throughout Latin America.
Exceptionally helpful receptionist who helped me order McDonald’s via the app on New Year’s Day as the restaurants were closed. He was also appreciative that I brought him a free dinner.

The inside courtyard and rooftop area where a plus. Many plants gave everything a warm feeling. Securty was good and we felt safe. We would definitely stay again.
P.S. we were surprised to find no heat or a/c, but the wool blankets on the bed kept us cozy warm. So it was not a problem.

Loved it..

Beautiful place, close-walkabout to plaza, breakfast very good - (Side Note: Off property parking well maybe because we came in at 2:00am was a concern.)

Clean, walkable property to lay your head. Had to park about a mile away. The desk clerk said the walk was \" a couple blocks\". I live in Ecuador, my son came to visit. His first time to Ecuador. Wanted his time here to be special (memorable). Booked a double suite. Gave me a triple suite that was nowhere near a nice room. My room was better. Finally changed rooms. That room was a bit better, but it looked like severe water damage on the ceiling. Normally stay at a different hotel when I have to come to the big city. I will go back to that hotel next time.

Fantastic hotel

The staff were fantastic, they helped me see tour options and arranged the taxi pick up and drop off for the airport run. They explained where things were e.g. the metro station and where my pick up point was for a tour I was going on. They were really friendly and professional, always smiling and happy to help make my stay the best. The hotel itself was also amazing, the atmosphere was really good and friendly. I’ll recommend and will stay again if I’m ever back in Quito. It’s also very close to lots of attractions. Thank you for a great stay.

An incredible historic hotel in the walkable historic center of Quito. The staff were friendly and helpful. They provided great advice and recommendations. They helped set up transportation to the airport. It felt safe and secure and had wonderful access to the roof to see the skyline.

My wife and I stayed four days in an inside room on the second floor street side. The room was large and had very high windows covered with some material to block vision. The hallway was very old hardwood floor and everytime someone walked past the room in addition to their foosteps there was an accompanying sound which I atribute to the loose floorboards stretching. The breakfast was one serving each of diced eggs, bread, fruit and a beverage. After checking in we discovered that the hotel had several upstairs rooms offering panoramic views of Quito. The desk clerk explained that they were all reserved and only the inside rooms were available. My opinion is that the hotel is an ok place and that it would be best to reserve an upstairs room with a view.

A rather charmingly designed old colonial, Spanish style accommodation with responsible, attentive, front desk, shuttle and breakfast service. The roof top view after climbing several small flights of stairs was a thrill. Staying in any of the courtyard area rooms, however, is problematic to say the least for anyone wishing a good night of sleep.
When booking this hotel, guests should specifically ask for any of the upper or alternate rooms and insist they avoid the courtyard rooms. We were in a courtyard room that, like others, did not even have a solid barrier against light or sound, just a thin plastic window covering that transmitted all kinds of unwanted light and noise, from loud courtyard visiting guests to the front desk phone ringing throughout the night. Sleep was at a minimum. Unfortunately, we leave Quito far more tired than we should have.

Such a wonderful place. Just around the corner is Niza cafe - a Quito breakfast staple. What we struggled with was the fact that sound travels, we could hear every conversation of all the guests. Also, if you are there for business, the WiFi signal does not reach the bedrooms - I didn’t mind that.

Very friendly, great location!

All the staff were exceptional. Breakfast was limited but okay. I requested a room with a view, but didn’t realize it was 6 floors up—with no elevator! Do I asked for a lower-level room and got one on the third floor. The next night I moved to a lower floor, however, it was very noisy. Good thing I had my ear plugs. The location is fantastic!

The Good - location, location, location, In the heart of central Quito with a nice grocery store two doors up the street and a decent one across the street, and plenty of good restaurants close by, Room was spacious, had a mini-fridge, an outside patio area, and a central courtyard with seats, tables, sofas and such. The Bad - Not for mobility impaired as there is no elevator. The Ugly - no parking and street parking is often unavailable. If uou want a Hilton or Hyatt type hotel, you will not like the hotel. But, if you want kind of a funky, relaxed, cool experience, you will like it.

The pics posted by Expedia reflect what the hotel looks like. It is an amazing property with great location if you want to be the Colonial or Historic part of Quito but the hotel doesn’t offer any outlets to eat or bar to drink, the room where I stayed at is was super small, they provided with an old, enfasis on the OLD towel, a very very very small soup and that was it. The bed was terrible, noisy and the mattress hard as a rock! I STAYED AT ROOM 23, don’t request or stay on that room. Staff… I don’t even know what to say… I don’t think that I’d like to stay there again

Perfect location in the historic old town. So quaint and beautiful and we felt it was a good value for the money. Went all the way to the top observation platform and flew my drone capturing the rolling majesty of Quito. You can walk to many attractions and lots of food options nearby. I want to stay again.

There is ONE room in the hotel that is like the room shown in pictures. The rest of the rooms have badly worn furniture, very old bedspreads that have faded (couldn’t tell if they’d been washed or not), towels that were shredding due to overuse and the bathrooms are ancient with shower heads that spray random spots of water. For breakers every morning you get 2 eggs (scrambled or fried) with fruit and cold bread rolls. The menu NEVER changes. We were supposed to stay here another 3 nights but cancelled and found a better hotel. At the very least, don’t pay before you get there so that you can cancel if you’re unhappy with your room. I took pictures of the room to share with my review but I don’t see anyplace to add them.

The staff of this location are exceptional. There was delicious made to order breakfast every morning. We relied heavily on the front desk staff since we speak little Spanish. They recommended lunch spots, called us taxis, and helped at every opportunity. The hotel is older but very clean. The front door is locked at all times and the front desk buzz you in and out. This added security helped us to feel safe at all times. I would definitely stay there again and recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a worry free stay.

We loved our stay here. The staff was kind and friendly, even though we arrived very late at night (after 2AM). The beds were very comfortable, and the breakfast was ample. The location was also convenient for walking to the Historic Center. And the view from the rooftop was thrilling! We could see Cotopaxi in the distance. We would absolutely stay here again.

The staff is amazing. They are helpful and will do whatever they can to advise on quick and thoughtful matters.

The building is aged and has challenges expected for the hotel age. Water is not always hot, walls are thin and rooms are not independently heated. It’s a great stay due to the central location however, there’s major road noise.

The hotel is situated in an historic home - unique and quirky. It’s very old, 5th oldest home in Quito, so don’t expect modern amenities. However, the staff were amazingly helpful and the rooms were very clean. It’s a bit loud as located right off a busy street. we were there during Carnival so lots of festivities.

Centrally located

The hotel is centrally located within easy walking distance of many of the main sites in the Historical Center. The staff are friendly and helpful. A couple caveats… if you are in room 8, there is a lot of road noise at all times of the day and night. The floors are very creaky.
