The property is decorated in a distinctive and home-y way, with many personal artifacts and a lot of character, in a \"shabby chic\" style. The proprietors are friendly without being pushy; happy to offer advice or assist with tour arrangements or transportation if you want, but not intrusive.

Downsides: our bathroom had issues; randomly no hot water, toilet couldn't be flushed with any toilet paper in it, and the shower was dated. You can't adjust the room temperature directly. Breakfast was pleasant but fairly minimal (e.g. my husband had to ask for butter/jam for his toast).

All in all, a pleasant stay with just a few annoyances.

Spectacular hotel with amazing service!

Out visit to this hotel was outstanding! We stayed for 4 days initially and then left for 4 days to explore the Amazon. We didn’t leave for the jungle until very late and the hotel was kind enough to allow us to keep the room until we left! They stored our luggage while we were gone and gave us a fabulous welcome when we returned! The rooms are large and simply beautiful! The breakfast is wonderful as well. I could not have been any happier with my stay in Quito thanks to the Hotel Antinea. I would recommend this place to anyone coming to Quito❤️❤️❤️

the hotel is unique and has character, though starting to show age. The room itself was clean but terrace was not (bird****, leaves, mold/algae) and the terrace is an upgrade to the room. TV didn't work but wasn't that big of a deal for me. Breakfast was good, staff was great. Pretty good value for the $

Beautiful house, friendly staff & great breakfast.

What a wonderful gem we found in the heart of the city. Our room was decorated in the most amazing way! In fact the house was full of wonderful art and unique architectural details. Breakfasts were quite generous and we especially loved the homemade yogurt. The street was fairly quiet and had mature trees which only added to the ambiance.

Our host Veronica was wonderful and helpful. I have a mobility issue and when Veronica saw that she arranged for a room with easy access. I should have advised her before arrival. I ended up staying a few extra days. Breakfasts were perfect for starting off the day.. Be sure to try the homemade yogurt.
The hotel is well maintained, clean, and has pleasant outdoor seating areas. It was lovely to sit under the trees surrounded by flowers. Pure relax. It is conveniently located to nice restaurants .
If you have any concerns or questions prior to arrival, contact Veronica. .She responded to mine very quickly.
.She arranged safe transport from the airport to the property. Our driver, Edison, was also great.
Overall, a pleasant stay. If I return to Quito at any point, I will stay here.

Wonderful place!

This place was wonderful! The main woman Veronica, spoke English well and took care of everything we needed. Our room was beautiful it was actually a suite with a kitchen. The outdoor parts of the hotel were incredible. The building is very old and has cool features because it’s old. If you want a brand new place this is not the place for you. If you want a very special experience, this is an excellent spot for it.

An Exclusive World in the middle of The World

Amazing, this hotel is in a perfect location, Telmo and Veronica are excellent. Private tours can be arranged if you are interested. The hotel resembles an Old English Cottage, decorated with exquisite taste and in a very good condition. All rooms are different and all with excellent commodities. My favorite are rooms 10 and 11 if you are looking for extra comfort. Parking is onsite free and based on availability. I will stay here again.

Wonderful hotel. Marco at (the front desk) saved us from being stranded in Quito during the corona virus outbreak by waking us at 12:30am to tell us the roads were going to be shut down to the airport at 5:00 am. He got us a cab to the airport at 2:30 am and we made our flight out of Ecuador just before the shut down. Thank you so much!!. We hope to come back again someday when times are better! The Antinea is a beautiful hotel and the breakfast and service were wonderful for the two days we were there.

Excellent helpful staff in good area

The hotel was in a good area of the city but the room was a bit smaller and less comfortable than the photos led us to believe. Beds were a bit small and there wasn't really comfortable seating to just hang out. The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful, despite our total lack of Spanish, and they made up for these other setbacks.

A Charming Hotel Filled with Character

My seven night stay at this hotel was a delight. It has a lovely decor, reminiscent of a french country inn with each room individually decorated. The location is good, near a large selection of reasonably priced restaurants and nightclubs. It is also an easy five minute, inexpensive (three to four dollars) taxi ride to Quito's historic center. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating, especially Veronica. She speaks fluent English and she provides assistance with day tours, airport shuttle arrangements, dining recommendations, activities, etc. The breakfasts were nice: fresh fruits, eggs cooked in any style, freshly squeezed juices and croissants. I definitely recommend this hotel for a memorable experience with that special added touch.

The hotel has wonderful character and charm like a bed and breakfast. Fits the historic feel of Quito. Lots of bars and restaurants near by, mostly for a younger backpackers and young professional quiteños. My room fit the character of the hotel - older but charming. Nice to have a small hot plate (very old but functional), coffee maker, and mini fridge. The tv would not turn on - minor inconvenience. But the shower head was old and not very effective - no pressure. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. The breakfast was a very nice combination of fresh fruit, eggs as you like, breads with house made jamas, coffee or tea, fresh juice.

Unique atmosphere in good location and great staff

We enjoyed our stay in Antinea while in Quito in part because it is well located near the Foch plaza (but still far enough you don't get the noise at night) where you can enjoy good restaurants and lively bars. We ate couple times at Mama Clorinda (good) and Achiote (excellent) and it was only a 5 minutes walk. By the way, the breakfast at Antinea is just amazing with fresh fruits, home-pressed juices, fresh breads and home-made omelets that we devoured before going on our hikes throughout the city.

We stayed in the suite #3 which had a large common area (kitchen, table, sofas) and a small room for the kids. The cons are that there is only one bedroom located on a 2nd floor near the master bedroom so for 4 people that can be crowded. Another thing that we felt could be improved is the quality of the mattresses. Both the bunk beds and king bed have aging mattresses that could be improved (only reason why we did not give it a 5-star review).

Last but not least, the staff is top-notch and always here to help with taxis and things to do (for one they saved our Jan-1 day when everything seemed closed but yet found interesting places to visit nearby Quito).

Stayed for 4 nights. The water was luke warm on the first two nights but it was nicer on the last two. The room has an unusual look (cross between fairytale treehouse and greek/roman decor), but old. Wifi works ok...no English on TV channels. Can hear music from the clubs nearby. Room was spaceous with lots of power outlets (none near nightstand though) Close to lots of restaurants and public transportation. Friendly helpful staffs. Breakfast included (juice and various bread) Hotel offers USD 25.00 one way car transfer from/to hotel from airport.

Good Hotel for a younger party interested clientel

This would have been a perfect place to stay if one is interested in discos and staying out at night. For older couples wanting a relaxing respite after a day of sightseeing, this is not the place for you. The beds are small and hard by USA standards so older couples may have difficulty sleeping comfortably. The young men that work at this Hotel were wonderful and extremely helpful. The breakfast they prepared each morning was always of a superior quality to any we have encountered in our travels. They will always be remembered as making our stay there a welcome and friendly one.

Pictures can be deceiving.... Do your research!!

We stayed here for over a week and even upon arriving I was greatly disappointed. Not at all what the pictures on the web progeny...and for the rate we paid (over 100.00 a night with all the taxes), we could have stayed in a 5 star hotel!!
We are planning on returning to Euador in the future but will never stay here again or recommend it to any one we know!

Great location right near Foch Plaza, but far enough away where the noise doesn't keep you up all night. The hotel has a quaint charm to it that only adds to the value, however, the WiFi is extremely substandard- with at least four different routers thought the property, it's a game of WiFi roulette to get one to work more than a few minutes at a time. Staff was very friendly.

Great place, but was a little hard to find

We had a nice stay, and the service was really great. The only challenge we had was that the address didn't pull up in Google Maps, and the hotel doesn't really have much exterior lighting. We ended up wandering right past it, not noticing it, but once we got in, it was great!

Nice-ish

Room was spacious with a dedicated seating area. Neighborhood was great, close enough to Foch plaza to be an easy walk but far enough for silence.

Negatives: rock hard mattress & the bathroom didn't have any insulation so there was a 15° F difference between the bedroom & it which made it coooold if you had to get up in the middle of the night

Antinea: funky, comfortable, helpful staff.

A couple of days after we arrived, we took a 2-day trip to Mindo for birds, so left our bags at Antinea, to be collected on our return. We needed to change clothes, do some repacking, store the bags again while we went to dinner, then finally get the bags and cab to the airport for a 2 am flight.
The Antinea people handled this cheerfully (though lack of English was a challenge).
The place is funky and comfortable. We would go back.

What's Not to Like?

I'm almost afraid to rate this place, because if it gets too popular, will I still be able to get a room again? . . . Actually, I shouldn't even use the term \"room.\" The \"rooms\" are quite spacious, especially if you pay a few dollars more and graduate to a 35 sq. meter palace, like I did. Good sized bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room, patio balcony. It's not a room. It's a small apartment.

One review I read before I went there said the place was \"squirky\" and antiquated. I don't understand how that's a negative. If your architectural tastes are such that you insist on 21st century contemporary design, then don't stay here. But if you value having your \"space,\" with good, attentive service at a reasonable price, this is the best I've seen in Quito since I first visited in 2000 (before moving here).

Now if I need to be near the airport, sure -- I'll get a room in Tababela, instead. But if I have business near El Centro, this is the place to stay, hands down. It's close enough to Foch Plaza to walk and eat whatever you want, and it's far enough from \"las farras\" to enjoy the peace and quiet.

It was a wonderful two-day experience.
It's where I'll be staying from now on when in Quito on business.

Cleaned up quickly did not have the heart to ask for an extra piece of bread!!! Don't know if this is normal for Quito??? Bathroom and toilet set up very strange, however room quite large, but we did pay for it being large. Internet included in price but only worked intermittingly
