Amazing hotel in the historic district. Very convenient for walking. The only downside is the walls are thin and the area is busy with cars, buses end motorbikes. It was loud all night.

At entering another woman entered too and as my son heard a zipper being opened turned to the bags and noticed the woman leaving. He then noticed one of our backpack tops open. When we addressed it the young man he remarked that we should have been paying attention… we then asked to see the video in which the woman was around our bags blocking the view with an envelope. The young man claimed he saw nothing. If anything he should have been kinder as we were in his hotel when this happened. The rest of the staff was lovely!

Amazing location convenient to many historic center locations. Very clean property, very nice rooms, and breakfast every morning was quick and delicious. If you don't want noise from the street consider one of the rooms that does not face the square. Our room looked out to the square and we enjoyed that very much, and the balcony doors do well to decrease the noise (road noise decreases greatly after 8:30p). We enjoyed our stay very much and would be happy to visit again.

El personal del hotel tanto en recepcion como en el area del desayuno muy amables, cordiales y serviciales. Ademas tienen perfecta ubicacion para llegar a los sitios turisticos y justo a una cuadra de la calle La Ronda donde se puede pasear y encontrar lugares para comer.

We loved our stay here! Breakfast every morning was excellent. Staff is friendly and kind. Our room was amazing. I would suggest, getting the double deluxe room. There was at least one room that did not have windows. For the difference in price, having a large, beautiful room and small balcony was well worth it. If we’re ever in Quito again, we will absolutely stay here and have already recommended it to someone else going. Its location is perfect as well. So close to everything!

The property is centrally located in Quito. The staff provided excellent service. The establishment offers a rustic and charming ambiance, truly reflecting Ecuadorian culture. Please be advised that while there is no on-site parking, several parking lots are available nearby. We found the rates to be approximately $1 per hour and $5 for overnight parking. I would suggest this location for those who appreciate being within walking distance of various attractions.

The hotel is quaint and has an historic charm. The staff is helpful, welcoming and pleasant . There is a very nice breakfast in a nice space on the roof top. The hotel is on a busy square, so at least from our room it was a bit noisy. Then again part of the charm, here, is the old town location.

This is an absolutely beautiful property, meticulously maintained, with loads of charm. Our room was huge and the view was wonderful. Breakfast was tasty, and you are within an easy walk of the historic plaza.

What to know before you go... this is on a busy street, and we heard traffic all night long. Also, because the building is old, we could hear every footstep of the guests above us. Bring earplugs and everything else will be wonderful.

Hotel was in a great location and easy to walk to everything! Breakfast was simple but delicious. Staff were helpful. However, communication prior to the stay was very poor (taking days or weeks to respond, if at all) and then even though they confirmed in writing that they would pick us up from airport, they never showed up! We were left waiting at the airport at 3am and ended up catching a taxi. Also, our toilet (room 10) was faulty the whole time and wouldn’t flush properly. Everytime we mentioned it, they came to ‘fix’ it but it would only last one or two flushes and then not work again. No attempt to move us or offer compensation.

Lovely boutique hotel close to a street full of restaurants and the old city. It is a little challenging for taxis to collect directly at the hotel, but this is because of narrow busy streets and to be expected in this part of town. Just something to be aware of, but a good trade-off to be able to stay in this area. Great breakfast, helpful staff, and our room was maintained beautifully. No complaints.

Lovely room in a 500 year old hotel. Big rooms, but also couches and armchairs in the shared balconies and courtyards.

Right next to La Ronda - which was disappointing. Allegedly the arts precinct full of music, but instead full of pizza places and karaoke. Spent most of my time in the hotel - lucky it was such a nice place

Location was super convenient to the Historical Center and La Ronda Street restaurants. Inside the hotel was like being in a museum and I believe they are opening a museum in 2026 with all the artifacts srounds the hotel. Breakfast was awesome every morning. Front desk extremely helpful.

Bed was comfortable. Location is great and rooms are quiet. We enjoyed the breakfast. I especially like the fruit bowl every morning.

Be ready with exact cash if you need a late check out or earlier check in, as they do not have change.

I give Hotel Casa Alquimia 5☆ because there are no more stars to add. I absolutely loved my stay there with my family. Andre was very responsive and accommodating and all of the staff was extremely nice and helpful.
I really appreciated the hotel's added service of being picked up and dropped off at the airport for a reasonable price. Additionally, I waited last minute to book a tour so there were no available tours for the days I wanted, but I didn't know that the hotel also offered a variety of tours that luckily I was able to book very quickly with the help of management. I was very grateful for our tour guide Yoel, and driver Manuel who were very professional, knowledgeable and fun to be around. They took us to \"Baños\" were my family and I enjoyed several activities all strategically put together to get the best nature experience I could asked for. My kids completely loved this adventure Yoel prepared for us, the restaurant he suggested and the patience to answer all our questions about the country.
Finally, the hotel is so beautiful and conveniently located. Everything inside the hotel looks cozy, nicely decorated and well-preserved, keeping its original style intact.
Breakfast was delicious, fresh, healthy and prepared by the nicest people ever.
I never thought I would fall in love with Quito so much. Whenever I come back to Ecuador, I'm definitely coming back Hotel Casa Alquimia. I'm really thankful to them for making our stay so unique and memorable.

This hotel is nothing short of excellent. It was very affordable. Our room was huge and the beds were super comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. The whole hotel was beautifully decorated. The staff were friendly and so helpful with everything. We were not far from restaurants, shopping and a mini mart. I’d come back to Quito just to stay here.

This is a very lovely ecuadorian style hotel, with very friendly staff. It has marvelous decorations all over, the beds are comfortable, the showers are hot. It does not have elevators, but the staff happily carried our bags to the third floor, where our room overlooked a plaza. The breakfast was made to order with a marvelous bowl of fresh fruit. It is right in the heart of the old city and was quite safe to walk at night. It was so nice to stay in a hotel that was different from the cookie cutter american type of hotel.

We had a great stay at Hotel Casa Alquimia. The staff was fantastic. The hotel itself was historic and decorated artfully. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The hotel is well located in the historic center of Quito. All the main squares, churches and museums were within easy walking distance. It was easy to get a cab or the Metro to go further. The street out front was lively (and quite noisy) during the day. We would definitely, happily, stay there again.

Everything was great from start to finish. The room was well equipped, the beds were firm but comfortable. The pillows were probably some of the best I've ever had at a hotel. The breakfast was fabulous! Eggs made to order, fresh fruit, fruit juice, hot chocolate, coffee, bread with butter and cheese. Very good and filling. All of the staff were awesome and a special thanks to Andres (I apologize if I've misspelled his name), who gave us great tips on how to see the attractions we were interested in.

The hotel is well located in the old city. Despite a language barrier at times the staff were helpful and responsive. I ordered a taxi from the airport with the hotel but it did not come, not that it was a problem as plenty of taxis were available. The breakfast was very good. Room 9 has a window above the door and light streamed in whenever the sensor lights outside came on. This impacted on sleep quality. On balance we would stay there again.

This property has character! Not one of your generic type place. Location was excellent for visiting all historic places. Place was clean although old style. I felt safe walking around (after getting advice on areas) by myself as a single woman. The free breakfast was like B B, very homely. Views from terrace are great. Only complaint is that water could be hotter in bathroom sink and shower. It was doable but would have preferred hotter.

Best possible service

The service at this hotel was flawless. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The decor is the hotel was beautiful. The breakfast was wonderful.
I highly recommend the tour to Antisana if you like nature away from the crowds.
The only negatives were the uncomfortable pillows and the occasional sewer gas from the bathroom (only 1 evening and you can keep the bathroom door shut).
Don't let that dissuade you - I would recommend it and stay here again. Ask for a room off the main Street so you can open the window.

Lovely little hotel

We stayed here for one night upon arrival in Quito. The gentleman working the night we arrived was extremely kind and helpful, going the extra distance to show my husband where to park and walking back with him to make sure he was safe. The hotel was lovely and our room was spacious. Breakfast was delicious and the location was great. We highly recommend this hotel for exploring Quito!

Loved the history and decor of the hotel. The only recommemdation I have is it lacked storage space in the bathroom of room 8. For 4 adults with toiletries one shelf is not enough the bathroom was a nice size maybe adding more shelving or a small cabinet.would be helpful. One of my favorite stays!

We had a great 2-night stay in this beautiful property and we would totally recommend it.
It was quiet and clean inside the casa. Staff was very friendly. We felt safe.
Outside walking distance were supermarkets and restaurants. It was also a pleasant walk to the old town.
We had a tiny problem with our airport pickup, but the staff responded immediately on WhatsApp and fixed it within minutes.
Free drinking water dispenser was a plus.

Suggestion: simple lunch menu and drinks on the rooftop would be great

This is a quaint family run hotel with a history that dates back to the 15th century. What it lacks in amenities (no in-room fridge, microwave, or coffee maker) it makes up for in charm, hospitality, and comfort. There’s a mini-market across the street, several local restaurants in the area, and you can walk to the Basilica, Grand Plaza, and Metro within 10-15 minutes - but the elevation in Quito did have me breathing heavy, so prepare for that. As a single woman, it felt a bit sketchy after dark (not many people on the street in front of hotel and some homeless asking for money), but overall, I enjoyed the stay. I was very appreciative of the staff meeting me at the door, and ensuring I was safe while waiting for my late night uber to the airport. Breakfast was also excellent.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, thanks to its spacious rooms and comfortable amenities. The breakfast was decent, offering a good start to the day.

The hotel's location was a major perk, within walking distance to top restaurants, attractions and tourist sites. The staff were friendly, helpful and always willing to assist.

My only issue was a temporary water supply problem in the shower one evening, likely due to the hotel's historic architecture. However, this minor hiccup didn't detract from my overall experience.

I would definitely stay here again, given the hotel's comfort, ideal location and excellent staff.
