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!

Old colonial style building, the room and bathroom were very spacious. Good breakfast with fresh produce (fruit, juice, bread, etc). Staff were extremely friendly, also helped us with local excursions. Great location in historic centre, within 10 min walk from Placa Grande. Excellent value for money.

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.

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.
