Our stay here was amazing. Right in the center of old town,
very unique place with hand painted decor everywhere, exceptionally good service, good breakfast and very good prompt support with arranging ride to the airport/back.
We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing hotel
I really enjoyed my stay here for over a week. Andre, who was really helpful helped me with local information and arranging me to pay by credit card regarding a couple of day tours. shervanna (if I've spelt her name correctly) was also very helpful. The hotel is amazing with historic items everywhere. It was very homely with a great atmosphere.

Spacious rooms in the town center
This was a lovely spot in a fabulous location in the Old Town. Unfortunately it was the Light Festival where every surrounding street shuts down and thousands of people swarm the streets. I wish they had given us notice about this since! Our 2nd room had no window which wasn’t great and there was no fan or AC so it was a little stuffy. Incredible old building, large rooms and bathroom, amazing views from the roof and our balcony though.

The hotel is very central - although didn't really go out much every after my tours for security reasons. The property is very much secured - although it was a challenge getting in, I was lucky a lady showed me where the door bell is. If there are loud guests, unfortunately you will them from your room. I love the breakfast! Although they don't really change towels even if you leave them in the floor. Mind the shower floor as it can get really slippery.

Beautiful hotel and very nice staff. Always very helpful with holding a bit of extra luggage when we were away to Galapagos and also getting us taxis to and from the airport. Also, they can arrange a day tour around Quito with an English speaking guide. We did 3 outings with Alexander who was really fun and knowledgeable about the area.

This is a very cute hotel with a lovely view and a roof top terrace for enjoying breakfast. However, it’s dangerous in the surrounding area at night snd when we arrived they ushered us to our room without giving us any towels, water or any food option. The staff wanted to be helpful but didn’t speak English. The breakfast on the terrace made it worthwhile, though.

They offered a driver / guide trips to various locations through the hotel which we found easy and convenient to see some main sites. The breakfast was good on a roof top cafe. Quaint hotel offering cultural flair. Only issue was the wooden floors and the sound of everyone walking and waking us . Nice staff.
