Beautifully restored, relaxing historic hotel just a short walk to the the main squares of the old town. After days in sandy beach flats in Galapagos, we felt spoiled here with a huge room, double bathroom sinks, rain shower, robe and slippers, and umbrella etc. Very comfortable. We loved the daily complimentary afternoon/evening tea and snack, and they sometimes also had chocolate tasting demonstrations in the atrium in late afternoon. The staff were helpful calling taxis (sometimes there is a wait, esp on weekends so give enough time) and they have security guards walk you to the car. Note - ubers and cars without tourism licenses may have trouble accessing the historic street so you may have to walk out a bit for dropoff or pickup. But staff are always willing to help with this. I tried to pick a neighborhood that was walkable and this was - the colonial streets are filled with touristy vendors, merchants, little shops, bars, clubs and restaurants - saw lots offering the local tasty canelazos drink and gigantic (gigante) empanadas. It is a bit empty on weeknights but the tourism police have an office down the street so it didn't feel overly dangerous when we walked around a bit at night. Weekends are much more busy. I didn't try the hotel restaurant but it looked cute. There's a well known restaurant right next door - Casa los Geranios - must try the local potato stew soup that's served over a fire and the unique fig cheesecake dessert!

This is super minor - we booked Rm 23 - one of their big, spacious rooms on the top floor (also note there's only stairs - but they have porters) - the room didn't have a real window view which we greatly missed. But we were close to the spiral staircase up to the stunning Mirador Lounge with its huge window. My husband would go up there to read at the end of the day. Everything was quiet - for the most part. This is not hotel's fault but a few adults - think they were organized groups - were quite loud late at night and very early in the morning - like 4am. The sound travels straight up the open courtyard to the rooms. The hotel has signs posting quiet hours, so I wished the staff had enforced it.

This is a beautiful property at a great location. We had the junior suite which was very spacious. We didn't realise that we were staying right at La Ronda, and how busy the street gets in the evening, until we arrived. We were a bit concerned that it'd be very noisy at night, but we couldn't hear a thing from our room. It was a pleasant surprise. I should note though that our room didn't face the street, so I can't comment on rooms that do. It was also great to have security staff at the door, especially when the street was very busy at night.

We were told on our first morning that breakfast was not included. At departure, when paying our bill, I noticed that the statement said 'breakfast included' and the staff member confirmed then that we had breakfast. It was a bit disappointing that we've been given the wrong information. Luckily we only stayed 3 nights, but still... we could have avoided the expense of eating breakfast out.

The Hotel is a Spanish Colonial House with a beautiful courtyard, located on Calle de la Ronda - one of the most charing streets in Old Town Quito. It's a 5 min walk to the Santo Domingo Church and easy walk to the Central Plaza and other historic landmarks in Quito. The staff of the hotel are welcoming and friendly, breakfast is buffet with many choices of fruits. The rooms are spacious with traditional decoration, the bed is firm and large (I prefer firm beds). I highly recommend this hotel, and would stay there again for future visits to Quito.

Only drawback is the shower could be better designed with a screen to keep water from splashing into the the bathroom. And a bathtub would be nice after a whole day of sight seeing in Quito. (Maybe they have rooms with bathtubs, just not my room).

Once in the enormous doors the place opened up to a beautiful welcoming room with plants and high ceiling where the upper floors could be viewed. In the back was a comfortable sitting area great for gathering with friends and having a cocktails or tea. They even had small sandwiches on hand. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Both delicious. As it was election on Sunday our street life was very quiet but we were told it has wonderful restaurants and bars. The location is very close to all the sites in this beautiful colonial city. I would stay there again!!

This hotel is a renovated Spanish style courtyard home. Many of the original design elements are intact, giving it an authentic historic feel. It's located in la Ronda district, complete with quaint shops and restaurants along cobblestone streets. Our room was spacious and clean, with nice wide windows. Meals are served either in a cosy little restaurant or in the courtyard.

The nearby streets, though picturesque, are not designed for modern vehicular traffic, so the best way in and out is by foot. That can be a problem when arranging for taxi or Uber, but nearby Plaza de Santo Domingo is a good meeting point, and only a short (uphill) walk away.

The location was amazing, right in the heart of Old Town. The room had the largest bed I've ever seen in my life. Loved the nice HOT shower! The breakfast was amazing, fresh, great selection and delicious. The staff were incredible. Had tea, coffee, and sandwiches and pastries gratis late in the afternoon in the lobby, nice touch to hold us over until dinner. Also, loved the filtered water fill stations on each floor!

Very hard to complain about anything....as this place is a definite 'must stay' for a Quito Old Town visit. I'd say, although the breakfast was very good, I thought $14/person for Ecuador was a bit pricey.

It's one of the nicest overall hotels exsprences I've ever had.. I came out of Hotel the night before that was horrific and then came to this and felt like I was in Paradise I was so well taken care by the staff amazingly they went above and beyond to fill all my needs... the hotel itself is an amazing mix of history and character combined with new and modern amenities.. location was amazing, close to everything in historic old Quito.. truly everything I was hoping for in a colonial style Hotel.. Quito is a bit of a noisy city. They have gone so far above and beyond to make sure that It was quiet, The double windows were soundproof with Wooden shutters on the window to block out the lights.. Furniture was new, but had a historic feel. The breakfasts in the morning were so beyond amazing fresh fruit omelets, eggs to order.. I had dinner at the hotel, it was superb slso . The bed was extremely large and very comfortable. My view of the city was so good a lot of days. I just wanted to lay in bed and look out the window at The View... they helped arrange so many different things to make my trip enjoyable. Nothing seemed out of Reach they were so accommodating.. it's locsted in a great area felt very safe at night not to mention they have their own private security guard outside the hotel that is outside to constantly help the hotel clients whether it be holding an umbrella opening a door or suggesting a restaurant and walking me to it.. I honestly don't think I've ever given this positive of a review or have had this good of an experience ...this is now my hotel when I come to Quito.. the only thing I can think of is because it's a boutique hotel, they really give you that personal experience. You do not feel like a number like a big corporate hotel. You feel like a valued guest and important .. Well done!!

Honestly there's nothing that wasn't five star the only thing if I had to pick something I wish they had a little bit better choices of pillows they were all large and a little too firm I like a softer pillow a lot of hotels now offer both... and that's if I had to pick something

Really friendly and helpful staff. Felt very safe and they couldn’t do enough for you. Booked taxis, helped with airline issues and always there to greet you and answer questions. Delicious breakfasts, comfy beds and super location. Highly recommend!

Nothing really. It is a lively street on a Friday and Saturday evening but that means you have great local restaurants on your door step. Didn’t keep us awake.

Great location. Super friendly and helpful staff. Fabulous breakfast with a lovely selection of fruit and made to order eggs. Comfy lounge area with complementary tea and cake at 4pm. The biggest and comfiest best ever!

The hotel is on a busy street so Friday and Saturday nights can be busy and a little bit noisy but equally great atmosphere and lively local restaurants.

This hotel is beautiful, wonderfully comfortable, superb in every respect. Of special note is the excellent food served in the hotel restaurant.

The location presents some difficulty to drivers wishing to access the hotel entrance, but this can be overcome with a little ingenuity.
