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.

We arrived during a particularly busy city festival. This made finding the hotel and parking quite challenging but not any fault of the hotel or staff. The hotel itself is gorgeous. All the antiques around the hotel felt like you were staying in a museum. The center courtyard was beautiful with so many plants. It was a great first introduction to Ecuador for us! The hotel was very clean, staff friendly and helpful and breakfast was very good. I would prefer a slightly softer bed and maybe softer and more plush pillow. A fan for the room would also be nice, some white noise to drown out the city noise at night would be helpful. It was especially loud at night with the festival in full swing. Still a wonderful place to stay!

We had a bad experience and we didn’t get a refund for the nights we didn’t stay. The beds were dirty and I told the front desk guy and he came to change it but was very rude about it. It was very noisy throughout the night in the hotel we couldn’t sleep, the shower had standing water in it and the floor creeks when you walk so with all that in consideration we decided to let them know that we were leaving. They were not happy and said that they can change the room but I didn’t think that would help. The surroundings around the hotel didn’t feel safe, so with all mentioned we decided to leave and the didn’t want to refund the nights we didn’t stay. I think it’s unfair because if you go on vacation you should feel comfortable and safe where you’re at. I immediately messaged Expedia but the didn’t help .

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.
