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.

Very antique hotel, nice homey touches throughout. Very helpful people. Our main grove was the loud music until 3:30-4 am from the la Ronda restaurants and music. Had to sleep in with my AirPods in. Otherwise is a nice location if someone want to stay in old town.

Fuqing

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

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.

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.
