The staff was super friendly and helpful. It's near the historic quarter, which also makes it a bit loud. Well priced for the location, you can reach the city center on foot.
Beautiful historic property close to all the main attractions in downtown Quito. Carlos and his staff took care of me during my stay in Quito. Highly recommend!
The owner and the staff were always very kind. The room and sheets were cleaned thoroughly every day without request. Centric right in the center of the historic part of the city, which made it very accessible to visit multiple sites and a multitude of restaurants and cafes.
Great service in a cute place! The top floor had an amazing terrace with great views. The location was good to be in a central area of old historic Quito , but I didn't like the vibe after dark. I would definitely stay here again!!
We enjoyed being in the heart of Old town Quito and looking at the historic building. The staff were very accommodating (despite our lack of Spanish), helped us with our luggage, and patiently explained some of the basics of where we were located. They even drew us a map to a lovely hilltop restaurant from which we could see all around the city. When we got somewhat confused heading back to the hotel, the local people helped us find where we needed to be.
Lovely staff, lovely clean hotel, great location. A clean secure hotel in the heart of Quito old town for under $20 a night - how can you say no to that !?

It was comfortable enough. My only complaint was that my room was on the Main Street and was extremely nosey.

The staff were very keen to meet every need. The building is still being renovated and will be spectacular when completed, I’m sure. It’s an easy walk to Plaza San Francisco and that central area.
However the bathrooms were not updated, although functional and the bedrooms are large with multiple beds to accommodate families. All could do with an update.
The rooftop area was a nice surprise. Clean tables and chairs, a local view, nice and sunny for a morning cuppa which you are able to help yourself to at any time.
The wifi didn’t rate highly and was difficult to get mostly.
Great central position, lovely helpful staff, and very affordable.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Hotel has a certain old-fashioned wood-panel charm and is ideally located to walk to places of historical interest. Fine during the day; use caution after dusk.
Bonus for English-language tv addicts: Directv with tons of English movie and sports channels.

This hotel could NEVER EVER be classified as a four star hotel, 2 would be the maximum.
To start with, the room number at the door had been removed. The curtains were torn and the towels, as well as hard, also torn. The shower took a long time to warm up the water and closing the tap to save water while soaping up, the water got cold again.
There was some leaking, apparently in the sink, which every day flooded the floor.
The cleaning was not very effective because they left a pair of children’s socks , which apparently was found when they cleaned the room and it did not belong to us, on top of the furniture.
The pillow was high and they did not had another one to change. The pillowcase (red) was of a velvet-like material and stained the upper part of my pajamas.
The location, which seemed to be a great spot, was very rough. The staff was ok although they delayed sometime to "apper" at the reception. The hotel had no hairdryer to lend to customers.
I really enjoyed my stay here to the extent that I stayed an additional two nights. As a solo traveller who has visited over 60 countries, I can honestly say this hotel is excellent value for money. Yes, it’s a little rough around the edges with a little wear and tear, but it was spotlessly clean. There’s also the added bonus of free tea and coffee on the terrace- I would spend many a morning drinking coffee and watching the people on the street below. It is in a bit of a dodgy area ( lots of prostitutes on the street below) but I always felt extremely safe and you cannot beat the location- close to everything in the historic centre. Yes, the staff didn’t speak English but we got by ( I’m in Ecuador, I should be speaking Spanish!). On my last day there I had trouble getting a taxi to Papallacta due to restrictions of cars in Quito on a Sunday- the owner’s son helped me no problem. I cannot recommend this hotel enough- I had a fantastic stay.
Great value. Good base for the old city although have been warned to only travel by taxi at night. Plenty of ladies working outside adds to the general feel of the area.
The hotel staff were amazing! Thank you so much for your attention to detail and service. My stay in Quito was excellent because of Hotel Plaza del Teatro.
