A very special place that made our stay perfect.
Pros:

Casa Alquimia is a gem in a beautifully restored old house. As soon as I walked in the door I could see the beauty and know it was a perfect place for me and my family (8 of us).The rooms are large, comfortable beds and a yummy breakfast with eggs, juice, fruit, basket of breads, coffee. The owner has created a special ambiance with her varied collections of items throughout the house and her own charming small art works of flowers on the walls. We stayed here on arriving to Quito and stayed again on our return from the Galapagos. If you want to stay away from cookie cutter hotels, I highly recommend this unique place.

Cons:

it was perfect

Staff were so kind and helpful
Pros:

Very quaint and charming. Very historic

Cons:

Pillows were very hard. So the historic charming but also means that it is not modern comforts. I was tired when we got there so that is why I found it lacking. If I stayed there the very first part of my trip I would have been more pleased

Pros:

Nice hotel, very helpful staff.

Cons:

The traffic noise and petrol fumes from the street were bad until the early hours.
Sound echoes around the inner courtyard and having a bunch of US residents shouting across the balconies to each other at 2am was infuriating if not surprising.

Pros:

Beautiful historic property, one of the most gorgeous patios I’ve seen in Quito. The staff were super helpful, especially Oswaldo. Their help was invaluable when dealing with luggage on a busy street.

Cons:

The location is great if you want to stay in the old city but bear in mind that the traffic is bad at times and that there is noise. Also the old city tends to be extremely quiet at night. It’s a matter of preference.
