Pros:

The staff is so accommodating, and the rooms are beautifully appointed. Nice warm showers, excellent breakfast included. Two patios, one with a vertical garden. Access to the roof top for a view of the sunrise. We all agreed we would definitely stay there again.

Terrible experiencia
Pros:

El hotel es una casona muy bonita, con una decoración de dudoso gusto aunque el edificio es magnífico. Al llegar a la habitación te encuentras sobre la cama los típicos cisnes hechos con las toallas, eso sí, viejas y deshilachadas y unas pinturas indudablemente kitsch. Las habitaciones espaciosas pero sumamente incómodas ya que dan a un patio interior (en Booking pone además que tienen “Vistas a lugares de interés”, pero solo dan al patio), no hay luz natural ni abriendo las cortinas y, si lo haces, quedas totalmente expuesto al público; el desayuno no tiene embutidos ni queso, sí un plato de fruta, UNA tostada y, en una ocasión, un jugo, aunque te ofrecen huevos pero es muy pobre.

Cons:

Muchas cosas que no caben en este espacio: no guardan las maletas después del check out, la incomodidad de la habitación, etc. Pero esto sería lo de menos comparándolo con lo que me sucedió, algo inaudito. Antes de llegar me dijeron por whatsapp que había recepción de 14:00 a 23:00 horas y el check out a las 12:00. Revisé su página web y la de Booking, donde había hecho la reserva. En ambas ponía recepción 24 horas. Cuando lo dije a la señora de recepción, con toda la educación del mundo, recibí por su parte un trato inadmisible: que yo había cogido el hotel por la oferta, que mentía, que ellos nunca se equivocaban porque era un hotel de 13 habitaciones, todo ello llamándome “Mari” y hablándome con desprecio, mientras yo mantenía la calma y la trataba de usted. Y terminó diciéndome que el error era de Booking y que me quejara a ellos. Le dije que así lo haría y me fui a mi habitación. Al cabo de una hora llamó a mi puerta y yo, ingenuamente, pensé que venía a disculparse, pero todo lo contrario: me dijo que me devolvían el dinero y que me “fuera de allí inmediatamente” (sic), que en ese hotel no me querían porque los había chantajeado y amenazado (sic) con poner una reseña en booking y que el dueño no quería que yo estuviese allí. Insistía e insistía, que no era querida allí, que me tenía que marchar. Cuando le dije que no, que yo había pagado y que por favor se fuese, puso el pie en la puerta y me empujó para entrar, sin dejarme cerrarla. Sin palabras. Después alguien del hotel continuó enviándome mensajes por whatsapp, diciéndome que había sido “grotesca”, que había amenazado de mala manera, etc. Probablemente el hotel dirá que esto no sucedió así, pero lo cuento exactamente como fue y guardo copia y fotos de todo. Todavía no salgo de mi asombro y, por supuesto, he puesto una denuncia en el Ministerio de Turismo ya que me dijeron que no tenían libro de reclamaciones cuando lo solicité.

Would have been fine if not for the owner
Pros:

Beautiful hotel building, large rooms, great location. But all of this is overshadowed by the woman who works here.

Cons:

The female owner of the hotel is horrible. She tries to nickel and dime you for every single thing, and treats you like you're children. Also beware that there is NO option of luggage storage for a late flight out. She will only offer to charge you the entire cost of the room. This was very inconvenient for us and is completely ridiculous. She has more than enough space. I wish I had seen a review about this before booking because I absolutely would not have booked here.

Hotel Basilica Perfecto
Pros:

The hotel is very well located within a few minutes walk to the basilica and also the town square.

The facilities are great considering the age of the building. The property has that heritage feel about it which is so nice in the old town area.

The room we had was very spacious and the double glazing on the doors and windows mean there is no noise in any room.

Great value for money and the cleanliness of the whole place is well above standard.

What makes this place is the people. The staff here are so friendly and go out of their way to make sure you feel at home. Even with a language barrier of Spanish and English, translate works beautifully and the host here makes sure that you feel like family as part of your stay.

Recommend you book here and try it out.

Beautiful, centrally located hotel
Pros:

Gorgeous hotel in a beautifully restored old building, right in the middle of historic part of Quito. Every room is different. The owners are there to answer any questions and arrange any tours or transportation. Free breakfast was plentiful. There's a rooftop viewing area where you can see all of Quito. They go out of the way to make you feel part of their family!
