Great place to stay … again
Pros:

We have stayed here three times. The property is clean and comfortable. The location was very close to great restaurants and within easy walking distance to main attractions. Communication was always easy and very efficient and effective. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast is very delicious and a great start to the day. We thoroughly recommend staying here and also using their car service to and from the airport.

Ubicación perfecta, desayuno ideal en una azotea con vistas a la ciudad, calidad-precio +++
Pros:

Ubicación perfecta, desayuno muy correcto en una azotea con vistas a la ciudad, todo muy agradable. La habitación que elegí tenía con vistas al exterior, luminosa y era muy agradable ya que daba a una calle peatonal. El personal del hotel fue extraordinariamente atento y simpático en todo momento.

Cons:

Lo único que es mejorable es la organización arquitectónica y la calidad de los espacios interiores del hotel (la habitación sí es perfecta). Aunque se entiende que es una construcción antigua y es a lo máximo que se puede llegar sin meterse en una reforma costosa.

This is our first visit to Quito after visiting the Galapagos.
What an amazing hotel in a wonderful location.

Breakfast was served on the roof top dining area which had amazing city views.
The breakfast was well cooked and presented. Service was superb.
We can’t fault this place and would highly recommend it.
