Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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!!

Pros:

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.

Fab hotel- excellent value for money
Pros:

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.

Nothing like it was advertised
Pros:

The interior is nothing like the Hotels.com photos. You can see hints of how beautiful it must have once been but the interior has been renovated down to a small area with walls and doors in odd places. There is no huge elegant lobby as pictured. The staff did not speak English or French as stated in the listing, and they were rude to my French Canadian husband because of his novice Spanish. The wifi was not free and easy we had to ask for it 3 times and eventually someone came to our room and helped us log in. There were no black out drapes, no free water, and I booked a double bed thinking we would get the lovely spacious room shown with tall wooden window frames, but got put in the "quadruple family room" with metal windows and peeling plastic coatings. The window in the bathroom was partly in the shower and broken, and the interior of the hotel was mostly dark as the lights were on motion sensors, inside! For $45 USD it was awful, not clean with many hairs on the bathroom floor and someone else's towels hanging on the bar on the shower door. VERY disappointing, along with the noise, and prostitutes on the street corner outside. Not a nice area of town, and even our taxi driver was shocked at how much they charged us to stay there one night. Thankfully the rest of our entire trip was wonderful and the Ecuadorian's were welcoming and friendly.
Please update this Hotel's information so people are not shocked and scammed!

Central yup - right where the most noise is...
Pros:

Right on one of the main streets of old downtown - the noisiest hotel I have ever been in. Traficc thru closed windows kept me up all night. Mgmt changed rooms for me to a side street room - still too noisy to enjoy. Quite cheap, and was clean, but ended up walking away from my last two paid nights so I could sleep before my next round of flights.
