Fantastic location, warm and friendly staff. Book it!
Pros:

Beautiful hotel in the perfect location. The family room was a great fit for our family with teens and the breakfast was the best we’ve had from a hotel, which included a bread/pastry, eggs, and fresh fruit. We stayed at this hotel at the start and end of our trip. It was perfect, and I would definitely book it again.

Historic, charming & perfect location
Pros:

We really enjoyed our 3 nights at Hotel Basilica, the perfect base for exploring Quito’s historic center on foot. It has a real guest house feel and we felt it was an outstanding value. We had a two-level family room with a loft that had twin beds for our 2 boys upstairs, and a two story mural of the city. The staff and manager were super kind and professional - and organized our airport transfers etc. They even helped locate my son’s stuffed puppy which we left behind and coordinated with our tour guide to get it back to us. Delicious hearty breakfast every day in the charming central courtyard. We felt totally safe at this hotel and in Quito more generally. Loved the historic center!

Our family had a great comfortable stay in this beautiful, colonial hotel in the historic center of Quito - very clean a
Pros:

The hotel was a beautiful, well maintained colonial building, full of history and character. It was right in the heart of the historic center of Quito, just a couple blocks from Plaza Grande, the Cathedral, and the Basilica and near restaurants and shops. The hotel is warm and welcoming, and very clean. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, with classic furniture and a large mural. All the rooms share the theme of reflecting a local church/cathedral and were similar to ours. The owner and her team make it feel like you’re visiting family, and they are wonderful, responsive, helpful and always available. The breakfasts provided were excellent, and a great way to start the day. They arranged reliable trusted transportation from and to the airport which was very convenient. I would highly recommend this hotel for families and travelers, and anyone wanting a great stay in Quito’s historic center.

Perfect location treated like family
Pros:

The staff is so kind. You always feel safe, and all of the drivers and tours that were arranged through the hotel were so kind and have such high-quality.

The location cannot be beat. You can walk to the center of town and to the Basilica Cathedral in minutes. It’s the perfect place to stay to explore keto for a day or two.

Exceptional Hotel Quito
Pros:

Hotel La Basilica was fantastic! The hosts are so warm, welcoming, and very helpful. I honestly felt like I was a guest in someone's home. I don't think I've ever stayed at a hotel and got a hug when I was leaving. The location is perfect, and the room was spacious, very nicely decorated, and breakfast was terrific. If I'm back in Quito, I will definitely stay there again!

Nice Hotel in downtown Quito
Pros:

Arrived late and the hotel was pretty empty. Its located perfectly about 4 blocks from most sites. The neighborhood is quiet at night and everything is shut down so if you are arriving late, pick some waters and snacks on the way. The staff was amazing. Very accomodating. The room also very nice and plenty of space. Rustic theme with a nice ambience. Bathroom had a great shower and hot water so no complaints after a long journey. Televisions are small and you have to have a Samsung account to access smart functions like netflix. Be sure you take your profile off when before you leave.

Staff are not there 24 hours so if there is an issue I am not sure how you would get it a resolved. They give you a key to your door and you leave the key to your room at the desk, which is not guarded so anybody can access it in the hotel. Housekeeping is very diligent and all the staff are amazingly kind. I would recommend staying here if you are in town. Price was very reasonable booked through Expedia

Staying at Hotel La Basilica was a highlight of our time in Quito.
Pros:

I'm excited we get to rate this hotel twice because we loved it that much! We stayed for 2 days at the Hotel La Basilica, left most of our luggage with them while we walked the Quilotoa Loop, and then returned to the Hotel La Basilica for another 2 night stay. The staff there arranged for a return ride for us from Quilotoa and to the airport which was super easy and the price was very reasonable. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and were always available if we needed anything, and their attention to detail was impressive. We felt super safe, the food was great, and the hotel itself was absolutely spotless and beautiful. The history and architecture of the building was also truly special. The 2 enclosed courtyards were amazing, and the views from the rooftop balcony of all the famous sights was a fun bonus. We will be recommending to anyone we know that is going to Quito to stay here, it was definitely one of the best experiences we've had at any accommodation.

Cons:

I can't think of anything.

Perfect hotel. Property, location, and staff are excellent.
Pros:

Fantastic property and the staff was amazing. Large, comfortable room for our family of 4. Spotless clean. The location was perfect for the old town of Quito. It’s an easy walk to the sites. Great restaurants within a few blocks. Wonderful breakfast in the courtyard. Always felt safe walking around Old Town. Less concerning than any large city in the US. There are a handful of hotels we’ve stayed in around the world that are truly special - this is one of them.

Cons:

Nothing at all. It was perfect n

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel La Basílica in Quito. The location is outstanding—just a short walk from the historic center, making it easy to explore the city’s beautiful churches, plazas, restaurants, and museums while still enjoying a peaceful atmosphere.

The hotel itself is charming, beautifully restored, and full of character. Our room was comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully designed, blending historic charm with modern amenities. Every morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with fresh local ingredients that gave us a great start to the day.

What truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and eager to help with recommendations, transportation, and anything else we needed. Their hospitality made us feel right at home.

If you’re looking for a boutique hotel with excellent service, a perfect location, and a unique atmosphere in Quito’s Historic Center, Hotel La Basílica is an excellent choice. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Quito

A wonderful stay in Quito
Pros:

Mariam and her team were wonderful. The hotel is right in the heart of the historic district. A quiet safe neighborhood. The hotel itself was clean, well staffed and filled with accommodations. The breakfast each day was wonderful. Beds comfortable and our rooms were so well kept by the housekeeping staff of Stephany and Susana. We will definitely stay here again. Also have the hotel arrange to have Oswaldo pick you up at the airport. A great touch.
