A most comfortable stay in Quito
Pros:

The husband-wife team of Gloria and Hernan, who run the hotel, made me feel like a member of the family. They went out of their way to make me comfortable and to attend to anything I needed. I truly felt at home.

Cons:

My room was on the 2nd floor (level 3). Without a lift walking up several times a day was sometimes a bit arduous, given the altitude of Quito. I understand that in a traditional building it may not be possible to instal a lift but that is the only negative I can think of.

Goede uitvalsbasis voor kort verblijf in de Oldtown van Quito
Pros:

Fijn hotel, met erg vriendelijke eigenaren. Engels gaat een beetje met handen en voeten, maar communiceren lukt wel goed. De oude stad is goed te voet bereikbaar vanuit het hotel en een wasserette licht op paar honderd meter van de accommodatie.

Cons:

Het tweepersoonsbed is aan de smalle kant voor twee personen, dekens zijn dan ook niet breed genoeg.

Great location and caring hosts, but needs urgent maintenance
Pros:

​Excellent location: The hotel is perfectly situated right in the historic center.

​Great service: Gloria was incredibly punctual with the breakfast, which was good. The hosts are caring people, and I reckon they will easily make the necessary adjustments with time

Cons:

Room maintenance needed: The place needs some repairs before earning a better rating. The door to one of our rooms wouldn't close properly, and neither room had curtains.

​Missing basic amenities: There were no hooks to hang towels, no toothbrush holders, and no shelves for shampoo or soap, forcing us to leave toiletries on the floor.

​Bathroom issues: The bathroom floor had no functioning drainage. Also, despite having three guests in our room, it took over 24 hours to get a third towel.

​Safety concerns: The stairs, steps, and rugs are quite slippery and felt a little dangerous.

Quiet in Quito
Pros:

This place is a gem. Beautiful period interior finish with polished wood look located on the edge of the Historical Centre, making it quiet yet an easy walk to the lively area. Hernan took care of airport pick up/drop off (its about 45km) and provided a tour of the volcanoe and Centre of the Earth. Dont miss it when in Quito, being on 0 degrees and leatrning the science in the museum is fun and a treat. My thanks to excellent the hosts.

Cons:

Nothing

Tutto ottimo
Pros:

Struttura molto bella, ben curata e tenuta, e molto molto pulita. Herman, su richiesta, può venire a prenderti all'aeroporto e noi ne abbiamo usufruito sia in andata che al ritorno.
Herman ci avrebbe anche fatto una visita guidata gratuita di un paio di ore per Quito centro Historico; purtroppo non lo abbiamo fatto per un inconveniente che ci è successo.
La struttura è nel centro Historico a 5' a piedi da piazza Independencia, la piazza principale di Quito centro Historico.
Colazione servita con prodotti locali freschi.
Consiglio vivamente la struttura.

Cons:

nulla

A wonderful stay with very friendly and attentive hosts, great service, clean rooms, and a safe location close to the hi
Pros:

Overall, we had a very positive experience at this hotel. Hernan was extremely friendly and kindly picked us up from and took us back to the airport, even though our flight times were very inconvenient. He also agreed at very short notice to drive us around the city for the whole day, showing us the main sights and recommending what to visit.

The property was a secure, gated place. Everything was clean and tidy, and the hosts were always attentive, asking how they could make our stay even better. Our room overlooked a charming historic street, and the location felt safe, with the historic centre within walking distance and many restaurants nearby.

One thing to keep in mind, although it is not specific to this hotel, is that in the country many places prefer cash payments, and paying by card may involve an extra fee, so it is better to prepare cash in advance.
