Exceptional hotel — everything from the location, beautiful rooms, staff & restaurant. Cannot fault this beautiful hotel. What a great way to end our Ecuadorian adventure
An absolutely charming hotel with excellent accommodations, a very helpful and friendly staff and an absolutely unbeatable location in central Quito, right on the independence Plaza.
A beautiful hotel in the perfect location! We were constantly impressed with the staff- everyone we encountered was helpful, kind, and made the stay a 10/10. The food in the restaurant was delicious, our room was spacious, and we couldn’t get enough of the views. The housekeeping staff was especially wonderful! Thanks for helping our Quito visit exceed all expectations!
The location in the historic heart of Quito is ideal, the decor elegan but not osentaious, the beds comfortable, the fresh cooked breakfast delicious, and the staff gracious, warm and flawlessly professional.This is one of the nicest hotel stays I have ever experienced.
The hotel was beautiful and the staff super helpful. The exterior walls are very thin and we had trouble sleeping because of all of the outside noise. The bed is also very hard.
The staff greeted us warmly at our very late check-in, making our arrival a memorable event. The classic elegance of the hotel, the excellent restaurant, fantastic location, all combined for a great stay. Highest recommendations!
Hotel is in the historic centre next to presidential palace.
Staff - the best I have encountered in Ecuador. Friendly, helpful and kind to my little boy.
Food was traditional and delicious. Rooms excellent and fit with the area.
Recommend to families who want to seethe historical centre and be treated exceptionally well.
Perfectly located right in the heart of Quito on Independence Plaza, yet very private and quiet.
In a classic older building, so beautifully finished and wonderfully furnished. Rooms are luxurious, spacious and very comfortable. I stayed twice, and each room was fantastic. Just steps away are great restaurants, the grand cathedrals, shopping, and the vibrant street scene Quito is famous for. But above and beyond the facility, is the amazing staff! No one could be more gracious, friendly, helpful and kinder than these wonderful folks! Simply, they are Ecuadorians, the best people you will meet anywhere. What an enjoyable and memorable stay I had! Lawrence
Everything about this hotel is to be recommended. The staff is exceptional in all respects. The restaurant is superb. The location is in the heart of the old, historic park of the city, so walking around is fun and safe. If we were to return, we would hope to stay here again
Beautiful rooms; beautifully appointed. Great location in the middle of Quito. Outstanding staff who went out of their way to do things for us. Truly a boutique hotel.
