Our room had a window facing a wall. The bed is a bit small for tall Europeans.

Beside the amazing view and breakfast what makes this place special are the people working there. So helpful and extremely friendly! Whatever you need they will help out. If it’s late check in, a drive to the airport or a tour. They organized a pick up from the airport even a week later to drive us to Cotopaxi. We felt so good there.

The location is great, but it is a hike to get to the hotel. Literally. Unless you arrive by car directly to the hotel, you will have to walk up a lot of stairs. I've been living in Ecuador for a while, but I still struggle on those stairs, especially when carrying my luggage. I've noticed I don't leave the hotel as much as I normally would because I dread those stairs. This is something to take into consideration if you have mobility issues or anything that would prevent climbing numerous flights of stairs with luggage. A taxi is a great alternative option if you are willing to spend that extra money.

The breakfast is delicious. At such a low price, I recommend upgrading your room to include it. It's also served on the rooftop with stunning views of both the historic center and modern downtown area. There are metro stops, bus stops, and tram stops nearby, which makes moving around very easy. Additionally, there are quite a few restaurants and shops nearby. The staff are always friendly and very accommodating. Do remember to bring cash, though, as they do not accept credit cards.

The wifi didn't work as well as my previous stays. I was in a different location than normal, so your internet connection may depend on your room. My main complaint is in regards to the location. While it is a great location, it is very difficult to get to. The hotel is looked at the top of a hill with lots of stairs to climb. This may not be feasible for some people. If need be, you could hire a taxi to drive you up. The stairs are just a lot after a long day of traveling while carrying all of your luggage. Please take your physical state into account when booking.

I really love the privacy and comfort of these rooms. The bathroom always has nice hot water with strong water pressure. The breakfast is a really nice spread considering the price, and it's served with a fantastic panoramic view of Quito. The location is great as well. It's near the metro station with lots of fantastic restaurants nearby. Additionally, there are stores both big and small to grab anything you may need.

The rooftop terrace was amazing! You could see all of Quito, it was breathtaking. The breakfast was very good and the hosts were so friendly and helpful!:)

The windows were not the best at filtering out the street noise, but we came so tired that we slept well anyways. Also the property is definitely rather old and budget but the price reflects that

Location was great, the terrace view was amazing, the free breakfast very delicious and the staff were lovely - the man who checked us in spoke no English but tried to chat anyways! The rooms were what you pay for, quite old the no frills, but you get plenty of blankets and the shower was hot and good pressure.

The friendly and helpful staff, the beautiful views on the rooftop terrace, the breakfast

Nothing. It is up a hill away from the centro but that adds to the peacefulness of the place.

What a great way to start the day - a wonderful breakfast on the terrace with a spectacular view.

Stayed in July 2025

The terrace wasn't open in the evenings but this is probably because the hotel was very quiet at that time.

The breakfast is fantastic and the terrace is beautiful. Bed was very comfortable. The family who run it are very friendly and helpful.

Well, the only way up to the higher floors is by stairway and this is tough with a heavy suitcase, especially at 2, 900 meters above sea level! But, c´est la vie, what do you expect?

The staff are attentive to the guest´s needs for luggage storage, for taxi service, for a second cup of coffee, for help with directions in the area, for a listening ear to almost anything. It´s my favourite hotel in Quito.

Nice simple accommodation. The location is good , with great views of the old city from the rooftop terrace. The owners couldn't be more helpful, even to the point of running me down to meet a tour in their car.

The steps/climb is an effort but I didn’t mind the exercise

Location and view of Quito old town. The glassed in top floor is a great observation deck. My room was ok, nothing special. I was grateful for a window that could be opened allowing fresh air. Very good security with controlled entry.

The host was so accommodating, friendly and checked in everyday to see what activity you were doing. The view from the terrace is spectacular, we would watch the sunset/thunderstorms from there every night. We went to the secret garden for a drink to see the difference, the view from here is 10x better! You do have to walk a fair few steps to get there, but the view makes it worth it.

A very goodt hotel with a spectacular view ,good breakfast,attentive staff and comfortable rooms. It was very quiet until my final night when an extremely noisy group upstairs on the terrace kept me awake until 3 am.Only following my complaint did the management act and the noise stop.I think the hotel staff should have intervened much earlier.

The room was very small and in my case (I'm sure it's not the same for other rooms) it had no windows

The terrace is simply amazing, won't forget breakfast there. The staff is very nice and helpful, they allowed us to leave our luggages in a safe place for some days. Xavier in particular was a great host, always kind and nice to talk to

The rooftop view is absolutely amazing! I loved having breakfast there. Also, I really enjoyed that there is a couch on the roof as well for some relaxed reading with a view. The rooms themselves are very simple. No fuss, but clean and have everything you need. The neighborhood is extremely quiet which made for some excellent sleep.

Location was amazing and staff were super friendly. Xavier specifically was exceptional and made my stay feel like home. He gave me great recommendations on what to do during my stay and even helped my friend when he was ill due to altitude sickness. If you want a great experience in Quito, would highly recommend staying here!
