Beautifully renovated hotel in the heart of the old city. The owner Hernan was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. If we needed anything it was arranged at a drop of a hat. The rooms were very comfortable and the breakfast and the chef amazing. The centre of town is a few blocks walk so great location.

We booked a taxi at the airport desk and it cost $US to be delivered to the door. The staff are very friendly, with excellent English and the answer to any request we made was "No problema". The breakfast was continental style, tasty and plentiful.

Lovely room in a 500 year old hotel. Big rooms, but also couches and armchairs in the shared balconies and courtyards.
Very friendly staff
Fabulous breakfast
Right next to La Ronda - which was disappointing. Allegedly the arts precinct full of music, but instead full of pizza places and karaoke. Spent most of my time in the hotel - lucky it was such a nice place

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Quito
Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Quito is during January, August, and September, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For an enriching experience, it's advisable to stay for at least 3 to 4 days, allowing ample time to explore the city's remarkable landmarks and cultural offerings. Visitors can immerse themselves in the rich history of the region by visiting the stunning cathedral, iconic churches, engaging museums, and charming cafes. Additionally, guided tours of historical monuments and architectural wonders provide great value for money, making it an ideal trip for those on a budget.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals on accommodation in Quito, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches.

Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature available on the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re informed about any fluctuations in availability or pricing for your preferred hotels.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Quito. If you're seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you make a reservation through Hotels.com, we'll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average.
