In addition to the efficient friendly service at the reception desk, I also want to thank Ethel for the informative excellent walking tour of the Old City. You can arrange this tour with the front desk or respond to the text and book it via text. The breakfast was fabulous, cooked to order as opposed to a buffet. The view as you consume your breakfast is spectacular!!!. All in all it was a lovely 4 days. C.Buie

The building itself, the age, the wood floors, the wooden staircases, the roof top breakfast area which has an amazing view and whilst the building is historically charming the bathrooms are modern. The check in was excellent. Efficient, informative and very friendly.

The environment at the hotel was extremely welcoming, the service was great and the room was well equipped and clean. I particularly enjoyed the walking tour with Santiago, who was very thorough with his explanations and showed us the best of Quito’s beautiful historical town! Even though I was traveling solo, I never felt alone because of the staff. I would definitely recommend this place to any travellers looking for a more personal and traditional trip in Quito!

Staff were excellent. Beyond what is expected. Room was tired - safe and television didn't work and there were exposed electrical wires in the bathroom. Breakfast and view from the rooftop was excellent. Location is good too.

My stay at Friends was made very nice , thank you to Erica at the check in desk. She was always willing to help with any questions or requests and went the extra mile. Friends was a lovely place to stay but make sure you are good at stairs;)

Perfect location, clean, great staff
We arrived very early in the morning from a long bus ride. Unfortunately, we couldn’t check in early but the staff let us sleep on the couches in the common area which was a blessing. The places is very nice, with friendly staff and nice decorations. We liked our breakfast and enjoyed the view from the rooftop. We were quite surprised that the rooftop was with side windows as we were hoping to be able to smoke there (heavy smokers here). Unfortunately, there was absolutely no place were we could have smoked on the premises and that was one of the reasons we booked this hotel as we hope there is an open rooftop terrace. Anyways, our room was small but nice with hot water. The windows were not really soundproof so you can hear everything on the nearby streets. They organize free walking tours every day at 10 which is great. Thank you for your hospitality!
