Little charm in Quito!
Fantastic little privately owned and managed hotel in the heart of Quito's historic centre. The building is 250 years old and has retained its old charm beautifully. Witjin easy walking distance of museums, squares and historic buildings and lots of restaurants.

A charming old colonial era house
Convenient location and a homely atmosphere. The main door is locked so guests need to ask to be let out and buzz to be let in.

There were no issues with our room - clean, everything worked, quiet, comfortable. The hotel is situated in a great location walking distance to many tourist attractions. It is a very unique and beautiful building where no two rooms look the same - you can tell a lot of effort, thought, and care went into its design and upkeep. Mirian is an excellent host, manager, and owner. She truly cares about the guests and goes above and beyond to make sure you have an excellent stay.

I can’t add to the praise in other reviews. Excellence in every category.
Brilliant location, delicious breakfasts (just like mom never made) … kidding mom … excellent bread/croissants/buns, fresh juice and awesome coffee … cleaner than a hospital … very comfortable beds and pillows. Daily housekeeping is over the top. (OCD Warp 10) Laundry is conveniently done on site for a very reasonable charge. (Fifteen item minimum.)
It definitely feels like home. Miryam and Karla are sisters to me. They will treat you MUCH better than family.
Mange Takk!

Pro Tip: It is easier to pack neatly folded clothing. I have a 34 liter day pack. An 8 liter Sling Bag is handy for an emergency boxer and pair of socks.
It definitely feels like home. Miryam and Karla are sisters to me. They will treat you MUCH better than family.
I’m returning to punish them after the Galapagos Islands and again after Christmas in Antarctica. (And every year?)
Please book from their website.
It’s a wonderful world. Take it away Louis Armstrong …

This is a great place to stay in centro historico. The property itself is beautiful and the staff are kind and helpful. The rooms are well maintained. The breakfast selection is limited but delicious. There are a number of nice restaurants and bakeries located within a 5 min walking distance. So, especially at night, when the centro historico area can be a bit deserted, you don’t have to walk far to get a meal.

This is the place to stay when in Quito. We were welcomed so warmly by the front desk manager who gave us a review of the interesting historic roots of the hotel, as well as taking us to the rooftop to give us an overview of the city and where to go. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was amazing. Shout out to Byron and Karla, and the lovely airport pick up gentleman. All in all very glad I stayed here

Well worth the experience.
This is a very different style hotel if you are used to staying in the big chains.
We had a family room booked for my family of 3. My son slept in the loft and loved it. The hotel appears to have been completely restored. Lots of old wooden features and art work. There is a wine cellar where you can purchase a bottle of wine and there is a spiral stair case that takes you to the roof and gives you a GREAT view of the historical area of Quito.
We encountered rain every night so we did not get the chance to go to the roof and enjoy a drink. Hotel does provide loaner umbrellas cause when it rains in Quito, it RAINS.
This is an old hotel, so the floors do squeak in spots but you get used to it.
Staff was amazing, they helped us book a tour and transportation. They also made us breakfast every morning with fresh fruit and eggs.
Location is great. You are like 5 blocks to the basilica church in one direction, 4 blocks to a "mall" that has great food options. And 2 blocks to Teatro Sucre which is where a bunch of tour groups pick up.

The hotel location is excellent in the historical part of Quito. It is a beautiful place and the rooms are lovely. If I had one negative comment it would be that as welcoming and friendly the staff are, they are also a bit overkill. An unusual comment for sure but if you do stay at the hotel which I do recommend, you will understand.
