"Nice hotel , inside an antique building . Rooms are a little small , not much room for storage . Food is great . Maybe parking could be an issue , as it’s kinda far from the hotel , and difficult to find sports nearby when arrival"

"We experienced an absolutely wonderful one night stay. We wished we could have stayed longer. The staff, amenities, restaurant and accommodation were all exceptional. Jonathan was great in organising transport from the airport and back and showing us around the accommodation. We loved the pool area.
As a side note, although situated reasonably close to the airport it does take half an hour to drive.
We would highly recommend this accommodation."

The house would go unnoticed from the road but just wait until Mario opens the door to let you in! The quality of the guesthouse is clear to see and the welcome from Mario and his wife Blanca is an absolute delight after a long journey.

A lovely family run hotel which was a great base in Quito. We stayed here twice at either side of our trip to the Galapagos and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Everyone was lovely and nothing we asked for was too much. If we're ever back in Quito we are certain to visit again.

We chose not to stay in Quito city as we needed to be back and forth to the airport. So this hotel offered a good midway point, and we were really glad we chose it. As well as a much shorter ride to and from the airport, the hotel is smart, tidy and comfortable, and has possibly some of the most helpful staff I've ever encountered.
We had an issue with one flight, and they did everything they could to help, including lending us a phone for several hours while we were on hold. Martin and Michelle...

A charming small hotel very well situated in the historic centre district just a short walk from the plaza grande. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms well equipped and kept spotlessly clean . The hosts were as charming as they were helpful and made our stay a most enjoyable one.

The hotel was very good. They brought a kettle to our room. The outdoor pool was heated and the sauna and steam room worked. The airport transfer was reliable. Families with children bought day passes which is good. Will stay again.

Excellent decor and fittings. Very comfortable rooms which were spacious and modern. Staff were super helpful in finding us a nearby gym to use when the hotels gym was out of order.

This is an amazing hotel converted from an extensive colonial building, now a luxurious place to stay. The price was cheaper than many other hotels. The architecture is fascinating, the food was good, the rooms were great. Will definitely go there again, and probably stay in this hotel whenever I go to Quito, which is likely to be often since my son has moved from UK to Mindo now!

Lovely hotel, very boutique and beautiful, walking distance from the town centre (5 minutes) and easily accessible - no lift for access to the first floor but plenty of ground floor rooms if necessary for any disability requirements. Restaurant is on the ground floor

A lovely historic building with a warm welcome and well appointed room. Breakfast hosted by Lucia was exceptional and more than I have ever experienced before, a wonderful personal experience.
I would certainly stay here again and I can recommend it to others who are in the area.

Our choice of the Hotel Basilica was inspired. The hotel is a heritage hotel, formally the family home of one of the heroes of the independence struggle of Ecuador. The staff on arrival were throughout ,welcoming,hugely helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. The location is stunning in the midst of the UNESCO Heritage old city of Quito.

Really good room with easy access to all Marriott facilities and restaurants. OK location for Quito centre but need a taxi or bus to get to colonial centre.

The loveliest one night stay at Friends Hotel. Checked me in as soon as I arrived even though it was many hours before check in time (greatly appreciated as I was so tired!) Clean, comfy room with a balcony giving views up the mountain. Delicious breakfast with great views from the rooftop. Couldn't be more accomodating. Wish I had stayed longer, will definitely be back!
