Maquipucuna Cloud Forest Reserve

The hotel is a “one of a kind”. Located in the historic part of Quito in a former large colonial home. The ornamental paintings on all the walls create an indoor garden atmosphere. Our room was quite large with a comfortable king size bed. The washroom is well appointed. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. Eggs are made to order. The artisanal bread was a nice touch. There is no elevator, so ask for a room on a lower floor if you have mobility challenges or think the high altitude might make a little tricky to climb too many stairs. The location is close enough to walk to many of the main attractions in the old town. We only had breakfast at the hotel so we can’t comment on their dinner. There’s an excellent restaurant just next door and in the other direction, about a minute away are several family run restaurants that are worth trying We can’t emphasize enough how attentive, kind and helpful the staff are at this hotel. Staying at La Casona was a terrific part of our Quito experience.

A staff was exceptional, the room was beautiful, the amenities were great, the cocktails in the tavern were out of this world.

Room was lovely and clean and had a very large bathroom as well. Very well appointed in keeping with the theme of a Basilica . Felt slightly unsafe walking at nights in the area but taxis easily available and very reasonable
