The staff, the family that owns the property, were excellent. There is just no other place to stay, unless you want to get ripped off at a boutique chain hotel. Affordable and convenient to everything, especially the Quito landmarks!

The room was really comfortable, clean and quiet and we even got a heater. Also hot water in the shower. The location is near historic center and Basilica. The family who runs the hotel is super nice and helpful. We highly recommend this place!

Great location if you don't mind the hike

Cesar was warm and very inviting and a pleasure to get to chat with. Blue door is very close to voto nacional and other great sites, but it does sit very high on a hill which makes exploring on foot a little tougher. Nights in quito get quite cold and it can be especially rough walking to a seperate shared bathroom, although the water pressure was great with plenty of hot water.

Great stay and great people

Blue Door is a lovely place. I was comfortable and had what I needed for my stay. Cesar was an excellent host and checked in on me to see if I needed anything. He was very helpful and is super nice. I didn't get to meet his wife until the ride to the airport but she is very sweet and we had a wonderful conversation during the ride.

O quarto é amplo, a cama é confortável e há um frigobar disponível. Está a cerca de 20 minutos do centro, a internet funciona bem e se pode chegar de madrugada para o check in. Pontos negativos: parte de caminho até o centro é uma ladeira bem íngreme; chuveiro desregulado, ora esquentava demais, ora ficava gelado; quarto com claridade de noite e de dia; falta uma boca de fogão na cozinha. Acho que faltou expor as opções do que fazer em Quito para além da oferta de tours oferecidos pelos proprietários (apenas depois de 2 dias a dona me explicou onde eu poderia tomar um bus á metade do mundo desde o jostal. A primeira opção foi tentar me vender um tour com o marido dela).

Don César y su esposa son excepcionales, a pesar de que no obtuve la habitación que reservé no puedo quejarme porque me trataron muy bien y se preocuparon por mi, el lugar es seguro y tranquilo, normalmente viajo sola y eso es un gran punto a favor. Hay cocina compartida y las habitaciones tienen lo necesario para una larga estancia, el centro de la ciudad está cerca. Lo recomiendo y volvería nuevamente !

A very interesting visit...

It could have been a bad start, but the family who runs BDH made it right and did so quickly. The room we reserved was taken, so we were somewhat disappointed. However the owner responded immediately and gave us a different room. Pluses: we did get a room. We got it immediately within minutes on a national holiday and at 9am (a very early check-in). We made it to our 10 am walking tour (also pre booked). Later we sat in the open courtyard where guests shared wine, tea, banana bread, eggplant lasagna, and good conversation. One guest was a BBC reporter. Guests were from Canada, South Africa, USA, Russia so indeed a very eclectic mix. Just up the street from the basilica which is visible from all of Quito. Very quiet. Felt very safe. We recommend BDH.

A home away from home

The inside recoration was great, loved the remodeled modern bathrooms, and was very close to main attractions. The owner was friendly, kind, knowledgeable and with a good spirit. He cares to know you as a person not as a tourist. The neighborhood was safe and people were very helpful. Very affordable.

El hotel se encuentra en una zona poco iluminada de noche, algo peligrosa. Hay que tocar timbre para ingresar y puede suceder que no haya nadie para abrir la puerta y tengas que ir a buscar al encargado a su domicilio particular que se encuentra a algunos metros del hospedaje.

Una topaia

Posizionato in cima a una collina, quartiere San juan,a 20 minuti a piedi dal centro storico, in zona molto sporca e sprovvista di negozi e ristoranti. Struttura vecchia e fatiscente. Camera indecente, sporca, con macchie e rigonfiamenti nel soffitto causa umidita'. Bagno piccolo con doccia, acqua calda. Sporco. Porta e finestra su scala interna non chiudono lasciando passare freddo e odori della cucina sottostante. Arrivato in hotel alle 15, non c'era la stanza, hanno addotto un problema con internet. Fatto check-in alle 20. Dato una topaia che non era la stanza da me prenotata e pagata. Reception inesistente, non c'è mai nessuno. Wifi ottimo. Prezzo indegno.

Long walk up but central and nice

Long uphill walk from centro historico but centrally located between there and mariscal. Very comfortable by hostal standards. Very friendly staff. beautiful building and courtyard. Convenient and well equipped shared kitchen. Some rooms with private baths. Others share 2 baths in courtyard. Breakfast for $3 available at affiliated hostal across the street also very friendly and personal.
