Very good location in the Historic District. Comfortable room, but things like the door handles and ceiling fixtures were loose. Would still recommend it for the reasonable price.

Nightmare

This has been the worst hotel, if you can call hotel, I've stayed at. First of all the photos displayed are not real. The smell that comes from the bathroom pipes are so strong that the entire rooms smells like feces. There is hot water. This is our second day here and we noticed we are the only ones staying at the hotel, the rest of the rooms are empty. The food is horrible. We couldn't even drink the coffee. Over I will never come back here

Great location but toilet needs improvement

Great location if you want to be in the dead center of the old town..walking distance to the Grand Plaza where you pick up the "Quito City Tour Hop-On bus." Close to restaurants and tourist shops. Sreets are steep either uphill or downhill. Taxis are cheap and easy to find right in front of the hotel. Toilet does not have shower heads and proper toilet amenities. Shower floods the toillet floor in our room. They have rooms for families with 4 beds. If you want to experience an old Ecuador mansion and how people live during the old Spanish rule, this is the hotel for you, No elevators and bedrooms are on the 2nd floor of a courtyard style hotel. Breakfast very basic. Scrambled eggs, ham and cheese. Coffee also very basic. Staff are very helpful and do everything they can.

Good location, but noisy!

I was one of very few guests, and yet I was still given a road side room. It was incredibly noisy on the Saturday night, and would not recommend this hotel if those rooms were your only option. Even when the street noise finally dies down, you can still here the constant "chirp chirp" from the crossing lights at the street corner. Outside of the noise, this hotel was fine, and what would be expected in this price range. Its location was great for getting to the old district and the Square. Just avoid the streetside rooms!!

No! No! No!

Aside from a perfect location this hotel was a huge disappointment in every way. From them trying to charge us more than double what was listed by Expedia on our booking, to the old stuff in the room and lobby, to the shower leaking under the tiles all over bathroom floor. Only stayed one night. Couldn't wait to get out of there.

Convenient to historical area

Hotel Catedral is located very close to the Plaza Independencia and convenient to all the sites in Centro Historico Quito. The hotel was secure and the free breakfast was substantial if not too creative. The staff was helpful and the water very hot! Rooms on street sign have noise from below; try to get one in the back toward courtyard. It was not a five star resort but for the price very nice. Our only problem was they wanted $60 per night whereas the Hotel.com rate we had been given (and printed out) was $34. We got into a little bit of a disagreement over this but eventually they accepted our confirmed rate. I would recommend it for budget travelers who want to be within walking distance of many churches, museums, etc.

Ideal para visitar zona colonial de Quito

En general me pareció una buena opción si lo que desea es visitar la zona colonial de Quito, pues el hotel está ubicado a dos cuadras de Plaza Grande o Plaza de la Independencia, que es la plaza principal donde se encuentra Palacio de Gobierno. El precio es acorde al hotel y a la ubicación. El wifi nunca me falló ni tampoco el agua caliente de la terma. En la planta baja siempre encontrará un refrigerador con agua, cerveza o refrescos, así como una cafetera. Yo me hospedé en una habitación con ventana a la calle y en lo personal no me generó mayor problema en cuanto al ruido exterior, el cual disminuye hacia las 8 de la noche y hasta las 7 de la mañana. En la recepción tendrán la disposición de hablarle a un taxi si lo desea, de hecho, recomiendo que así lo haga, pues tomar un taxi en la zona es difícil, la mayoría van ocupados. La única falla durante mi estancia es que un día que tenía que salir en la noche para ir de farra, el personal de recepción no estuvo disponible para que le entregara la llave de la habitación y avisarle la hora en que llegaría para que me abriera la puerta; afortunadamente cuando regresé, ya había una persona y no tuve que esperar afuera en la solitaria calle. Tal vez lo que sugeriría es mayor atención del personal de recepción. Con excepción de esto, recomiendo hospedarse en este hotel.

The stay was pleasant, the front office was good, a confusion if hotels.com has charged the card or if i have to pay the at the hotel. However, the front office was very co-operative. Good in condition and ambiance. not comparable with luxury hotel, but a value for money
