Excellent choice in best location in Quito

We were pleasantly surprised by the outstanding location, vintage style, & well-heeled service from every single staff member during our entire stay.

Excellent stay. Awesome service and unbeatable location in the very center of old Quito. The hotel is kept in historic style. Rooms are well maintained, spacious and confortable. We felt totally safe, also at night time, as there is a lot of police in the area.
