Amazing stay, great food, great staff. will be bak

After our trip to Galapagos, we wanted a comfortable and safe stay in Historical area of Quito. Hotel Plaza Grande was a great find. This historical hotel is located an ideal area facing the main plaza, just nest to the presidential palace. - offers great view, lively sounds, wonderful accommodation and great services! We always felt welcomed, warm and safe here. One of the best hotels we have stayed.

Location is on the square so our driver called the hotel to have the bellman come and get our luggage. He came running down the street and then walked us back to our hotel. Hotel is quaint old school with fancy woodwork everywhere. A gem in Quito. Highly recommended.

Hotel Plaza Grande is centrally located to what we wanted to see in 'Old Town' Quito. Our beautifully decorated suite was very comfortable and had great views of Plaza Grande and beyond (magical at dusk). Most of all we felt very safe and secure. The restaurant served excellent food and overall hotel staff was world class. Order ice cream in the restaurant for a fun surprise. Thank you to the staff at Hotel Plaza Grande. Well done!

MUST STAY!!!

MUST STAY IN QUITO! Great spot in Quito historic Center. The hotel goes above and beyond!! We were greeted with welcome drinks as well as a complimentary bottle of Ecuador wine and special Ecuador chocolates brought to the room. Staff were beyond friendly and accommodating. One day there was a problem getting into our room and they immediately brought us a complimentary drink and the issue was fixed in under 5 minutes. They provided a late check out for us and were super accommodating with our late night departure. Nothing but great things to say about the hotel and staff!! Complimentary breakfast was delicious as well!!! Room was big and beautiful!! Definitely “royal”. You will love your stay here!

The location was excellent, the property was gorgeous and the staff were welcoming. We arrived at 10:00pm after a long day of traveling and just wanted to relax. Unfortunately there was a party on the rooftop with music so loud we actually had to shout to hear each other In the room. We repacked and checked out after one hour of torture, losing the non refundable prepayment. The staff kindly offered a different room but the walls of the elevator were shaking on the way down to the lobby. I recommend you check if there is a party scheduled if you intend to book for a weekend. We transferred to the Marriott which was not as conveniently located or as classically designed but was an island of tranquility in comparison.
