The hotel is a little gem. The service is wonderful. Its location in the historic center is extremely convenient, with everything within walking distance. The breakfast is quite complete. The only downside is that in the historic center, everything quiets down after 8:30 PM. So, in the evening, even finding a place to eat can be a bit challenging.

Such a cool stay! The 4th building in Quito with incredible history. Wonderfully welcoming staff happy to share local restaurant favorites as well as the history of the building and Quito. The vibe is the breakfast area was fitting to the old jail quarters. The view from the top veranda: breathtaking! Loved walking right out to the Saturday bustle of OldTown Quito. Easy $20uber ride to and from the airport. Loved the quirks but definitely needed the sleep noise app. Windows to the hall for ventilation added to the vibe of this vintage stay.
