The hotel from outside was simple but once you go inside the doors I was impressed how well maintained and clean it was. The rooms are large and immaculately clean. The area has everything you need to walk to , restaurants, cafes, sites. I felt very safe staying here. They open the front door and lock them when you need to leave. Very friendly staff. They even made us breakfast to go and coffee for our early morning flight.

Beautiful colonial hotel in Quito, with one of the most incredible view of Panecillo. The staff is just so gentle, specially Luigi. You can have a really good conversation about ecuadorian culture and music with him. Thank you Casona Tobar Team for everything!

Great room with 4 beds and 2 baths- which is what I booked except on arrival they tried to give us 2 separate rooms (not sure why). Biggest issue is was street noise from traffic and trolley/street car 24/7. It also felt fairly unsafe surrounding property and on our early departure we could not locate a staff member to unlock the door to let us out. It ended up she was sleeping and we had to knock on numerous doors to find her. This caused a bit of a delay to depart for airport but we made it. Also seems this would be a safety issue. I don't mind them sleeping but perhaps install a bell or something.

El lugar tranquilo para descansar, pero carece de atractivo no tiene áreas de relajación y diversion, no cuenta con parqueadero lo que dificulta mucho la estancia porque hay que caminar mucho desde el parqueadero, deben trabajar en mejorar la variedad del desayuno. Los trabajadores super amables y muy profesionales.
