The location of this property is ideal and walkable to everything you need or want to see in Old Town Quito. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. The breakfast on the rooftop is different each day which is an added benefit. Staff are extremely helpful and well organized. We recommend this property.

I can't praise the staff enough, they, particularly Yale, went beyond the call of duty to assist us. Although, there are some stairs up to the rooms, help was available to carry our bags. The room was clean and tidy. I wish we could have spent a couple more nights.
