  This family run hotel certainly goes the extra mile. Nothing is too much trouble & there were a lot of thoughtful touches throughout our 3 night stay. Lovely roof bar/... read more outside area. Rooms are delightful.

  This hotel was booked for myself through a tour company so I had no idea of what to expect from it. I assumed it would be fine. I showed up... read more and...just was...amazed at this place. It was beautiful. The room was stellar. The amenities were great. But the thing I appreciated most from my stay here was the "daily experiences" offered by the hotel free of charge. Each day was different and highlighted a different aspect of Ecuadorian culture. I got to sample local wine and cheese, paint watercolor with a local artist etc. Overall this was just an amazing stay! Highly recommend!

A different experience is held at the hotel every evening at 5.00 - a cultural experience - welcome drink, hot chocolate drink, watercolour painting, making Panama hats etc. The staff went out of their way to make us welcome and ensure our stay was exceptional in every way.

We are in love with Ecuador and its people.

Michelle was an angel for us, she took us on a walk around the San Marcos neighborhood and introduced us to local grocers, a woodcarver and an antiquarium owner. So passionate bout her work. She told us the lovely story of the hotels restoration and all the hard work to bring the property to its present state.

We loved the rooms, ours had a tin roof and a restored iron bathtub, yet what we loved the most was the view of the virgin.

The spa is a hidden gem and should be advertised more, the massage was well needed after all the walking in Galapagos.

A truly iconic stay in Quito's old city. More
