Guest Review: Hotel is at top of a hill with great view of the city. There are many arts inside, like a small museum. Hotel staff Kevin has been very helpful and provided many great advices.
Guest Review: The personnel at the hotel were very nice and dedicated to making sure we had a good stay. They provided great recommendations and even packed us a box breakfast for our early morning flight. The facilities were very comfortable and I was glad I chose a local hotel.
Guest Review: This is a beautiful boutique hotel. It has been decorated and maintained with love and care. Andreas, the owner, is a warm, welcoming host as are all of the members of his staff. I was working remotely during my week stay and I had zero issues with the wifi, it was exceptional. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, a small mercado just up the hill (literally around the corner), a laundry across the street and all of the neighbors are friendly - greeting you with a smile! Make sure you check out the coffee shop also just up the hill! I used the hotel to arrange a taxi from the airport, and Freddy was wonderful. I hired him several times on my trip to take me places. I could not have felt more cared for on my solo trip to Quito. Notes: if you are sensitive to noise, book the top floor rooms (there are two). I always travel with a fan and ear plugs. Street noise was minimal as the windows are very noise dampening.
