Boutique Hotel Antinea

Perfect hotel to stay in Quito. Quiet and cozy, beautifully furnished. I would love to return there one day.

Comfortable and beautiful hotel - lovely art, super friendly and helpful staff ( helped me with everything i needed ( spa, Mindo Forest visit and more) - great location on historic tree lined street walking distance to all the Quito sites. Loved the quirky style - colours - paintings. I would return to Quito just to stay in the hotel

Relaxing and comfortable! Located in a quiet neighborhood along a tree-lined street, the hotel still is located with range of everything you might want to see and experience. It's half a block from one of the three main bus lines in the city, but I preferred to walk to the many places nearby. I had a wonderful room with a beautiful garden-like balcony attached to the room. The people running the hotel were friendly and English-speaking. I could not have asked for more!

The property is decorated in a distinctive and home-y way, with many personal artifacts and a lot of character, in a "shabby chic" style. The proprietors are friendly without being pushy; happy to offer advice or assist with tour arrangements or transportation if you want, but not intrusive. Downsides: our bathroom had issues; randomly no hot water, toilet couldn't be flushed with any toilet paper in it, and the shower was dated. You can't adjust the room temperature directly. Breakfast was pleasant but fairly minimal (e.g. my husband had to ask for butter/jam for his toast). All in all, a pleasant stay with just a few annoyances.

This French country inn in the heart of the Mariscal district of Quito Ecuador is absolutely charming. The design and furnishing are wonderful. The staff is exceptional. They serve a very special breakfast which includes a genuine croissant beurre made fresh on the premises. We have stayed in two different lovely rooms and other family members travelling at other times have stayed in others all equally well-appointed. They even offer rates for longer term stays which are very tempting. Room 11 has an adorable little terrace on which to enjoy the normally sunny Quito mornings. It also includes a kitchenette in which you can cook a basic meal and which is really tempting for spending a week or a month in. Room 9 has a fireplace and a private garden outside the exterior door. A plus is a quite good Peruvian restaurant across the street but it's in a neighborhood filled with good restaurants. Chandani Tandoori is within walking distance and has very credible Indian food with a talent for adjusting the level of spice for different palates.

We had the most lovely stay at Antinea. We were traveling with our 9mo old baby and the staff really went out of our way to be accommodating and make sure our stay was easy and comfortable. They provided us with a pack-and-play crib which worked out perfect. The building itself is beautiful with lots of historic charm— and very clean and comfortable. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment loft at first, which we loved as it was very beautiful and had great natural light. Unfortunately a nearby club played their music very loud on Friday and Saturday nights, so Veronica moved us to a different room that was more quiet, which worked out very well. Our daughter slept through the loud music no problem but my wife needed earplugs before we moved. If you are a light sleeper and are there over a busy weekend I’d suggest asking Veronica about which rooms are more quiet and insulated. The breakfast was great— really nice croissants, eggs, coffee, and the freshest fruit we’d had on our whole trip. Veronica also coordinated our van to and from the airport, called taxis for us, provided us with tea and umbrellas, and made sure everything with going perfect with our stay. We had a great stay and will definitely stay there again next time we’re in town. Highly recommended!
