This is a gorgous old building right in the heart of the old city by Plaza San Francisco. Communication from the hotel was good and we had a good sized room. There is an ecletic feel with the courtyard full of plants and inviting looking tables under a beautiful roof two storeys high. It feels historic. Place was clean, service was decent, price reasonable. Note the square outside is deserted quite early into the evening, the old town is busy during the day but empty at night, restaurants close quite early. If you want a busy night life head north to the more modern business district. I'd give the hotel 5 stars if it wasn't for the breakfast that was really poor given the impression the rest of the hotel attempts to emulate. There was no menu - just asked what we wanted, and then the answers being whittled down to "how do you want your eggs" - that turn up unaccompanied other than some bread and jam. The Coffee was awful - however having travelled all over Ecuador this is a consistent experience in the country. It is a good base for exploring the old town, would recommend to other travellers - especially if they offer a cheaper no breakfast option!
