Plaza Grande Hotel
4.8/543 Reviews

Plaza Grande Hotel

Quito|0.09km from Independence Square
We spent two days in Quito following our Galapagos cruise and booked this very expensive hotel as a splurge to end our vacation. On the plus side, it is very beautifully decorated, our room was quite large and there were lots of fluffy towels and nice toiletries. We received a bottle of wine and some chocolate when we checked in, and the people at the front desk were very nice. But the negatives certainly overshadowed the positives, considering how much we paid for the room. The air conditioner was barely adequate, although we turned it down as low as possible, so we spent two uncomfortable nights. One of the main reasons for booking the hotel was to eat in their lovely restaurant, We even thought we made a reservation for our first night. However. when we checked in , we discovered that the restaurant had been closed for months and the only available restaurant was little better than a coffee shop, although they did serve dinners. The breakfast that was included in the room rate was very limited, with most of the other offerings an additional cost. Even at more modest hotels, we have enjoyed very nice buffets with many choices, but not at this hotel. And finally, our trip ended on a very negative note. The hotel is on a pedestrian street so we, with all of our luggage, walked to the corner with the bellman to meet our car. He didn't have a cart so we carried everything. While we were standing there someone took one of our bags, unfortunately the one with the presents we were bringing home to our family. The hotel never bothered to get in touch with me afterwards, although I guess technically it was not entirely their fault, even though they walk guests to the corner on a regular basis. But an expression of regret would have been appropriate and much appreciated. I really intended to give the hotel a “poor” rating, but decided in the end for “average” but only because the people at the front desk were so pleasant. But we would never recommend this hotel to anyone.
Hilton Colon Quito
4.2/547 Reviews

Hilton Colon Quito

Quito|2.21km from Independence Square
First of all, the Hilton Colon - like most Hiltons outside the U.S. - is far superior to equivalent Hilton properties in the States. Relatively clean rooms (no stray hairs anywhere!), comfortable bed, great shower water pressure, clean towels, nice and cozy executive lounge, etc. The room, and the property in general, is dated but things mostly work as they should. In the Southwest facing ”executive” king room, and in the executive lounge, the views of the city are spectacular. Unfortunately, the ”free” breakfast buffet is slop, with the most atrocious coffee in Quito. The exception is the made-to-order egg station and the nice gentleman who expertly cooks them. Bring your own coffee from one of the countless cafes nearby and then order just the eggs and some toast. Or, better yet, get an authentic Ecuadorian breakfast elsewhere for just a few dollars. There was extensive road construction going on during my stay on Avenida Patria, which is the main road adjacent to the South side of the property. Very loud during the day, and bright spot-lights aimed at the hotel were left on during the night for some perplexing reason. Not the hotel's fault, of course - just something to be aware of if planning to stay here in the near future. Lastly, the front desk receptionists at this hotel reminded me of the female customs agents at Quito airport. Not friendly for sure, and rather stern. On the other hand, many other staff members, housekeeping in particular, were kind and helpful. Would I stay here again? I think so, once the road construction is completed.

Rincon Familiar Hostel Boutique
4.2/565 Reviews
My oasis in this city, with perfect location in the historic center, a rooftop terrace with amazing views and a welcoming, helpful staff. The hostel has a colonial feel to it and is very clean. Flowers everywhere! A great breakfast with a smoothie, an omelette, a cheese sandwich and a coffee. Quiet and peaceful, very safe.
Hotel Casa Montero
4.4/540 Reviews
This hotel sits in the SE corner of the Centro Historico of Quito and is located for easy access to all the attractions of the area. The hotel has an unassuming entrance on the Plaza de Santo Domingo (such that my out of town taxi driver could not find it; he phoned the hotel to find that we were parked outside but still did not see it). Entrance to the hotel is up stairs - reception staff kindly carried my suitcase - into an atrium around which the rooms are situated. Only a few look over the street and most open into the sunny atrium. My room was quite large with a comfortable bed and adjacent wardrobe. The ensuite was basic but with everything you need. Note - as with most of Ecuador toilet paper cannot be flushed down the toilet. The reception staff were polite and helpful, supplying maps and advice. The hotel was secure with all guests having to be buzzed in by reception upon entry. The area around the hotel and indeed the whole Centro Historico is well represented by police presence, it seemed on every corner. I was advised by the tourist police not to wander outside this area as it was not considered safe for tourists. Breakfast was fruit, juice, toast, cooked eggs with tea/coffee. This set me up nicely for the day.
Casa Alquimia
4.6/565 Reviews
I arrived in Quito a few days before an organized birding trip, and am so glad I booked at Casa Alquimia. The location was perfect for exploring the Centro Historico, and the hotel itself was a delight. It’s in a historic building that’s been thoughtfully renovated. My room was spacious and immaculately clean. The bed was comfortable, with enough pillows even for this pillow fiend, and the duvet kept me toasty warm through the cool Quito nights. Breakfasts were ample and delicious (REALLY delicious), eaten on an enclosed terrace with a spectacular view of El Panecillo. But the best part was the warm, welcoming attention from the owners and staff. A few additional notes, in response to common questions/concerns. There was plenty of hot water for showers (you do have to let it run for a few minutes to warm up). Purified drinking water was provided. The hotel accepts credit cards, but cash is preferred. As for safety in Centro - I took basic precautions, asked for advice from my hosts if I was uncertain, and had no problems. I will return here in a heartbeat at the next opportunity, which I hope comes soon!
Hotel San Francisco de Quito
4.8/540 Reviews
No air conditioning, so no heating, the quilt is too thin, the bed cover is a blanket, too heavy, a series of operations that I don't understand? Maybe it's for a strong or fat person to sleep. The rooftop scenery is beautiful, you can go up and see. Is it really unthinkable that there are no slippers? It's better to live in a Chinese homestay (。_í。) The price/performance ratio feels quite average I think 200 RMB is the best. It is worthy of praise: the friend's mobile phone fell into the taxi, the handsome guy at the front desk worked very hard to actively help find someone, chase the phone, thank you very much In addition, remember to tip your babies when you go out.
Hotel Casa Gardenia
4.7/563 Reviews
I stayed here on a solo trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos. My guide recommended Hotel Casa Gardenia and I am so glad that he did. It was a wonderful place to stay, well situated in the Historic Centre of Quito. I felt very safe wandering the area especially with the map the front end people gave me that showed where it was advisable to walk or not walk. The service was impeccable. I have celiac disease and they gave me options for the breakfast ,which I appreciated. My room was on the street side of the building and there was some street noise. However, I put my sound machine on and it was absolutely fine. I loved coming in at the end of the day and having a glass of wine in the sitting area, looking at the view. One little bonus, directly across the street was a laundromat. I was able to have all my cleaning done before departing back home.
Friends Hotel & Rooftop
