Convenient location, big rooms
We had a private room with two beds, and there was plenty of space for two of us and our luggage. The location is very central to Old Town, but that means it is very loud. The windows are old (like they are in every other building in this city) so all of the noise comes in from the busy pedestrian street. You would be hard pressed to find a quite hotel in this city though, so I can't fault this place for being a bit loud. The hostel itself was very quiet inside, we never heard other people being loud or partying. Breakfast was simple but good (eggs and toast with fresh juices, coffee and tea). There is also a very cool balcony that offers incredible city views. The location is great if you want to explore all of the Old Town by foot.
Staff was great about helping us organize taxis to the airport and bus stations.
Be prepared though - only some of the staff speaks English. Mateo was awesome and helped us with pretty much everything!

Clean, family-run hotel in the historical district
I thought Matteus and his family did an excellent job, were very accommodating to the guests, were eager to give advice and suggestions to make my trip more enjoyable. I actually extended my stay, and will be staying here when I retrun to Quito

Great hotel right in the historical center
The staff were great and easy to communicate with both before and during my stay. The location of the hotel was perfect for exploring the historical center of Quito. My room could have used some simple cosmetic upgrades, but it was very comfortable, and the hotel itself is beautiful. The free breakfast was also delicious and substantial.

Fantastic location
Fantastic location. Major landmarks, parks, churches, Presidental Palace, etc. are just 3-6 blocks away.
The staff are excellent. Extremely accommodating and ready to help. Alberto, owner/manager, made us feel like family members.
Will certainly stay there on our next visit.

Well located, good value
As hostals go it is pretty comfortable and clean located in a charming 18century Spanish town house. The family rooms are spacious and good value for families and groups traveling together. Single/double rooms are OK for clean basic accommodation. Good breakfast and manager is multi-lingual, kind and helpful. Excellent central location though it can be noisy outside until late.

Welcoming staff, in Historic Center
Staff were helpful and friendly. No safe in room, but lockers available which we used for several days between stays when we were outside the city. Street noise tolerable and allowed us to wake and see a procession to one of the nearby churches one early morning. Breakfasts were generous, and staff graciously served us ahead of usual hours on several morning when we had early plans.

Excellent location in the Historic Area
We had excellent service at this lodging. The hosts speak English, Spanish and Portugese and were friendly and helpful with arrangements, choosing a taxi, translating. They have storage facilities, a good breakfast including eggs, toasted buns, fruit, juice, coffee and tea. There is a computer for guest use. . Laundry service available on site. Thanks Quito Cultural for going out of your way to make our stay pleasant. Loved the artwork.
