Cozy comfortable hotel in the center of Quito
Cozy hotel in the historical center. Relatively simple accommodations but comfortable, with a good breakfast and a very warm staff. Top floor has a nice open veranda overlooking the west side of Quito and an enclosed "living room" to hang out. Would definitely stay there again!

We spent 6 nights at Hotel Casa Gardenia. The staff made our stay so easy and convenient. Rooms were very nice, view from the lounge on the top floor was amazing and the location in Old Town made it very easy to get to sites.

Little gem in the clouds
Been here a few times . Great staff and friendly owners. The best view of Quito you can find. Cute hotel in a quaint area of town. Everything you want to do is only blocks away. The new metro in three blocks from the hotel and fantastic. Need anything just ask the owners they are always around and extremely helpful and speak perfect English. If I had one complaint it’s that for us low landers it’s even higher then old town Quito and can make altitude issues for some of us pretty tough. I would suggest they have coca leaf tea available 24/7 and maybe even a basket of coca leaves to chew on. They really help. Besides that it’s a sweet spot.

The staff are so kind and accommodating. We had to leave early one morning and they packed us a breakfast to go. They provide a nice map of historic Quito which is easily walkable from the hotel and safe. Loved our stay!

Wonderful little place.
This place is amazing, but most importantly, the host, Andres, and his staff all do everything they can to make your stay great. Good showers, comfortable beds, great breakfast. One of the best smaller places I have ever stayed at. Would recommend.
Hard to find- only a small sign on the door.

Great Spot in Old Quito
Our stay was exceptional and I would return in a minute. Breakfast was superb with matching service. The front desk went out of the way to provide us with a map, directions and advice for restaurants and safety. The hotel has great night time views.
Highly recommended!!!

An Architectural Gem in Quito
This BnB is a real find in the Historic Center. It is an architectural gem with stunning views.
The people could not be nicer, even at 4:45 am when they arranged a taxi pick me up. Restaurant suggestions were also excellent.

Hotel is in a great location. Owner was wonderful. We felt very welcomed!
Only thing I had to get used to was the noise of the buses that passed by and rattle the windows, At first, I thought it was an earthquake.

Beautiful property with rooftop patio!
Incredible stay, beautiful property. The rooftop sitting area has incredible city vistas, great for coffee or wine in the evening . Andres was such a considerate host. He even let us check out very late as we had a midnight flight out. Really good breakfast, fresh fruit, eggs, juice and range of bread /pastries.

We loved our stay! The bed is comfortable, the staff are exceptional, and the breakfast was the perfect start to our day. I particularly liked that the hotel reached out to see if I wanted to set up an airport pickup. I did and we really liked our driver Freddy. We ended up taking a day trip with him the next day. This property was perfect for our stay at Quito, however, I have to note the walls were quite thin. Regardless, we would come back!

Quito sojourn
The hotel is located on a quiet street within the Old Town that makes sites and restaurants easily walkable. The building itself has a warm aesthetic emphasized with an open wooden stairwell and rooms that incorporate the original historic walls. The management carried our bags and brought up a lovely bottle of wine, which we enjoyed from a lounge area with magnificient views of the city. Of note, there was also assistance with taxis and excellent eating recommendations.

The best visit ever!
This was the best hotel stay ever. We are traveling a lot and this really was the best experience ever. Our room was beautiful, very clean and perfect for the couple. Hospitality from the owner and his team was beyond what we could have asked for. They allowed us to check out almost 7h later to avoid sitting at the airport for hours. Breakfast was fantastic, very fresh fruits and delicious pastries. Great location too, we were able to walk to main tourist attractions in the city and to some restaurants. We felt very safe and welcomed. Do not hesitate, this is the place where you want to stay while visiting Quito’s
