I recently stayed in a plaza view room for four nights, and it was a fantastic experience. The room was elegantly decorated with a beautiful view of the plaza, which was always bustling with activity. The staff was attentive and kind, and the breakfast options were delightful. However, my experience at the hotel restaurant was not as impressive as expected. Overall, I would highly recommend this charming hotel for its beauty and comfort, despite a few dining shortcomings.

I had an amazing stay at Casa Gangotena, where the elegance of the hotel truly took my breath away. The staff was incredibly attentive, especially Elizabeth, who helped us with laundry and arranged memorable experiences during our visit. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, offering a stunning view of the plaza. However, the restaurant service fell a bit short during our dining experience, which was unexpected given the high standard of service elsewhere in the hotel. Overall, it was a splurge that was absolutely worth it.

My stay at this boutique hotel was nothing short of outstanding. The location near San Francisco Square offered a charming atmosphere and historical richness.

This hotel offers a luxurious and elegant experience in Quito, perfect for those seeking comfort and high-quality service. Despite some noise issues on the first floor, the staff consistently impress with their attentiveness and professionalism. The dining is exceptional, but there are minor improvements needed for breakfast. The pricing for certain services can be quite opaque, so it's worth asking for clarity before booking any packages.
Rooms

The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated with a colonial flair. However, the first-floor rooms that overlook the square do have noise issues, so I'd recommend upper-floor rooms for a more peaceful stay.

The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, and the staff treats you like family, making you feel at home from the moment you walk in.
