This is a very different style hotel if you are used to staying in the big chains. We had a family room booked for my family of 3. My son slept in the loft and loved it. The hotel appears to have been completely restored. Lots of old wooden features and art work. There is a wine cellar where you can purchase a bottle of wine and there is a spiral stair case that takes you to the roof and gives you a GREAT view of the historical area of Quito. We encountered rain every night so we did not get the chance to go to the roof and enjoy a drink. Hotel does provide loaner umbrellas cause when it rains in Quito, it RAINS. This is an old hotel, so the floors do squeak in spots but you get used to it. Staff was amazing, they helped us book a tour and transportation. They also made us breakfast every morning with fresh fruit and eggs. Location is great. You are like 5 blocks to the basilica church in one direction, 4 blocks to a "mall" that has great food options. And 2 blocks to Teatro Sucre which is where a bunch of tour groups pick up.

We are a travelling family. We have stayed in many places and this place is amazing! The hotel is perfectly located, clean and very welcoming. Beautiful rooms and common area. It is family owned and operated and they take pride in their hotel! We highly recommend!

From the moment I made our reservation, the great service from Hotel La Basilica began. Byron reached out and offered to arrange a variety of services, including airport transport, day tours, and Covid testing. We gladly accepted, and everything went very smoothly. Byron enthusiastically greeted us upon our arrival and helped us settle in. This is a family run business, and they could not be kinder. Miriam is a sweetheart, as is Oswaldo. They serve a nice breakfast, which they personally prepare. The hotel itself is incredibly charming and historic. The location, in the Historic District, could not be more convenient. Upon our departure, Byron and Miriam personally thanked us and said goodbye. A new home away from home. Thank for a wonderful time in Quito.

My wife and I were able to get a room through Expedia at this fine VIP or boutique hotel at a very reasonable price. Shortly after reserving a room, I had a very pleasant welcoming email from Byron, the manager and owner of the hotel along with a list of all the services they offer including transportation from and to the airport. This was when we met Jimmy (driver) and his wife and were taken to the hotel where we were greeted by Byron and later, his parents. The hotel is a building that used to be a private house 200 years ago. It was purchased and turned into the hotel by Byron and his family a few years ago. They designed and supervised the transformation into the 13 bedroom unique facility with 18 century design furniture. The rooms and lobby have frescoes done patiently by an artist and made the whole complex so colorful and joyous especially around holidays. Moving on from structure to the services the hotel offers. Each morning, we were met by Byron’s mother who made breakfast for us (included) of a large collection of tropical fruits, great coffee, some type of pastry and eggs prepared to your liking. The hotel doesn’t serve lunch or dinner but Byron will guide you to the local restaurants depending on budget and desire. The facility is very clean thanks to 2 pleasant ladies who kept the room so neat and clean daily. Overall, our 9 day stay was 5/5 in everything. We will miss the place and the family until we meet again.
