I loved my stay at Casa Gardenia. Location was very convenient to restaurants. I felt safe walking at night to go out to dinner. The hotel was multi level and had a great view of the city on the 3rd floor. Breakfast was good with bread, fruits and eggs. Staff was very nice. I would stay here again.

We had an excellent two-night stay. We had two rooms for the four of us, and both were clean, quiet, and comfortable. We enjoyed the mix of old and new in the building's construction. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We'll stay here again when we pass through Quito on our way home from the Galapagos.

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.

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.

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.

We loved Casa Gardenia, especially the kindness and friendliness of the family proprietors. We had a morning checkout prior to a midnight flight back to the US, but when I felt ill later (altitude plus maybe some suspect shrimp at dinner), they lent me a room, gratis, to lie down in all afternoon while the others went out in search of the Basilica and artisanal chocolate. Throughout our stays (we were here two weeks earlier on our way to the Galapagos), they were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Before our arrival, they offered to arrange for transport to and from the airport, and our taxi driver was both friendly and totally reliable. The hotel itself is an attractive mixture of a newer interior in the partial shell of an older building, with views over the historic part of Quito from an open-air deck and the breakfast area. They serve a generous breakfast: fresh fruit, eggs, juice, rolls, and a side plate with olives, ham, and cheese. Cereal and milk are available, and of course coffee and tea. We would absolutely stay there again if we revisit Quito.

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

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!
