The single room I was given was as sparse as it gets. The bed was extremely hard. My traveling companions also complained about the beds. Be prepared to be awakened by airliners through the night. The Wi-Fi is iffy- I was only able to get online once with my Nexus 7 tablet when we were there. There are better choices... More

The hotel picked me up at the airport, which was nice since I was arriving so late at night. As for my room, the bed was comfortable, and the room was cozy. The sheets were worn, stained, and had holes in them. The carpet needed vacuuming. The sink, toilet, and shower were clean, but the walls and mirror had toothpaste... More

Friendly, helpful, clean, quiet and hot water! Located in the same neighborhood as the French Embassy and the Hilton Hotel. Near many restaurants and bodegas, and stores, plus the crafts market. Ive stayed here 4 or 5 times. Its "a find". Try this place first. Ray Mills

I spent one night at the hotel and marveled at the decor. It really needs someone with money to bring this beautiful old hotel back to life. I would sit at the patio and just tried to imagine what it once was, the elegance it once had. The staff is more than accommodating and there is always someone there who... More

I stayed at this hotel for 10 nights in June/July 2011. This hotel is close to everything, but very quiet at night. The beds are comfy and the view from the rooms in the upper floors is beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again. They also have convenient laundry service.

Nice hotel, cheap and good environment. Its a very comfortable and roomy hostel.

I became friends with the staff and met people from around the world during my stay. The hotel is also next to the National Symphony's practice space so there is 24 hour security for them that...

We stayed here for 10 nights over 3 weeks and were able to negotiate a great rate - do email the hotel directly to get the best rate. The location of this hotel is great - 5 blocks/ 15 mins from the main tourist square in Quito, Plaza Foch. A good night´s sleep is hard to come by in this... More

We stayed two nights at the Plaza in February 2010. It is a converted old mansion and is worn but very clean. We found folks staying long term and just overnight. The staff is great and speaks fair English. Hot water is slow in coming but plentiful when it gets there. The hotel is close (3-4 blocks) from the center... More
