Hotel Casa Gardenia

Great location in old town. Great service from the staff. Clean and comfy rooms with 24hrs tea and snacks avail. Roof top has a great view of the city

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. Note: I wrote this same review for *******, but I think I accidentally clicked "one star" for ecofriendlyness as I exited. I'd give them five stars for that too.

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!

Cozy and friendly with flowers Casa Gardenia is a lovely little hotel in the historic district. It’s an easy walk to good restaurants and sites. The proprietor, Andres, is very friendly and helpful with information. He clearly takes pride in his hotel and his city. The rooms are not big, but they have everything you need. There are some very nice sitting areas with good views where you can relax with a book.
