Hotels Near Plaza comercial Michelena in Quito

Terrific location about 10-15 minutes to the colonial centre which is beautiful with the heart apparently unchanged since Quito was within the Spanish Empire. The room we stayed in was more than ample with a lovely, comfortable bed and a purified water fountain just outside. There’s a charming courtyard and a quirky( in a nice way) feel to the place Calle La Ronda is a lively thoroughfare and the street and bar noise is significant but the double glazing helped. If you want a quieter room ask for the courtyard side. Food and drink was good and the staff, most of whom seasoned campaigners , were excellent.

Stayed in January 2024. Arrived late and was welcomed with a smile. Rooms are comfortable and quiet since mine looked out into the closed inner lobby. Breakfast was great (two eggs cooked to your liking, fruit, toast with butter and jam, juice, and coffee). The breakfast room has the nicest of views. The square where the hotel is located is lovely but it does get very quiet at night. The hotel is very safe. I did step out after dark, particularly to head to a small backstreet right behind the hotel (La Ronda), which had plenty of cute restaurants. During the day, there is no issue walking anywhere. BTW, there is a metro station (San Francisco) nearby in case you are visiting places located further away (the metro felt safe). The hotel was quiet during my stay due to the bad press around visiting Ecuador but I received white glove treatment from the personnel.

A group of 6 friends stayed at this beautiful hotel for 3 nights before heading to the Galapagos. The staff is friendly and helpful! Mauricio from the front desk is incredible and will help you set up all transportation and get you reservations at the best restaurants. The rooms are huge and well equipped. The daily breakfast was filling and delicious. Your right in the heart of the old town. Don’t skip this hotel!

Hotel was empty, super quiet, and very pretty. Comfortable beds. Lots of minor irritants make the stay unpleasant. If the hotel had more guests it would probably be loud - all windows open to the courtyard so you hear anyone talking there. The bathroom was designed by someone who doesn't use a bathroom. The counter overhangs the toilet so that the toilet lid cannot open all the way, it falls down if you try to open it, etc. The shower is cute, but to reach the valve you have to put yourself below the rain-type shower head. So you have to get sprayed by cold water to turn on the shower. These minor irritants degrade the experience and are not what one expects from a hotel that costs 2x other options. The included breakfast was awful. Scrambled eggs are more like an egg soup with some oil added. They had spaghetti with clams one morning that looked like leftovers from the night before - who eats that at 7am? Most of the bread baskets were empty, juices were empty. You'd think that no one was tending the buffet except there were 2-3 people standing around talking to each other. Again, perfectly reasonable for a hotel that costs $20/night. Not at all reasonable for a hotel that costs this much. Dinner was fine, but the menu is very limited and expensive for relatively simple food. Lots of waiters, not many guests. The dining area is set up in the open patio/courtyard which makes for a kind of weird experience of everyone being a little too close. One night there was a big table for a group that seemed to really enjoy itself - everyone else just watched and listened them as they dominated the room. The restaurant seems to cater to local events like family gatherings, which is great unless you are a hotel guest. All-in-all a nice-ish hotel that costs far more than it should. Clearly someone put some effort into the original remodel and since then the interest has waned. TV remote turns on the cable box but not the TV, you have to walk through the construction zone of the bar to get to your room, breakfast is gross, bathrooms were designed by aliens, etc, etc. There have got to be better options in this price class. Not sure why all these other reviews are so glowing. Perhaps first-time visitors to Ecuador who are just glad that they were not robbed?

The hotel is in a great location, it is only a 2 minute walk to get to Plaza Grande in the old town. Everywhere is accessible by foot. The 2 guys that work at reception are very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and the shower great. However I booked a room with air con and a safe, the room did not have either. It seemed that the rooms were all the same so I presume that the information on *********** is incorrect. The room does not have a window so it is very stuffy and hot with no ventilation. It also said at the time of booking that I pay on arrival and cards are accepted. However they did not want to accept a card and kept saying that the machine would not accept the transaction. Other guests reported the same thing. The walls are also very thin, the people in the room next to us were so noisy, the room shook when they were running around their room and you could hear every word of their conversation. Thankfully on my last night they had left and it was very quiet. Guess it is just the luck of how loud people want to be who are in the adjoining rooms. Breakfast was not to my taste but scrambled egg and a bread roll seems to be what is served everywhere in Ecuador, so if you are happy with that then you will be fine. I am not sure I would stay here again, however the location is a real bonus.

Buena ubicación buena atención y muy limpio el lugar

I stayed overnight before going to the bus terminal. The bus terminal is less than a 10-minute walk away, and the location is good. The staff are friendly and the prices are reasonable.
