Gorgeous power, beautiful rooms. Charges for additional water above the small 2 bottles provided daily, which is laughable considering the cost of the hotel room. Breakfast was fabulous.

The hotel is in the heart of the old year. It should be noted very friendly and professional staff. There is a beautiful terrace on the 3rd floor with an amazing view of the old town. Of particular note is the highest quality massage in the spa.

This is a beautiful and historic hotel in the heart of downtown Quito. The staff was incredibly accommodating and made the entire experience elegant. It is on the Plaza San Francisco and is next to a beautiful cathedral. Just take into account extra time to get into and out of the area by car as the streets are very narrow and usually congested. Loved the property and would definitely come back. The best and most beautiful hotel in Quito!

The stay was incredible! The staff was extremely attentive and helpful. The breakfast and dinner were great, the room was clean and nice and we got a lovey bottle of champagne in our room with a nice card. The garden area in the hotel as well as the roof top view were fantastic.

Must stay
Everything about our stay was wonderful! Casa Gangotena used to be a mansion and it is beautiful! The service was top notch. Everyone from valet to front desk to the restaurant was sooo nice and helpful. The food at the restaurant we good as well. I know it’s on the pricier side compared to other hotels but if you are looking for a beautiful place to stay with great service look no further.
