The history of this building is unbelievable! We had a balconey room and was able to view the street and people walking by. The staff bent over backwards to fulfill your wish and gave much needed information to us tourists. The breakfast was fresh and delightful. Easy walk to many historical places. The inside courtyard and rooftop area where a plus. Many plants gave everything a warm feeling. Securty was good and we felt safe. We would definitely stay again.
P.S. we were surprised to find no heat or a/c, but the wool blankets on the bed kept us cozy warm. So it was not a problem.
We had a lovely time at the hotel San Francisco, staff was helpful and accommodating. We will definitely come back to this hotel in a heartbeat! Location was perfect, it was centrally located in the heart of old Quito, walking distance from all the local shops and restaurants.
I recently stayed at Hotel San Francisco de Quito, and I can’t recommend it enough! The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from all the must-see tourist spots, making it super convenient to explore the city. The hotel itself is charming and comfortable, with attentive staff who truly make you feel at home. I loved being able to stroll around and soak in the local culture. If you’re visiting Quito, this is definitely the place to stay!
Beautiful place, close-walkabout to plaza, breakfast very good - (Side Note: Off property parking well maybe because we came in at 2:00am was a concern.)
Clean, walkable property to lay your head. Had to park about a mile away. The desk clerk said the walk was " a couple blocks". I live in Ecuador, my son came to visit. His first time to Ecuador. Wanted his time here to be special (memorable). Booked a double suite. Gave me a triple suite that was nowhere near a nice room. My room was better. Finally changed rooms. That room was a bit better, but it looked like severe water damage on the ceiling. Normally stay at a different hotel when I have to come to the big city. I will go back to that hotel next time.
The staff were fantastic, they helped me see tour options and arranged the taxi pick up and drop off for the airport run. They explained where things were e.g. the metro station and where my pick up point was for a tour I was going on. They were really friendly and professional, always smiling and happy to help make my stay the best. The hotel itself was also amazing, the atmosphere was really good and friendly. I’ll recommend and will stay again if I’m ever back in Quito. It’s also very close to lots of attractions. Thank you for a great stay.
An incredible historic hotel in the walkable historic center of Quito. The staff were friendly and helpful. They provided great advice and recommendations. They helped set up transportation to the airport. It felt safe and secure and had wonderful access to the roof to see the skyline.

My wife and I stayed four days in an inside room on the second floor street side. The room was large and had very high windows covered with some material to block vision. The hallway was very old hardwood floor and everytime someone walked past the room in addition to their foosteps there was an accompanying sound which I atribute to the loose floorboards stretching. The breakfast was one serving each of diced eggs, bread, fruit and a beverage. After checking in we discovered that the hotel had several upstairs rooms offering panoramic views of Quito. The desk clerk explained that they were all reserved and only the inside rooms were available. My opinion is that the hotel is an ok place and that it would be best to reserve an upstairs room with a view.
