My sister, age 11 at the time, wrote: We arrived at the airport at 18.30h and checked our baggage through then we went out by the terminals and registered all of our camera equipment then we set all of our stuff down and Ardie and Grandpa watched it. Mom, Dad, and I went to look for a book for me to read. We found one: Elephants Can Remember, by Agatha Christie (myster). We then went back and waited for about a half hour until boarding time (20.00h). Ardie and I had seats 8E and 8F. Mom and D...

Return to Quito - Day 6 and 7

Ugh, up at 5 again just to slog through the rain to the river boats. Strange greasy(but welcome) breakfast from a sack on board. Very, very cold and windy and somewhat wet trip back - a full 3 hours. I felt so sorry for the couple at the front of the boat that had no windbreak at all. Very glad for my fleece and windbreaker that I almost didn't bring. Regrouping in Coca before our flight to Quito I stopped to take a pic of this Toucan that was hanging around the hotel. I think they leave foo...

Day 1, 2 Arrival Quito

Day 1 Well, here begins the adventure. A long day of travel, happily uneventful and I am here in my hotel wondering what tomorrow will bring. I think I was out of that airport faster than I have ever been on an international trip. 5 minutes max including customs, bag pickup(they actually check your tags!) and meeting my GAP rep driver. Amazing. The hotel check in - not quite so smooth. My reservation had been canceled that day - according to the hotel - by GAP. So at least part of tomorrow wi...

Day 40 - Arrived in Quito from Lima around 4pm and again no problem with the altitude (about 10,000 feet) or immigration/customs etc.

There was a massive hillside fire near the hotel, at first i thought it was lava and was a little worried. Seems to be a nice place, though weather seems a bit funny. After the 25 degree afternoon sun, it was thunder and lightening later in the evening, not sure if being 15 miles from the equator plays a part in this, but apparently the weather is very ...

Ecuador!

So set off for Pasto with Henrique, a Portuguese guy heading the same way, on Friday at about ten. Fairly uneventful, if long, journey in a coach, lovely green scenery with endless mountain passes but very happy to get to Pasto in the end. Pasto is a bit of a weird town, in the middle of nowhere, seemingly obsessed with fast food and in particular fried chicken so it was a struggle to find a much needed nice place to eat. Also, although it was Fridy night, most of the bars seemed to be situat...

Lost in the Amazon

If I hadn't personally booked this trip myself through an agency, I really would have thought that I was lost in the Amazon. The place was literally in the middle of nowhere with no civilisation around, well except for the Internet sign right outside the dining area. I was shocked to see that, but even more astonished to find out it cost 10 USD per hour! Oh by the way, in cease you didn't know, since I didn't, the currency of Ecuador is USD, since 2003. This truly was once of the highlights o...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Hotel Quito - Compass Hotels

Buen hotel

from trvlbg
El Hotel Quito es cómodo, limpio y cuenta con un buen servicio. La primera noche había una fiesta en la piscina pero el ruido no nos molestó demasiado. El baño y las camas estaban muy limpias y también tenían televisión por cable por lo que pudimos ver mucha televisión en inglés. El hotel facilitaba un servicio de Internet gratuito durante los primeros 15 minutos lo cual resulta barato si vas por ahí y comparas. El desayuno era sorprendente. Mucho donde escoger (frutas, yogurt, beicon, salchichas, distintos tipos de pan, zumo de fruta natural, café). El casino estaba cerrado por obras cuando estuvimos ahí por lo que desconozco cómo sería. El hotel está en lo alto de una colina así que si bajas hacia abajo, te encuentras con muchas escuelas y restaurantes/tiendas que sirven a estudiantes. Lo cual significa comidas baratas. Comimos un pastel de canela por menos de 0,50 dólares norteamericanos. Está bien pasear de día pero es aconsejable coger un taxi cuando anochece.

Humo de los motores diesel

from cnyrealtor
En las habitaciones que dan a la fachada principal entra todo el ruido de la calle así como los olores (¡¡el humo producido por los motores diesel era horrible!!). Las habitaciones que dan a los jardines y a la zona de la piscina, en la parte posterior, son mucho más tranquilas.

Good choice for moderate budget

from MackinacGal
I just returned from an 8 night stay at the Hotel Quito. I was in Quito with 3 other colleagues for work and stayed at the Hotel Quito because the people arranging our local affairs booked us there. During the 8 nights in the hotel, I stayed in 3 separate rooms and am confident that I have a good feel for the hotel. We found this hotel to be more than adequate for the price. The rooms were spotelessly clean and the beds were quite comfortable. The staff was accomodating and moved me to a king sized bed overlooking the pool (and fantastic view) immediately when a room became available. The rooftop restaurant (7th floor) has a spectacular view and the attached lounge is an excellent place to unwind after a long day. The breakfast buffet is extensive (especially for this part of the world) but the evening meals were only adequate. This hotel has an excellent fitness room and a beautiful (and spacious) outdoor pool and garden. The security in this hotel was excellent. My only concern about this hotel is that the business center needs more access for internet because the in room wireless is extremely expensive. This hotel appears to be very popular with tour groups and depending on the day of the week, the lobby can be crowded as it is often used as a staging area for the tours. This hotel is not an americanized U.S. brand hotel but certainly delivers an equivalent experience. It also has an excellent gift store with very acceptable prices.

Good hotel

from trvlbg
Hotel Quito was a comfortable, clean, and with good service. The first night there was a party by the pool but the noise didn't bother us too much. The bathroom and beds were clean and they had cable so we were able to watch plenty of English television. Hotel provided free Internet service for the first 15 mins and it's still cheap if you go over. The breakfast was amazing. Lots of selection (fruits, yogurt, bacon, sausage, diff. kinds of breakfast breads, fresh fruit juice, coffee). The casino was closed for renovation when we were there so don't know what that would be like. Hotel is top of a hill so if you walk down it, you'll hit a lot of schools and restaurants/shops that cater to students. Which means cheap eats. Had a cinnamon bun for less than USD $0.50. Okay to walk around during the day time but recommend taking a taxi after dark.

Managed By Cheats

from A TripAdvisor Member
We were booked into the Hotel Quito by our travel agent from the States. We paid for a "superior" room. Burned out lightbulbs in half the fixtures, room so dim it looked like a flophouse in a detective novel. Fixtures rattled in the bathroom, poor plumbing all around. The worst was the row at breakfast. Yes, they are wonderful and they were suppose to be included in what we paid for the room, which was $100/night. There was no record of this at the hotel. Jesus Sanchez, the manager, was never there although we went to the lobby to ask the useless clerks for him three times. Erwin Dominguez, the clerk to swindled us, acknowledged his error, then refused to refund our money. A blatant cheap. The view is not worth the irritation to stay at this hotel. Any hotel that cheats you and does not care should be wiped off the tourist maps.

Diesel fumes

from cnyrealtor
Rooms overlooking the front get all the city and street noise & smells (the diesel fumes were awful!!)

Rooms overlooking the gardens and pool area in back are much quieter.

Pretty gross

from BHM
gross bathrooms- rude at the front desk, smoky lobby, old hotel with bright casino lights outside and not a good location for tourism. Great breakfast.

we paid 68 with tax. Spend a little more and stay at the mercure we paid 85 with tax for modern hotel in the new city ( still bathroom was not too great). Nicest place was Patio Andaluz 85 with tax in old city but our toilet wouldn't flush, we had no water pressure, and they have one person at the front - it took 25 minutes to check in but at least the Patio Andaluz is very pretty and aunique boutique hotel.

swiss hotel is the fanciest and most expensive.

Quito is nothing special - head to the jungle, galapagos or volcanoes.

Regular hotel with great view

from KSergey
The glory of Hotel Quito is in the past. Nowadays it's a regular 4* hotel which rooms got old furniture, spoiled carpets and primitively equipped bathrooms. The only feature that still helps it to maintain the former popularity is its great location. What an incredible, breathtaking view!!!

Particularly from restaurant on the upper floor with wide panoramic windows. Yes, the second hit of Hotel Quito is its restaurant. Fantastic view combines with delicious food - what could be better? Breakfasts are excellent (buffet service). Fresh fruits and juices, baked delis, cereals, dairy products, hot dishes of eggs and bacon, potato and meat, vegetables and poultry... and the flavor of Andean coffee which makes you crazy.

Plus very friendly personnel and thousands of fresh roses. Smiles and marvelous flowers are around you. And you still hesitate to stay in Hotel Quito?

This hotel can't get better!

from 1ofakind
this hotel is simply the best! outstanding service, wonderful buffet for breakfast and tea... and the grounds are lovely.suggust not getting a room to close to jazzerize room, for noise. elegant old colonial building and grounds. will visit again! free internet serice.

Great View; Nice Property

from GFJ
The Hotel Quito may not be the most modern of the large hotels in Quito but it has the best view. It is located on top of a hill overlooking the city on nice grounds with a heated pool. The American Ambassador's house is around the corner. Distances are short in Quito, so you can easily be downtown in 5 to 10 minutes.

The hotel is renovating the rooms so ask for a renovated room. Note also that few rooms have queen beds. Most are either King or doubles. If you like large breakfasts, get breakfast included with your room. They have a wonderful breakfast buffet.

Be aware that most of the large hotels are not far from the airport so flights may disturb you. They usually end by 11:00 pm and start up at about 7:00 am.

The staff was very nice.
