Quito Museums review

Quito Museums

Quito’s museums show us the great cultural richness, which made out of Quito one of the Humanity Patrimony declared. We can find different issues: religious and colonial art represented in paintings, sculptures; aborigines and Inca’s archeology pieces; art expositions from the modern and ethnic Republic, which represent the when Quitos identity and beauty.

Our First Day: Hotel Patio Andaluz and Old Town

We arrive at midnight exhausted by many hours spent travelling. Our jounrye here was fraught with delays and missed connections and brought back phrases from one of my favourite movies, Enchanted April "We're in God's hands now, Lottie!", when the Lottie and Rose, abroad for the first time, step trustingly into a carriage they hope is taking them to their rented Italian villa. We actually either said this phrase, or thought it every time we stepped into a cab throughout the trip! And like Lot...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Patio Andaluz Hotel Quito

Really liked Hotel Patio Andaluz

from OldChap33
We stayed 5 nights at Hotel Patio Andaluz in June 2006. We stayed on 3 separate occasions in 3 different rooms. We found the hotel really excellent, the rooms were spacious and everything in them worked well. The hotel has two patios or courtyards, and the rooms overlook them. There is one free internet console. The dining area is in the front patio. The food in the dining room is really excellent. The staff are very helpful. There is a bit of traffic noise for rooms at the front, overlooking the street. The hotel has a lot of charm, and is situated near the historic centre. However some of the shops nearby are downmarket. I am glad we stayed here, rather than in the nondescript chain hotels in the less characterful commercial area.

Charming but no spa!!

from A TripAdvisor Member
We arrived at the "Spa" Hotel to find out that there was infact no Spa, but still the staff were freindly and the place is great. The rooms were spacious, ours consisted of two floors with the bedroom on top. Definately would have benefitted with air conditioning as it was a bit stuffy at night. Overall enjoyed the Hotel, only there 2 nights though!

Charming hotel...BUT

from janeb
We just returned from Ecuador where we stayed at the Patio Andaluz for three nights prior to heading for the Galapagos. It is a charming hotel located only one block from the main square in the old city. The only part of Quito with any character and charm is the old city so it is a good location.

Be warned, however, that the old city is crowded and the air quality is terrible. Diesel buses are belching exhaust and there is a lot of traffic and dirt. So much so that the windows at the Patio Andaluz are double paned and DO NOT OPEN! There is no ventilation system in the rooms so there is no hope of fresh air unless you leave the door to your room opened to the central courtyard of the hotel.This works during the day, but doesn't help when you want to sleep. The temperature in Quito was in the upper 60's when we were there and our room was impossibly hot. We looked at other rooms ..same problem. We also had a shower that would not produce anything but cold or hot water. Couldn't combine the water. The management said they have a problem with that in some rooms. We had a junior suite, which was very spacious and nicely decorated. The bathroom was very modern.



Other than the above complaints we liked the hotel for its charm, excellent food and wonderful staff. If you go during cool weather it is the perfect place to stay.

A Great boutique hotel

from fraja61
I would say this is probably the best hotel we have ever stayed in on holiday.

Excellent service and great food. The staff is very friendly and professional.

A 500 years old house renovated as a boutique hotel. Beautiful rooms and restaurant.

Hermosas y espaciosas habitaciones y excelente comida.

Wonderful

from CAB
I have been wanting to write a review since my visit to the hotel in Oct 2004, but could not seem to find the Patio Andaluz in the list of Quito hotels.

All has been said in the first two reviews: incredible charm, wonderful service, great location.

For those who want a taste of colonial history, this is the place to stay.

A real Gem

from A TripAdvisor Member
This place is a real Gem. We stayed with them on four seperate occassions during our time in Quito and each time was excellent. The setting, location, staff and food all deserve high marks. I would highly recommend staying here.

Loved it!

from A TripAdvisor Member
This was a fabulous hotel in the old part of Quito, very close to Independence Square. It is composed of two courtyards with rooms looking into the courtyards but with no windows onto the streets (as far as I could tell). The service was first class and the staff delightful. The staff were all dressed in rather strange 'olde fashioned' garb which, actually, only led further to the charm of the place.

However, the food was slightly disappointing given the high standards of the rest of the hotel - in that it just wasn't that well cooked, no matter how nicely it was presented.

And make sure you ask for proper coffee at breakfast - otherwise you'll be expected to make do with instant coffee at the buffet table!
