The Hotel is beautiful, the food was superb, the service was also top notch, their version of a mojito was one of the best I've had ,their breakfast buffet is nice too. The location is awesome, steps from the San Francisco Church and museum.

10/10 Exceptional

The Casa Gangotena was perfection! The hotel itself is beautiful and the staff was gracious and attentive. We stayed in a very comfortable, large room with a spectacular view of the Plaza de San Francisco. We enjoyed breakfast and a wonderful dinner at the hotel and loved that the menu included local cuisine. Plus, the prices were reasonable - we would have easily paid twice as much at home for a meal of the same caliber. You also shouldn't miss a late afternoon cocktail on the rooftop!

This Hotel is phenomenal. Perfectly located in the heart of Quito historic district. Hotel is fully renovated and staff is very friendly. Food in the restaurant is delicious. Café quiteño experience between 4-6pm at the lobby area is great!

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.

10/10 Exceptional

We were treated like royalty. Room was a bit cold for our liking but there was a portable heater available.
Prudence, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Demery, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Significant leaking in the room on our final day.
Danielle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Wonderful historic property that has been updated and has both warmth and style. The staff pampered my family and introduced us to Ecuadorian new year traditions on the rooftop terrace with the other guests that was a memorable and unexpected way to ring in the new year. The restaurant is a fabulous showcase of Ecuadorian cuisine and excellent cocktails and fine wine. First class in every respect. I recommend without reservation.
