Top Independence Square Hotel Reviews

Hotel Casa Alquimia

8/10 Good

"Comfy and friendly hotel in a central location."

Old Town Quito Suites, Apartments & Boutique hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff"

Casona Tobar Hotel - Hotel escuela

8/10 Good

"Don't have elevator. Too much stairs. Not recommend for handicap"

Friends Hotel & Rooftop - Historic Center & Museums

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 10 days and the staff was excellent, very helpful. Room was clean and the wifi worked perfect. The breakfasts were absolutely fantastic and varied a little every day."

La Casona de la Ronda Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Brilliant staff, very friendly and helpful. Nice restaurant and lovely decor."

Real Audiencia Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great for what we needed for a night and the price was very affordable. Staff were very nice and happily switched us to an inside facing room to avoid the traffic noise below. It’s an older style hotel located just two blocks from the main area so super easy to walk to all of the activities."

Hotel San Francisco de Quito

8/10 Good

"The staff was helpful and the property was clean, but there were a few issues with the room. 1) The water drained very slowly in the shower which caused the shower to flood with water when using it. 2) Often, the hot water was only slightly warm, and rarely it would be hot, then become slightly warm again, so showers were a little uncomfortable. 3) The room had no heating, so they were a little cold. 4) There's also no key to enter the hotel front gate, you have to hit a buzzer and someone will unlock the front gate, which was not convenient. This was an inexpensive hotel, so you get what you pay for. If you don't want to spend much and can tolerate the inconveniences, then this place can work."

Rincón Familiar Hotel Boutique

8/10 Good

"WiFi was decent but did break up sometimes. Friendly staff but often didn’t have information such as once I asked about laundry and the staff wasn’t sure and didn’t try to help and find out. It’s a budget hostel, good value for the money in the city historic center. You can walk alone at night u til about 830-9pm. Uber is plentiful. Decent traditional restaurants around within walking distance. Hostel is quiet except for the construction - so be mindful if you take naps or sleep in behind 8am. There is no refrigerator to store food and the staff wasn’t helpful about it. Bathrooms are small but completely updated. Hot water is warmer but not super hot. Pressure is good. No elevator. Narrow stairs. Extra blankets available if you need it."

Carlota Sustainable Design Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is truly a gem. From the decor to the location to the wonderful staff, we had a wonderful stay. It has a great rooftop bar with amazing views and the dinner we had their restaurant was one of the best meals we had on our 17 days in Ecuador. The breakfast was top notch too. The hotel is gorgeous and you are right in the historic center with so much beautiful architecture right at your door step. The staff went above and beyond with helping us get settled and provided us with a lovely welcome drink and appetizer. They also gave us a small bottle of wine and chocolates. I can't recommend this hotel enough!"
