Great one night stay at casa alquima. We’re just stopping over before our land tour. We had booked the family room which had 3 beds and was easiest the biggest room in the hacienda. Checkin/checkout was smooth and the breakfast was exceptional. Also walking distance to all the major attractions. Also felt safe due to the fob security. Highly recommended.

Lovely room in a 500 year old hotel. Big rooms, but also couches and armchairs in the shared balconies and courtyards. Very friendly staff Fabulous breakfast Right next to La Ronda - which was disappointing. Allegedly the arts precinct full of music, but instead full of pizza places and karaoke. Spent most of my time in the hotel - lucky it was such a nice place

We had a great stay at Hotel Casa Alquimia. The staff was fantastic. The hotel itself was historic and decorated artfully. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The hotel is well located in the historic center of Quito. All the main squares, churches and museums were within easy walking distance. It was easy to get a cab or the Metro to go further. The street out front was lively (and quite noisy) during the day. We would definitely, happily, stay there again.

This is a very lovely ecuadorian style hotel, with very friendly staff. It has marvelous decorations all over, the beds are comfortable, the showers are hot. It does not have elevators, but the staff happily carried our bags to the third floor, where our room overlooked a plaza. The breakfast was made to order with a marvelous bowl of fresh fruit. It is right in the heart of the old city and was quite safe to walk at night. It was so nice to stay in a hotel that was different from the cookie cutter american type of hotel.
