Staying at Hotel La Basilica was a highlight of our time in Quito.

I'm excited we get to rate this hotel twice because we loved it that much! We stayed for 2 days at the Hotel La Basilica, left most of our luggage with them while we walked the Quilotoa Loop, and then returned to the Hotel La Basilica for another 2 night stay. The staff there arranged for a return ride for us from Quilotoa and to the airport which was super easy and the price was very reasonable. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and were always available if we needed anything, and their attention to detail was impressive. We felt super safe, the food was great, and the hotel itself was absolutely spotless and beautiful. The history and architecture of the building was also truly special. The 2 enclosed courtyards were amazing, and the views from the rooftop balcony of all the famous sights was a fun bonus. We will be recommending to anyone we know that is going to Quito to stay here, it was definitely one of the best experiences we've had at any accommodation.

Perfect hotel. Property, location, and staff are excellent.

Fantastic property and the staff was amazing. Large, comfortable room for our family of 4. Spotless clean. The location was perfect for the old town of Quito. It’s an easy walk to the sites. Great restaurants within a few blocks. Wonderful breakfast in the courtyard. Always felt safe walking around Old Town. Less concerning than any large city in the US. There are a handful of hotels we’ve stayed in around the world that are truly special - this is one of them.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel La Basílica in Quito. The location is outstanding—just a short walk from the historic center, making it easy to explore the city’s beautiful churches, plazas, restaurants, and museums while still enjoying a peaceful atmosphere. The hotel itself is charming, beautifully restored, and full of character. Our room was comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully designed, blending historic charm with modern amenities. Every morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with fresh local ingredients that gave us a great start to the day. What truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and eager to help with recommendations, transportation, and anything else we needed. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a boutique hotel with excellent service, a perfect location, and a unique atmosphere in Quito’s Historic Center, Hotel La Basílica is an excellent choice. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Quito

Disappointing - not sure how it gets the high ratings

The location was as described. The rooftop view is interesting although not particularly beautiful. Best part of our stay was the friendly hotel maid who checked us out. She gave us bracelets as a parting gift.

  • Don’t know how this hotel gets its ratings?! There were padlocks on the doors that we had to use to lock ourselves in, the room was so hot. No air conditioning only a mounted fan. Very little air circulation so it makes it hot to sleep. There were gnats in our room and all in the bathroom. Clean towels were set up on the show bed runner. Not very smart. Bedding had stains. The hotel is small and has strange decor; feels a little creepy. The person who met us to check in was grumpy and not very friendly. Hotel is not accommodating. When asking about if they have a place we could leave luggage the woman pointed to a big sign that says we would have to pay for an additional night to store any luggage. There’s also little picky signs everywhere in the building reminding you to save water, turn off lights, washing any clothing in the sink is forbidden, etc. worse sign was about thieves throwing mud- not a safe area. Oh and be ready to have to throw all your used toilet paper in the trash that’s practically on top of the toilet. I’ve traveled the world and know this is typical in some countries but it was not well done in this hotel. The hole in the wall by the bathroom was not very nice either. Overall, not the experience we thought we would have. Had a mix up with the room where she gave us on room that was a family room with the second room blocked off by a wardrobe- no explanation that it was a family room. Paid for two rooms then ended up getting the family room together as it was more secure. Expensive for what we got. Very strange experience overall. I’m sure there are better places to stay in Quito!

It was a wonderful personalized stay.

Hotel La Basílica Quito is a wonderful place to stay in the historic center of Quito. The hosts are gracious, informative, and caring. The room was immaculate and beautiful and the hotel is a wonderfully preserved historic home. Breakfast was served graciously and included a fresh cut assortment of tasty fruit and eggs prepared to order. We felt well cared for here.

Visit to Quito Ecuador. This historic and beautiful hotel is an excellent choice, centrally located in the old city. The

The staff is so accommodating, and the rooms are beautifully appointed. Nice warm showers, excellent breakfast included. Two patios, one with a vertical garden. Access to the roof top for a view of the sunrise. We all agreed we would definitely stay there again.
