People were great, close to plaza de Armas.

Staff was really nice. The room was comfortable and the hotel is well located almost in front of Plaza Santo domingo.

Staffs are friendly and helpful. The room is comfy and spacious. The hotel is beautiful!

Satisfied

Lovely old property close to the historic area. Easy access to restaurants. Breakfast was lovely on the rooftop- what a view!

This is a very cute hotel with a lovely view and a roof top terrace for enjoying breakfast. However, it’s dangerous in the surrounding area at night snd when we arrived they ushered us to our room without giving us any towels, water or any food option. The staff wanted to be helpful but didn’t speak English. The breakfast on the terrace made it worthwhile, though.

Friendly staff , but not A/C or fans in the rooms , also very noise at night . You can hear all noises from the next door.

They offered a driver / guide trips to various locations through the hotel which we found easy and convenient to see some main sites. The breakfast was good on a roof top cafe. Quaint hotel offering cultural flair. Only issue was the wooden floors and the sound of everyone walking and waking us . Nice staff.

We loved staying at this hotel. Staff was wonderful and the traditional property was in beautiful condition.

This hotel was a peaceful oasis in the heart of a bustling area. I especially enjoyed all the greenery and the breakfast with a view. It was really convenient to be able to walk to a number of shops, panaderias, grocery stores, etc. Personally, we felt safe walking around this side of Quito. But as an added measure of security, this hotel has locked doors that you need your hotel key to enter. So that was a nice touch for peace of mind. Since the hotel is in an older building, there is a lot of creaking from the floorboards. Just something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper. And the light fixtures could use some updating; we had to jimmy the lamps to stay in place or they would turn off. But overall, this was a great little spot to start our tour of Ecuador. If you stay here, make sure you check out the rooftop views!

Excellent location. Beautiful place full of charm that brings you back hundreds of years ago. Very friendly staff and fantastic owner. The only thing negative was that breakfast was only from 7 to 9 am which is a bit short because of the needs of the guests especially if they need to take an early flight

very special property. after entering through the doors you are transported to another world. Safe haven in a busy city. The owner is well traveled and the space is rich with collections from around the world. Safe accommodating . lovely breakfast terrace.

The room off of the rooftop patio was lovely.

Charming, safe, right in the heart of colonial Quito, with a kind and attentive staff!

The staff were excellent and the property had immense character.

Hotel Casa Alquimia was perfect for our stay. A typical South American style hotel at a great price. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the view on the rooftop is a bonus. The only thing to note is the traffic outside can sometimes be a bit noisy, but overall it was not too bothersome. (Maybe bring some earplugs to sleep with if you are more sensative to outside noises) The location in the old town is great with many attractions within walking distance. The hotel helped us organize an airport transfer very early in the morning which was greatly appreciated. The staff is welcoming and helped to make our stay quite pleasant and if you did not book any tours, they offer help with that too!

Nice house, beautifully decorated. Look like an hacienda The owner is very nice and helpful. Located to a few steps to the center. Not a safe area in the evening.

We enjoy our stay in quito . Amazing breakfast and service was exeptional. We will visit again.

Loved the property. Breakfast was served on the terrace, which had a great view of Quito’s angel.

Charming and historical; convenient location

Beautiful family-owned and run property, a lovely little oasis in the heart of old town Quito. We walked to some museums, churches, and good food. The family is excellent -- they are so hospitable and accommodating and serve the most delicious breakfast each morning. Highly recommend!

Nice place just like the pictures

Pretty, historic property with a nice breakfast on the roof. Had issues with check in (they did not have my name spelled correctly). Rooms open up into the courtyard so you can hear other guests at the property from your room. Would book elsewhere if you seek more privacy. I also prepaid and as I checked out they tried to tell me I needed to still pay- which was not the case. For a non Spanish speaker this would’ve been a problematic situation.

Beautiful place, great breakfast..lovely staff

Very friendly staff in a hotel with great character. Would happily come back!

Excellent stay at Casa Alquimia. We ordered the shuttle taxi from the airport and our flight was delayed but they waited for us and we were escorted to our room in the night. Breakfast on the roof top was delicious and with a great view of the Virgin Statue. Room is confortable and nicely decorated. Plenty of places to sit in the courtyard and the decor is colonial and beautiful. Although we did not speak Spanish, we had no problem to communicate. We ordered a taxi back to the airport at 3:30 am and they had one person up to make sure we got it. A perfect stay in colonial Quito!

Beautiful historic building !

Lovely boutique hotel in a great location in the historic centre. The building is beautiful with lots of interesting decor and common spaces to explore. Breakfast was very good - including coffee/tea, juice, fruit, eggs, bread, cheese etc. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hot water in the shower takes a couple of minutes to warm up.

This hotel was wonderful all around. If you are looking for something fancy then this place is not for you, but if you are looking for something that feels like staying in a friend's home then you will love this. This place feels more like a B and B than a hotel. The service is top-notch. They will arrange airport pickup and dropoff for you. It is located in the old town close to all the churches and museums. It is family-owned and run and everyone is so nice and friendly. Breakfast is included and served on the upper level with fantastic views of the city. It includes fresh juice, coffee or tea, fresh fruit, eggs and toast. Our flight didn't leave until after midnight on our last day but we checked out and they stored our bags for us the entire day while we did one final tour. We returned and were able to change clothes and even hang out in the lobby area for our taxi to the airport. The room could be a little noisy from the street noise but that's to be expected due to the location(which was excellent). The bed was fairly comfortable but the pillows could have been softer. Not a big deal. If we come back to Quito I will definitely try to stay here again. What a gem of a place.

Nice and safe hotel. Good BF. Good service from the hotel staff.

Staff is very friendly and helpful!

Great location in Old Town. The owner is very responsive and helped arranged airport transfers. Good communication. The hotel has a unique history, beautifully decorated and excellent view Quito and Virgin Mary Statue from the rooftop. Great breakfast.
