Location was super convenient to the Historical Center and La Ronda Street restaurants. Inside the hotel was like being in a museum and I believe they are opening a museum in 2026 with all the artifacts srounds the hotel. Breakfast was awesome every morning. Front desk extremely helpful.

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

This hotel was the best thing about my trip to Quito. Amazing building hundreds of years old. Big rooms plus lots of couches to sit overlooking the lovely courtyard. Lovely breakfast. But the main attraction was the really friendly and welcoming staff. A great find. Thanks!

This hotel is nothing short of excellent. It was very affordable. Our room was huge and the beds were super comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. The whole hotel was beautifully decorated. The staff were friendly and so helpful with everything. We were not far from restaurants, shopping and a mini mart. I’d come back to Quito just to stay here.

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.

Everything was great from start to finish. The room was well equipped, the beds were firm but comfortable. The pillows were probably some of the best I've ever had at a hotel. The breakfast was fabulous! Eggs made to order, fresh fruit, fruit juice, hot chocolate, coffee, bread with butter and cheese. Very good and filling. All of the staff were awesome and a special thanks to Andres (I apologize if I've misspelled his name), who gave us great tips on how to see the attractions we were interested in.
