The hot water is problematic.sometimes no hot water. Some rooms have mold thus smell bad. The house is old and not well maintained

Well decorated

This Hostal is very good located in the historic part of Quito. Very nice old building and big rooms. Breakfast is great and the stuff is super nice. Good place to stay in Quito.

Gorgeous property and friendly staff. We stayed at two hotels in Quito on our trip and which we’d just chosen this one! I’m still dreaming about the high ceilings and glassware and collections displayed in the hall.

This place is a hidden gem right in the heart of the city. The space in the room is good for families. We stayed here for 4 nights with our 2 kids (2 yr and 4 yr old). The room was big enough with amazing views right from our window. The breakfast area has the clear view of Penecillo. The views and the spacious rooms

So minor - but the bed sheets did not fit on all the beds and the mattress covers and pillow cases were absolutely creepy to sleep on. The shower on our last day would not heat up. But we felt these were minor as so much else was perfect for our family.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The house is lovely, well lit, tranquil, historic, a bit quirky (which we like). Breakfast room has a wonderful view. Room was spacious and beds comfy (unless your sheet came off in the night...which left the weird plasticky mattress cover)

Absolutely beautiful! Loved the traditional decorations and details throughout the entire hotel. Lovely staff, wonderful breakfast and perfect location to explore Quito. We enjoyed the spacious rooms and felt right at home. Highly recommend

The only minor issue we had was that the hot water was a bit temperamental - no hot water one morning. It sorted itself out by the evening before we had chance to report it though!

Great location as a base for staying in Quito, walking distance to the key sights in the old town and surrounded by lots of bars and restaurants. Interior of the hotel was amazing! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious!

The breakfast was very delicious and the staff very attentive, friendly and accommodating. The hotel is rather quirky, but tasteful and the rooms are very comfortable and clean. All in all, Casa Alquimia is a little Oasis in the middle of the historic centre. We could not have chosen a better place to stay.

Great hotel close to the historical centre . Rooms are large and spacious . We had a very late book in at 1 am and staff were very good to wait up for us to arrive . They help us out with any questions we had and a bonus that they had a laundry service .breakfast was filling though basic

Nothing I can think of. Wish all hotels and staff were like this one.

The breakfast was exceptional and served with love and gratitude. Even served a birthday surprise for my daughter.

Lovely owner (I think this is family run). Beds were extremely comfortable and we enjoyed the location being close to the old town attractions. We didn’t have any issues with noise personally and the breakfast was hearty. The property itself was beautiful too!

Remember that you are in a city and at night there will be city noises. Otherwise, no complaints!

My boys and I had a wonderful stay at Casa Alquimia. The hotel itself is bright, spacious and has fun, quirky decorations. Everything was very clean, and the staff was always available with a smile and helping hand, or suggestions for the area. The included breakfast was delicious and fresh, with bread, fruits, made to order eggs and yummy coffee. Even better, you step outside the front door and are in Old Town Quito, with so much to explore. That being said, going back to the hotel was a nice haven from the hustle & bustle of outside. It's also very secure, as access is only possible with a fob or by ringing a bell.

Such a beautiful house, really big rooms, super clean, comfortable bed, great breakfast… just loved it!

Stayed in April 2023

It would be nice to have a kettle or coffee machine in rooms.

Casa Alquimia was the perfect choice for me. It is a stunningly beautiful boutique hotel in a renovated historical building. The location is excellent as close to La Ronda, the old town, with most highlights of old town within walking distance. The staff is welcoming, courteous and helpful, thanks to Silvana for her wonderful recommendations and assistance. Also Oswaldo, Stephanie and others for excellent breakfast. The breakfast is served on rooftop with great views. They also arranged rides to and from airport with drivers who act as guides to the country. All and all, I highly recommend this great hotel with nice and spacious rooms. I had one with balcony looking onto the Santo Domingo plaza.

Sylvana and her sons are gracious hosts. This is our second stay. A charming facility with a great location. The absolute most comfortable bed that I have ever slept in. Breakfast is excellent, hosts could not be more accommodating. We had a 4:00am airport taxi And Sylvana’s son woke up to take out our bags. Very sleepily however. New street side windows all but eliminated street noise. One of my favorite spots. Old world charm. We will be back. Thanks for another great stay.

It seemed like a very safe area to us, but we were warned to be careful.

We loved this family run hotel right in colonial center of town. Silvana is a wonderful host and she has done a tremendous job renovating this really old building- it is charming and cozy. The breakfast was delicious and she went out of her way to make something special for me as I am vegan. Their homemade tea was so good!!! She gave us great recommendations for dining and tourist attractions. The other personnel in the hotel were very attentive and helpful. Beautiful rooms, beautiful common area, great views from breakfast area. Highly recommend!!
