4/5. Everything is clean but the building is old with a bit of noise from the road

Close to the northern part of the city! Very safe location

Could hear music / noise in the room at night from the bars/clubs in the area - but maybe depends on which room you get. Room needs some maintenance (e.g. broken window and secondary door lock). Room was not very clean upon arrival, and there's no daily cleaning

The hotel in general was charming and its facilities simple but nice. There's a garden and outdoor seating areas with humming birds every morning which is very peaceful and contrasts with the hotel's surroundings.There's a nice indoor lounge if you need to work. The breakfast is simple but good and plenty and is prepared fresh by the Staff. Staff was also helpful, arranged driver to airport which was cheaper than Uber/taxi.

All good

Great location. I liked the graden inside the hotel. The breakfast was nice. They gave us an extra blanket for the cold.

Loacation, hot water

Hostal didnt have my booking on arrival which created quite the delay late at night after a full day of travel. I had to ask for basic things like towels, blankets ect.

The staff are very friendly and attentive to the guests needs. This is a very cute hostel and I reccomend for anyone who doesn't mind being out of the main tourist districts.

the room was very damp - like all our stuff ended up damp from just being in the room and towels etc wouldn’t dry no one was ever really at reception, had to be buzzed into the building, it felt slightly unsafe to be standing outside waiting around at night booking said breakfast was included but there was no breakfast

friendly staff

Beds aren't too comfortable

Good location. And suits the price

The original Alcala was bought out by another hostal and they facilities are being merged. It can be a bit noisy with the construction work. I hope when the merger is completed it will be nicer.

It's family run and the family are very nice. It's also in a great location. I've stayed here many times over the years. So it has a somewhat homey feel. I even run into other guests who have stayed there when I did in previous years.

Good and quiet location, few minutes from Plaza (400m), also not faraway of Old Town with Uber (approx. 2 dollars). Good breakfast, you can choose which way you like your eggs, we had nice juice as well. Hot water in the room, nice garden, good wifi. You can use the kitchen if you want, it was nice and clean. Host was supernice, was speaking English. There is a parking lot for free, it is just for one car, so be sure you make a reservation in advance. Shop is located just 5 metres from the entrance to the hotel.

Guests need to buzz the door to enter the property. Unfortunately the speaker for the buzzer was right outside our room so we were woken a few times during the night.

The room was absolutely nothing like the pictures. The pictures show a beautiful and big room. The room we got was alright, if we knew we were getting that we would have been alright. The pictures are not real though The fact that we got a sad looking, worn out room was not nice. All the nice rooms were given to the people that paid more, we think. The TV didn't work, the channels were all blurry and the WiFi in the room was the worst part. We had to go to the co-working space to be able to use the WiFi. We paid very cheap but I would not stay here again. In another area in Quito we paid the same but we got a TV with Netflix and strong excellent WiFi. Booking must remove the credit card payment option. They do not accept credit cards, only cash

Excellent value and location. The bathroom was huge. We paid around 25 dollars a night for a private room, which was an excellent deal. But I think we got the short end of the stick because we paid so cheap.

To start with for the 3 nights stay i was never offered the breskfast. Noone cleaned the room December nights are bit cold and mist, but no chance to get radiator. Some basic things at the room are missing - i.e you have no place to put a towel in bathroom. Lock in my room was always puzzle. The whole place have to be renovated Moreover, weekend nights you are anable to sleep as there are dozens of night clubs next street.

Locación overall Is good. The building itself Is nice with great patio, two kitchens. Garage. You Cook for yourself. Pricing Is fair. Hot water.

Great location, tastefully decorated and restored older mansion, super nice hosts, quiet, wonderful breakfast. Highly recommend this hidden gem close to the nightlife in Mariscal but still serene.

Stayed in August 2021

Everything was enjoyable about my stay, as usual.

I have stayed at Alcala a few times when I have been in Quito and never been disappointed. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are always nice and the bed comfortable. Breakfast is also included. Alcala is a good value in the Mariscal area and public transportation is nearby.

Great location. Close to everything but very quiet! A little further away from the city noise. You get a beautiful garden with hummingbirds instead. Very nice rooms and great breakfast! Staff extremely friendly and helpful. I will come back:)
