    The location is difficult when you are not used to the altitude or hills - 10 minutes hard slog to the centre. Nothing apart from small shops in the immediate vacinity. The kitchen could do with a microwave and some matches. The TV might be more modern. The shower took a little getting used to! But for the price, I couldn't complain because everything else was great!

    The room was excellent, very comfortable for the price. Marco was a great host, very friendly and often invited me to join him and his friends to play sports or party. A good birder too! Breakfast was included and was simple but nutritious - fruit (sometimes with local fruit). omlette, and toast with white cheese and avocado. Lovely coffee with added special ingredient! Wif fi was good usually.

    Everything was perfect. The room and bathroom are very nice and spatious enough, the living room is big and comfortable and the kitchen fully equipped. The view from everywhere is awesome. The owner is super nice, makes tasty breakfast and will invite you to a spontaneous weekend football session if you like.

    Only thing that wasn't perfect was, that you had no possibility to hang towels up but thats citizism on a high level.

    Marco was really friendly and gave us many really useful tips. The Guest House is two streets away from a supermarked and really central overall. The room was clean and the shower was hot. We were pleased to stay here.

    It was on a hill, so going out and coming back was a trek for me but I aint fit, I think it will be fine for most. Tv was small and outdated and no cable only dvds. This aint a problem for most as you are there to explore the city and country but I do like to check out different channels to see what the local people are watching. Silly I know but thats how I travel.

    I chose this place as it was between La Mariscal and Historic Center. Walking distance during the day and a $2 taxi ride back at night. The place itself seemed safe as I was walking around at night. Marco was helpful and a chill dude. He provided me with all info I needed. Breakfast was also great and Marco did accommodate for me when I have an early start in the day. Kitchen is fully equipped. Rooms are decent and spacious.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. Its almost like a Homestay where you and other guests share one floor of the building. Marco is a nice host. Gives good advice about the area. Really comfy bed. Shared kitchen with other guests and a little shop downstairs where you can buy things to cook for dinner. Hot shower. Can walk to old town. Good breakfast as well - fruit, omelette and pastry with coffee.

    We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely hostal. Everything was great and the host was super nice. The breakfast was complete, healthy and delicious. We had a shared kitchen and living room and we used the kitchen a lot. I love old and antique items and there were so many of them there which made me super happy to look at them. thanks a lot for everything.

    Poor lightning in the room It was always tricky to open the water in shower, to not freeze or got burn. But after a minute it works somehow

    Marco is the best host in Quito, very friendly and helpful, very good breakfast. Room was clean, bed very comfortable. There is a big common living room on the floor and kitchen you can use. Close to historical center and amazing Itichimbia park. Totally recommended.

    The truck selling gas bottles passing by several times every morning between 5:30 and 6:30 with loud music... Unfortunately nothing the host can do about it!

    Large appartment, with good size bedrooms. Large living room. Large, well equiped kitchen. Good views from the apartment. Good breakfast included. Hot water with good pressure. Good wifi. Accomodating/helpful host. Good location next to several parks and not too far from the old town.

    One of the lights in the kitchen didn't work so it was a little dark in there in the evenings when cooking dinner. The tap in the sink in our bathroom leaked a little. And I felt the bedroom was missing a bedside lamp.

    Very homely apartment with four guestrooms and a good-sized shared kitchen and large lounge. The decor is very dated but that adds to the charm. Marco was useful in providing tips on travel plans and things to do in Quito. The breakfast was tasty and filling – fruit salad, eggs cooked to your liking, bread/pastry, and tea/coffee. There's not a laundry service at the guesthouse, but there's a good and affordable laundrette just around the corner. Although a bit of a walk from the historic centre, it's well-located for connections with buses, making it cheap and easy to get to.

    The place was simply awesome. The owner Marco is available in the morning to answer questions and provide a great breakfast. The bedroom is spacious and clean, and the common area has a kitchen, a living room and all of the equipment to be confortable. The location is both isolated and close to amenities, restaurants and the city center. Awesome place!

    The electricity wires that sometimes obscured the view

    Marco the host is extremely kind, he collected me from the airport and changed the times of breakfast nearly daily to suit me. He was always available to help with all my questions. The room was a good size and clean and comfortable. I had the use of a balcony in the lounge and the views are amazing. Having the kitchen was great too it meant I didn’t have to eat out every night. There’s a great little shop downstairs as well.The Wi-Fi was excellent.

    Just to write something, in my personal opinion there was missing a small light to read in bed in the room

    It was a very familiar feeling there. Our stay was very comfortable. Marco picked us up at the airport in the middle of the night. He is very friendly and has good advices. The place has a balcony with a great view. You have also a kitchen to cook or restaurants nearby. The historical center and many bus stations are also nearby. I can highly recommend the place if you stay in Quito.

    The location. Its situated on a steeper part of town. Have to cross some streets which can be dicey with cars frequently driving in the area. Also there are two yellow doors. The one you want is on the left of the market.

    The bed was soft and private bathroom. The breakfast was good, but had to be there at 8am sharp.

    Nothing - it's amazing!

    Amazing place - interior straight out of the 1990s but that's the whole charm. Massive common area with sofas, dining table and balcony with great views across city - great kitchen too. Room was large with comfy bed and quiet area at night. Marco the owner was really helpful, offered great breakfasts and was very nice to chat to - it's a wonderful place and one of our favourites in Ecuador. Super good value too!
