Beautiful hotel and very nice staff. Always very helpful with holding a bit of extra luggage when we were away to Galapagos and also getting us taxis to and from the airport. Also, they can arrange a day tour around Quito with an English speaking guide. We did 3 outings with Alexander who was really fun and knowledgeable about the area.

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.

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.

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

Great Value, Location, and Fantastic Staff
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!
