Hotel La Basílica Quito

Very nice and well-kept room with adjacent covered courtyard for meals, drinks and hanging out. All immaculate with very kind and attentive staff. We hope to return!

Very kind staff! Beautiful property - gardens were beautiful! Roof top was wonderful! Wine room allowed us to get a bottle of wine and enjoy on the roof. In historical Quito - close to many great places and restaurants. Good breakfast

Enjoyed a lot my stay at Hotel Basilica. All the staff were very welcoming and you are feeling you have arrived to your second home in Quito. Very beautiful inner court and a rooftop to have a perfect 360 degree view on Quito. There is travel agency and a little shop inside the hotel - you can find everything you need to enjoy Quito. My room was very beautiful and comfortable.

This is a very different style hotel if you are used to staying in the big chains. We had a family room booked for my family of 3. My son slept in the loft and loved it. The hotel appears to have been completely restored. Lots of old wooden features and art work. There is a wine cellar where you can purchase a bottle of wine and there is a spiral stair case that takes you to the roof and gives you a GREAT view of the historical area of Quito. We encountered rain every night so we did not get the chance to go to the roof and enjoy a drink. Hotel does provide loaner umbrellas cause when it rains in Quito, it RAINS. This is an old hotel, so the floors do squeak in spots but you get used to it. Staff was amazing, they helped us book a tour and transportation. They also made us breakfast every morning with fresh fruit and eggs. Location is great. You are like 5 blocks to the basilica church in one direction, 4 blocks to a "mall" that has great food options. And 2 blocks to Teatro Sucre which is where a bunch of tour groups pick up.

Beautifully decorated rooms and lobby area, wine cellar where you can purchase a decent bottle of wine for $25. Breakfast included and delicious with great coffee. Easy walk to see the Bacilica .

Great location. Safe courtyard to spend evenings and for breakfast. Central in the old town and safe area in the day. Big rooms. Lovely breakfast. Reliable airport pick up even though our flight was 2 hours late at 2am.

A beautifully restored colonial era home located in the heart of the historic district. Incredibly clean and comfortable. Amazing breakfast. Family room very comfortable for parents and two adult children. Highly recommend this hotel.

Delightful hotel. The building is 250 years old and is on the UNESCO historical register. The hotel has been modernized, of course. The owner and the staff were helpful and attentive at all times. We arrived late at night ( am) and left six days later at 5 am, yet they were available for us. Breakfasts were very good (typically coffee/tea, juice, fruit, eggs, pan). The ambiance at the hotel was superb with beautiful rooms and a courtyard. The hotel roof had a great view of Quito. If, and when, we come back to Quito. We will definitely stay there again. Terrific hotel!

This hotel is well located and is within walking distance of many sites. Great restaurants are also within walking distance. The interior patio is gorgeous and the entire grounds are very well maintained . The breakfast is fantastic and I was impressed by the attention to detail from the staff. Also, I felt very safe as the staff has to open the door to let people in and out. It was rainy the day I stayed and they even have umbrellas available for use. This was a great stay!

Convenient location and a homely atmosphere. The main door is locked so guests need to ask to be let out and buzz to be let in.

This is a fantastic hotel! The property is a converted Spanish colonial house and is centrally located on the oldest part of Quito on a main thoroughfare. The hotel is clean, safe a staffed by wonderful, kind and friendly people.

There were no issues with our room - clean, everything worked, quiet, comfortable. The hotel is situated in a great location walking distance to many tourist attractions. It is a very unique and beautiful building where no two rooms look the same - you can tell a lot of effort, thought, and care went into its design and upkeep. Mirian is an excellent host, manager, and owner. She truly cares about the guests and goes above and beyond to make sure you have an excellent stay.

I can’t add to the praise in other reviews. Excellence in every category. Brilliant location, delicious breakfasts (just like mom never made) … kidding mom … excellent bread/croissants/buns, fresh juice and awesome coffee … cleaner than a hospital … very comfortable beds and pillows. Daily housekeeping is over the top. (OCD Warp 10) Laundry is conveniently done on site for a very reasonable charge. (Fifteen item minimum.) It definitely feels like home. Miryam and Karla are sisters to me. They will treat you MUCH better than family. Mange Takk!

We stayed at Hotel La Basilica for two nights. We arranged for a pickup from the Airport in Quito with them and the driver was waiting for us on arrival. The hotel is spotless and the owner was very nice and helpful. It is conveniently located to all the activities and attractions in downtown Quito.

An immaculately maintained historical building with a wonderful staff. Our room was clean and beautiful as was the property as a whole. A great location on Avenida Venezuela between Plaza Grande and Basilica del Voto Nacional. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Great staff, clean, peaceful!

This is a beautiful hotel that is spotless. The environment is amazing, but the people who attend to you are even more so. From the moment I was picked up from the airport until I was driven back, I experienced the greatest of hospitality and care. Everyone is so informed about the city and country which assisted greatly in planning excursions. I loved this experience and all the people that cared for me and made me feel at home.

If I could leave negative stars I would. This hotel is horrible . I saw 2 roaches and something kept biting me in the bed. There were no windows in my room and due to the blackouts no fan and no air conditioning. The room was so hot I could barely breathe. When I told staff about the problems they just denied it all instead of trying to help. I showed them pictures of the roach and they said “ it’s not that room “ it definitely was. I left after one night and they refused to refund the nights I didn’t stay. They will not answer any of messages. I have never had such a horrible experience at a hotel. Please stay away !!!

This was an amazing place to stay!! The history of the building was worth the stay itself, but it was clean and quiet. The managers made us feel like family!

Beautiful hotel set in an old style colonial property. Close to historic centre. We had a lovely stay and were looked after well by the staff however the experience of others in our group was not positive (cockroach in room and issue required a battle to resolve). Breakfast options were limited. Bathrooms in some rooms had a foul smell as poor ventilation.

There were no issues with our room - clean, everything worked, quiet, comfortable. The hotel is situated in a great location walking distance to many tourist attractions.

Nice small hotel near to the centre of town. The airport collection and return was very efficient and well managed. The rooms are clean and spacious. The owner is nice and friendly and can offer suggestions for things to do.

Mirian runs a very tight ship and insists on showing guests around the old house. Beautifully kept, the hotel is an old house with two inner courtyards. They are covered by glass roofs which protect one from the weather but after a sunny day, leave the rooms rather stuffy at night as there is no cross ventilation. But there is a fan in the room. Laundry is available and hotel is adamant you don’t use the sinks for washing your own smalls. Breakfast provided was modest but v nice. Very clean.

The hotel is located in the historic center so walkable to all the sites. It's a lovely hotel and the rooms are large. The service is exceptional! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again.

This is an incredibly charming hotel. Each room is creatively and uniquely decorated. The staff treated us like family, calling us by our first names each time they saw us. Breakfast is wonderful, as is the customer service. There was not a single thing that wasn't first rate. I highly recommend the Hotel La Basílica, and if we ever return to Quito, this will be where we stay. Special shout-out to Media, Josalie and Byron.

My 5 stars are sincere. If I'm lucky enough to be able to return to Quito I would stay here again without hesitation. The location is excellent, directly between Plaza Grande and La Basilica, the colonial building is very nicely restored, the room was comfortable, and the staff was extremely kind and attentive. As an independent hotel, it was abundantly clear that they were doing all they could to give guests the best possible experience. Hands-down the best stay we had on our 2 week trip in Colombia and Ecuador.

If I could leave negative stars I would. This hotel is horrible . I saw 2 roaches and something kept biting me in the bed.

The was clean and in a good area. The owner of the hotel has a very bad attitude. The hotel locks the doors at 9pm because the owner wants to sleep. She said that she will not open the doors after 9 pm. So you mist rush to dinner and hurry back to the hotel. She put us out of the and would not allow us to stay in the lobby because we had to leave for the airport at 12 am to catch a 3 am flight.. All customers should know that this hotel closes at 9 pm. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Nice small hotel near to the centre of town. The airport collection and return was very efficient and well managed. The rooms are clean and spacious. The owner is nice and friendly and can offer suggestions for things to do.

Very attentive & friendly staff. Clean, well-appointed rooms. Delicious breakfast. They arranged our transfer to/from the airport and dinner reservations for us at an excellent local restaurant. Good location in the historic district for walking to see the sites. We really enjoyed our stay and Ricardo was an excellent host.

Lovely hotel in old Quito. They served a delicious breakfast each day and the staff were very helpful booking day trips and helping us with some other transport we needed. Highly recommend.

Beautiful, historic place. Convenient location, super clean. Great service with airport transfers. However they put considerable pressure on us to write a review immediately.

Great location. Safe courtyard to spend evenings and for breakfast. Central in the old town and safe area in the day. Big rooms. Lovely breakfast. Reliable airport pick up even though our flight was 2 hours late at 2am.

This hotel is a protected heritage site perfectly located in the Centro Historico, walking distance to all of the key sights. We stayed here twice (either side of a trip to the Galapagos) and were given a warm welcome by Miryan & Oswaldo and all of their team at La Basilica. The rooms are beautiful and clean and the breakfast was one of the best of our entire 6 week trip in South America! Everyone was really helpful at providing advice about the local area, where to book day trips too and assisting with transfers too and from the airport (it takes a lot longer to get around Quito than we imagined and having a $30 transfer booked to the airport for the 1-1.5hr trip depending on traffic was one less thing to worry about). Special thanks to Jimmy also for helping us practice our Spanish on the journey to Otovalo and back!

This is a very beautiful boutique local hotel. The rooms and hotel are accurately reflected in the photographs. The hotel reception and staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. The hotel host personally walked us to a great restaurant, Runa, around the corner since we arrived late and were too tired to navigate ourselves to dinner. Little touches like fresh roses in the room, rose petals on the bed were lovely. The room's furnishings and artwork are charming and embody a historic clonial charm reflective of the nearby basilica, cathedrals, and main square. Location is excellent for walking to the main plaza, the cathedral, presidential palance, nice restaurants, pharmacies, convenience stores, bank/ATM, etc. while feeling like you could observe local daily life of the people. One very nice amenity is that Byron of the hotel reached out in advance to help schedule our airport transfer to and from the hotel and helped accommodate last minute changes to our schedule. Much more convenient and comfortable that using a rideshare app. The driver was prompt, friendly, and made sure we had everything and were on time for our flight. Exceptional service. The only drawback (not the fault of our hotel) was the regional rolling power outages. I recommend bringing a flashlight if you travel during times of outages. We had power for 3-4 hours in the morning and 3-4 hours in the late evening. We were gone on excursions for most of the day time. But there was hot water for showers.

Amazing stay. Their personnel is tops and their location is the best. I wouldn’t hesitate to return to this hidden jewel.

A hidden gem in the very heart of the historic district. An old Spanish colonial house with an open courtyard. Walk 5min to the Basilica and the Plaza Grande. Lots of good restaurants around too. Full of green plants lovingly cared for (even polishing the leaves) by the staff. Mariam and her staff were super friendly and looked after me really well. It was truly a pleasure to stay there and I look forward to another visit.

A beautiful historic hotel, with courtyard where they served a lovely full breakfast, including eggs to order. The location was perfect very close to the historic center. I would advise not staying many blocks more away from the historic center as the neighbourhood changes, but we felt very safe in the day time (with reasonable precautions not flashing wealth). The hotel arranged a reliable car service although the driver changed the price at drop off wanting an extra 10$ - they were there when we arrived & brought us without incident. The workers tried to be friendly & helpful. We were woken up by gunshots in the night in the distance many times, but that would be for any hotels in the area.

Great location, character and staff

Clean room. Incredible staff. Great breakfast. In the centre of ‘old’ Quito and minutes away from Plaza Grande which is rich in history and people.

Very accommodating staff/owners at amazing historic hotel. however, you can’t walk around the neighborhood at all due to apparent pickpockets. We felt kind of trapped. Didn’t get vip upgrades

An immaculately maintained historical building with a wonderful staff. Our room was clean and beautiful as was the property as a whole. A great location on Avenida Venezuela between Plaza Grande and Basilica del Voto Nacional. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

The location is excellent, and the hotel itself is fantastic—more of an Airbnb-style setup than a traditional stay. It’s within easy walking distance of all the top spots in Old Town, including the Basílica del Voto Nacional, Independence Square, and the Basilica and Convent of San Francisco. I’d definitely stay here again if I ever return.

This hotel is well located and is within walking distance of many sites. Great restaurants are also within walking distance. The interior patio is gorgeous and the entire grounds are very well maintained . The breakfast is fantastic and I was impressed by the attention to detail from the staff. Also, I felt very safe as the staff has to open the door to let people in and out. It was rainy the day I stayed and they even have umbrellas available for use. This was a great stay!

Great Hotel right in the Historic District City Center. We could walk everywhere, very safe. Loved this place. Thank you

Very beautiful hotel in downtown old Quito. We walked around to the churches and palace. We found great restaurants for lunch and dinner. Hotel La Basílica provides an excellent breakfast. The owner greats all guests and helps make any arrangements for transportation and tours. Much better service than we have received at chain hotels. The owner and staff genuinely care about their guests having a great experience.

Lovely property and wonderful hospitality. Couldn’t have asked for more — delicious breakfast, warm and attentive hosts, beautiful accommodations. Highly recommend!

Beautifully decorated rooms and lobby area, wine cellar where you can purchase a decent bottle of wine for $25. Breakfast included and delicious with great coffee. Easy walk to see the Bacilica .

This is a great place to stay in centro historico. The property itself is beautiful and the staff are kind and helpful. The rooms are well maintained. The breakfast selection is limited but delicious. There are a number of nice restaurants and bakeries located within a 5 min walking distance. So, especially at night, when the centro historico area can be a bit deserted, you don’t have to walk far to get a meal.

I very rarely review, but then I rarely receive service this exceptional. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and safe. The breakfast was.Everything was amazing. This turned out to be one of the best days of our trip! It was so conveniently located to absolutely everything, but I think what made it with the people.
