Even this time, I stayed at "La Basilica" and I was not disappointed: simply the best place to stay, in Quito

Stayed in August 2025

Nothing not to like - the lack of a restaurant is not a problem as there are so many around the Grand Plaza, which is only a couple of hundred well-lit metres away.

Spotlessly clean, quiet, and safe with a very kind and helpful hostess. I felt very well looked after. Location excellent for seeing old Quito.

Colonial house are special as all rooms look over an inside patio. That means all windows are over the inside patio that may be a bit noisy with inside conversations or arrivals; so if you wish to take a nap during the day, it might be a bit noisy.

Location very close to main Plaza and churches. Nice breakfast with special cake.for my daughter birthday. good communication to get taxis and transportation. Access to tea during the day. Good care of us by owner who told us how to be very careful of potential tourist theft. I found the area rather safe actually . Decoration around the patio. You feel like you are in the house of a family . All the rooms are decorated according a church of the city.

The hotel itself is great! Loved it. However we quickly learned that it’s not in the best neighborhood in historic district in Quito. Not recommended to walk around after dark

Beautiful place. Super clean! The hosts at the hotel was AMAZING! She was sooo very nice. Gave us nice places to eat.

Lots of signs with rules which is a bit off putting. It would be nice to have mugs at the coffee station rather than paper cups

Wonderful historic building in great location. Jocelyn was enormously helpful and friendly.

It was perfect. I mean spotless and perfect.

An absolutely wonderful boutique historic charming hotel in the perfect location in the heart of Quito heritage old town. Spotlessly clean, artistic historic decor, very comfortable beds spacious quiet room. Great coffee, nice breakfast of fresh fruit, breads and eggs cooked to order. The lady host and her husband and the staff were warm and friendly and very helpful and attentive and welcoming. The hotel has a beautiful courtyard for breakfast and a charming sitting area, gift shop of indigenous crafts and a wine room where you can purchase a bottle of wine and sitting area. Great location for exploring Quito. I highly recommend this hotel.

We liked historical age of the property, the central location in the historic Old Town. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Entrance could be better lighted and signed at night. I walked past it on the weary first night though it's so obvious to spot in the daytime with its bright yellow historic facade.

Unique family-run historic hotel, charming design with traditional interior details and art that immerse you in the elegance of Old Town Quito. Convenient location, close to Plaza Grande, churches, chocolate stores, restaurants. Secure entrance and safe walking area during the day and evening with common sense precautions. Owners/staff were extraordinarily welcoming, warm, and helpful. Good breakfast (loved the strong coffee!), immaculate and classy room, beautiful art and murals in common areas. The owners made me feel so welcome like family. I highly recommend Hotel Basilica for an authentic Old Town Quito experience!

I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone

Hotel la Basilica was exceptional. The staff were incredibly helpful, welcoming, and took such good care of me. Breakfast (which was included) was delicious, the room was spacious and lovely, and the hotel is in a perfect location to see all of the best parts of Quito. I could not recommend it more! Bonus was getting a lovely souvenir from our host!

Everything was fine, it's a fantastic place

Hotel Basilica is a well run, spotlessly clean boutique hotel in the heart of Old Town Quito. Perfectly placed half way between the gorgeous basilica on the hill (short walk uphill), and the Presidential square area (short walk downhill). It is near restaurants, shopping, historic sites, many gorgeous churches, bakeries, chocolate shops and coffee shops. The location cannot be beat in my opinion. They arranged a punctual pick up at the airport for us. We got in late when restaurants were closed, so the driver kindly suggested we purchased food at the airport and offered to let us eat in the car. The rooms are lovely and spacious. Water pressure was great in the shower, toiletries and hair dryers in the rooms, and a safe large enough to fit what we wanted locked. There is a hot breakfast every morning served in the inner courtyard. They start with a fresh fruit bowl and fantastic coffee. The menu rotated, but included some type of eggs, breads or pastries, ham, cheese, etc. A perfect relaxed breakfast before heading out. The security is good. You are buzzed in and out of the hotel. This is a standard practice with many places in Quito, even coffee shops. The staff was fantastic. Very polite, the server at breakfast spoke multiple languages including perfect English. The owner used a translation app for anything she struggled to tell us. She was full of knowledge of the area, suggesting times to visit various places to avoid crowds, or to get the best lighting in the Basílica windows (early morning). There were restaurants within a block of the hotel we really enjoyed that were recommended by the owner. In summary, the hotel rooms and amenities were lovely, the staff excellent, and the location perfect.

This is a great spot to stay in Quito . Being in the old city you can walk to the main attractions , I found out hosts to be most welcoming and happy to help with anything . We had our laundry done for a small fee and stored our luggage whilst we went in another trip . The room is very quiet and well appointed . I would highly recommend this hotel .
