    Wonderful private room and bathroom. Very clean. Very comfortable bed and host. Excellent location just a few bocks from Foch Plaza. Police station across the street for the 14 story condo complex. Location on the 14th floor. Great views of the city.

    Cannot complain about a thing. Everything was absolutely fantastic!

    This property was a stunning location to have as a base for my partner and I to explore Quito! It is so central and only a short fifteen minute drive to the main historic centre. There are plenty of excellent restaurants within a two minute walk that will cater to anyone’s food interests. The property itself was luxury to say the least and it felt as though we were staying in a presidential suite! The owners are a lovely couple and were so hospitable to us, welcoming us into the home with open arms as soon as we arrived. They did not hesitate to help us with our queries on what to do and gave us excellent recommendations that turned out to be immensely beneficial to the activities we took part in. Our bedroom was comfortable and they always gave us our own space wherever we were in the house. The views of the surrounding mountains and city were breathtaking also and it was delightful to sit and look out while we planned what we were going to do each day. 10/10 would recommend this stay to anyone. If I ever return I will refuse to stay anywhere else other than the Penthouse Lodge B & B!

    The appartment was all about "a room with a view" . The view over Quito centre was incredible. The breakfast was continetial, modest. the owners didn`t know much English and we had a little challange with comunication. Despite that - we had a great time there.

    No major comments as I think our stay was great but I would have loved some more variety on the breakfast and over the weekend the street can be a little loud. Nothing that would impact the experience.

    The apartment is just beautiful and the rooms were very comfortable. Alberto and Helena were super helpful and able to provide great advices on what to do in the city. The location is great and really easy to be picked up by the tour guides and the neighborhood has many good restaurants around.

    This B&B was in a perfect location for finding restaurants and other amenities. The view was amazing; you look out over the hillsides of the city and can see the Cotopaxi volcano on a clear day and the TelerefiQ cable car. The bedrooms were spacious. Breakfasts were perfect with fresh fruit and rolls. Elena and Alberto were so friendly and helped us with dinner recommendations and suggestions for museums to visit. They really helped make our visit to Quito so much more meaningful. Alberto even helped me with my efforts to learn Spanish. So very happy we stayed here!

    The city view from Penthouse Lodge BB is absolutely spectacular! Alberto and Elena are excellent hosts. They ensured we had the best experience since this was our first visit to Quito. We look forward to returning in a few days, after our visit to Galapagos.
