The room we stayed in could use a few hooks and places to put luggage.

Marco was a lovely host, who happily chatted with us over breakfast. The B&B is in a safe and quiet neighbourhood close to the metro and historical center. The rooms are simple, but very clean. Excellent value! Would gladly stay here again.

Yellow Balconies is a quiet, comfortable, safe, welcoming space within easy walking distance from the historic center of Quito if you are fine with altitude and steep hills. The breakfast daily was such a treat with music and conversation with Marco. We enjoyed having a spacious shared kitchen and living room in addition to our room. Plus, the views of the Basilica, mountains, city, and volcanoes are great.

Great place. Quiet area. Good Wifi. It was a room in a three bedroomed apartment, so I had a shared kitchen and large living room as well as my room. It’s not in the touristy area. But that is only a 15-minute walk away. Good security – I had to go through three locked doors to get into my room. Marco spoke excellent English and made me breakfast every morning.

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.

Windows single paned facing a busy road. Beautiful view obscured by 50 or more cables crossing it to the pole. Located on a VERY steep hill.

Great location near the historic centre and transit connections.
