Great one night stay at casa alquima. We’re just stopping over before our land tour. We had booked the family room which had 3 beds and was easiest the biggest room in the hacienda. Checkin/checkout was smooth and the breakfast was exceptional. Also walking distance to all the major attractions. Also felt safe due to the fob security. Highly recommended.

Corner room was much nicer with 3 big windows facing the church square. Hot water worked fine this time. Ask for room #4, avoid #5 as hot water wasn't working and it is pretty dark.

Lovely room in a 500 year old hotel. Big rooms, but also couches and armchairs in the shared balconies and courtyards. Very friendly staff Fabulous breakfast Right next to La Ronda - which was disappointing. Allegedly the arts precinct full of music, but instead full of pizza places and karaoke. Spent most of my time in the hotel - lucky it was such a nice place

Unique property with intriguing character. The staff were super helpful, breakfast was fresh, healthy and delicious, the rooms were clean and comfortable. Near to historical sites, easy to walk. WiFi was great, warm water in the shower, unlimited purified drinking water free of charge. Only complaint was the road noise was a bit loud for a light sleeper early in the morning.

This hotel was the best thing about my trip to Quito. Amazing building hundreds of years old. Big rooms plus lots of couches to sit overlooking the lovely courtyard. Lovely breakfast. But the main attraction was the really friendly and welcoming staff. A great find. Thanks!
