Great Location and Spotty Service

The location of this hotel was perfect for me and the price was right. However, the room was in poor condition (some of the electric outlets didn't work, shower leaked, blinds falling apart) and the service was spotty. I felt mistreated as a woman and as someone who is not yet fluent in Spanish. The hotel staff attended to men (at breakfast and front desk) first and I was even completely ignored at the front desk when a man approached after my conversation had already begun. I'm not sure if the hotel staff just needs more training or if this is Ecuadorean culture. I've traveled a lot around the world, and this one of the most blatant experiences of sexism I've ever experienced in a hotel.

Estadia en Hotel San Sebastian

Tuve una grata experiencia en el Hotel San Sebastian de Quito, supieron estar pendientes de mi llegada llamándome y confirmando mi cita. Adicional cuando llegue fueron muy amables en recibirme y brindarme indicaciones de como dirigirme a ciertos lugares de Quito. El hotel estaba como a dos cuadras de la Plaza Foch (zona roja de Quito) lo cual fue super bueno porque es un lugar super transitado y donde los restaurantes están abiertos hasta bien tarde, lo cual nos sirvió luego de salir tarde del concierto. El hotel es super limpio, la habitación super cómoda, tienen todo equipado, cuenta con wifi, cable, calefacción y el desayuno es impresionante. Si algún día viajan a quito se los recomiendo a ojos cerrados. I had a pleasant experience at the Hotel San Sebastian in Quito, they knew how to be aware of my arrival by calling me and confirming my appointment. When they arrived, they were very kind to receive me and give me directions on how to go to certain places in Quito. The hotel was about two blocks from the Plaza Foch (red zone of Quito) which was very good because it is a super busy place and where the restaurants are open until very late, which served us after leaving the concert late. The hotel is super clean, the room super comfortable, they have everything equipped, it has wifi, cable, heating and the breakfast is impressive. If someday they travel to Quito, I recommend them with closed eyes.

Great Service, good location

We arranged an airport pickup through the hotel. Our driver was wonderful and very helpful. The hotel staff were all great. Breakfast was good. We loved the location on the edge of the new town action. Very safe neighborhood. Close to banks, convenience stores, great restaurants. Overall a good value.

Older but great value and service.

This is an older motel, about 30 years but very nice and clean with great help and service. Bars and restaurants are close. Lots of little local shops for the tourist Restaurant in the motel was convenient and sufficient . They are in the process of renovating afew floors. Marcelo, at the front desk, was probably the most cordial and helpful people I have ever met. When I return to Quito I will stay here.

Very good hotel, located in a perfect position

I love this hotel. It's fantastic in so many ways. The ONLY downside is that there are no woollen or cotton blankets. I have difficulty sleeping in any artificial bedding and the bedding was pure acrylic. But, lovely staff, great location and it just has such a nice 'vibe'.

Wouldn't eat in the hotel restaurant

We were in transit from Quito to Galapagos islands, and we don't speak Spanish. There is a very friendly staff that speaks sufficient English who also serves as tourist guide for fees, and you need to book days/weeks ahead (we did not get him). The hotel restaurant is great for breakfast, but a waiter/receptionist for dinner understands nothing in English. The worst is that he just sat in front and did not try attending to us or other guests. Even for water/drinks, it took him a long time just to come around. The restaurant was not busy at all for dinner time. I don't understand what he was there for. The food was so so as well. So will definitely not recommend here for dinner.

Two short stays

We had 2 separate stays, one a transit, and the other we had a day in Quito. For the transit stay, the service was outstanding, staff got up early to provide breakfast before we went to the airport. But it was a long trip back & forth to the airport just to sleep for a few hours. Staff was amazing - very attentive and helpful, it was great for our day in Quito. So I give the hotel high marks, but if you're just making a transit stop, you should look closer to the airport.

Pleasant stay, nice environment

Lodging with style, nice and ample lobby well furnished with the reception staff always attentive and cordial. The elevator could be improved and the rooms culd take an overhaul, although nothing major. The hotel is located in a safe and good area of Quito near lots of restaurants and discos, but it is not the most central or convenient location for transportation.

Two short stays

We had one very short stay between flights, and a second that gave us one day in Quito. ONE WARNING: If you have a short transit stay (as we did on our first one), it is 30-45 minutes each way for the round trip from airport <> hotel, and you will probably be better off staying close to the airport. But for a stay in the city, it was great. We were very impressed with the attentiveness and helpfulness of all the staff. We got up around 4 AM on 2 of our 3 mornings, and there was breakfast available for us. The bellhops were very helpful with suggestions for things to do in Quito, and arranging transportation. The room was comfortable, and the food was quite good. We were very happy with our stays.

So many pleasant surprises here!

Beautiful hotel with old architecture and good charm. Our junior suite faced the mountains and city of Quito and two entire walls were windows. The room was clean and had a wrap around balcony. The bed was hard as a rock, but the pillows were amazing. The hotel staff was incredibly helpful, from a bellman bringing in our bags from the taxi, to the front desk people speaking English, to letting us check in early and storing our bags for a full day after we checked out. They even provide maps and called a taxi for us. But the highlight was that we told them it was our honeymoon and they brought us fresh fruit and chocolate to dip! Lastly, do NOT miss the hotel's restaurant. Was pretty fancy but incredibly worth it. Less than $15/plate for dinner. Our breakfast was included, and had omelets made to order and a good variety of other options. Would definitely stay here again!
