Casa Gangotena Boutique Hotel

Nice hotel. Big rooms decorated beautifully. Excellent location on main square in Quito. Love to watch constant activity from the balcony. Also very good service.would highly recommend this hotel. Also the food in restaurant is very good.

We stayed for 6 days in this wonderful hotel. The location is excellent in the old centre with everything in walking distance. The room had a view on Plaza San Francisco and was spacious, luxury and very complete. The breakfast is the best buffet ever and the staff is fantastic, especially Freddie, Bladimir, Rene and Angelo. Thanks for a fantastic stay. We will be back.

Lived up to expectations, and more! The warm reception and welcome drink was a great start after a long travelling day and drive from the airport (45 mins on a public holiday evening). We booked a junior suite with balcony, although the weather was such that we didn’t use the balcony in our two night stay, it gave a good size room and amenities and great view through the trees. We took advantage of the pleasant evening on arrival to enjoy the rooftop terrace with fantastic all around views from its prime location in the Old Town. The Tapis was perfect for us and service friendly including agreeing to open a bottle of bubbly for us to use over the two nights. Food was very good throughout, breakfast, dinner and the occassional snacks. Similarly, the staff, without exception, were friendly and efficient. No hesitation in recommending.

This is clearly the most luxurious hotel in Quito & every part of it -- from the staff, to the decor, to the food, to the location -- is top notch! I could not have picked a better place to stay to start off my trip in Ecuador. I stayed in a beautiful room overlooking the square and the windows in the main room must be double-pane because I took a nap and closed the door to the bathroom (which I believe has only single-pane windows) and slept like a baby. The room is gorgeous and the beds/pillows extremely comfortable. The hotel is an old historic mansion and it definitely feels like it. I enjoyed a cocktail and tapas at happy hour on the rooftop and although pricey, it was some of my favorite food from my entire 2 week trip in Ecuador. The complimentary breakfast is a nice touch (basic items but they were good). Everyone that works there is extremely helpful, pleasant, and always smiling. I'd definitely recommend this place and compare it to a "Four Seasons" type brand & experience -- yes, it's expensive, but less expensive than staying at a Four Seasons or similar.

Casa Gangotena proved to be the perfect home base for exploring Quito. Its location in the heart of the historic district is unbeatable, and the friendly staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The elegant ambiance, combined with excellent cuisine and impeccable service, truly elevated our stay.
