Casa Hotel Las Plazas

The hotel is strategically located, close to most of the Centro Histórico highlights. The stay was an excellent experience. The staff was always available and aware of your needs and safety, they show real interest in you having a great time. Breakfast was delicios and fresh, Lucia explained part of Ecuador's culture and I felt part of a tour there. I would definitely stay again.

We stayed at this hotel for a few nights in Quito. The location was fantastic, the hotel is in the historic area and is just a few short blocks from the plaza grande. The staff was friendly, especially Lucia at the front desk who gave us lots of information and recommendations. The breakfasts in the morning felt very authentic and the staff took time to explain the different Ecuadorian foods. The room itself was very cute and the hotel felt very secure. Would definitely recommend!

Casa Hotel Las Plazas is a charming, fairly immaculate, small hotel near the historic district in Quito. The location is superb! It has only about a dozen or so guest rooms, rambling between two covered plazas. It used to be the residence of a prominent Ecuadoran politician. The rooms are very well-kept and appointed with most things you would want. There is plenty of hot water, comfortable beds, and lovely tiling. The plumbing is old, so you can't put toilet paper in the toilets (as elsewhere in Latin America). The staff are gracious, accommodating, and professional. One spoke excellent conversational English and was easy to communicate with via WhatsApp and email. The rest of the staff had limited English, so a little Spanish is helpful, although not essential. The free breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The lovely hostess educated us about Ecuadoran cuisine as we were treated to various unfamiliar fruits and juices. There is some petty crime in downtown Quito, and the hotel keeps the door to the street closed and locked most of the time. That means you're stuff is super safe, but it also means you have to buzz them in order to get in when you return to the hotel. It was never a problem for us, but if you arrive unannounced, don't be surprised by the big locked door on the street. We stayed just one night and explored Quito during the day. We had a great time and encountered only mild nuisances in this lively, historic, and friendly city!

I have never experienced a better service than the service I experienced at Casa Hotel Las Plazas in Quito. Extremely good service and excellent staff, always very service minded. Very good location as well in the heart of the Old Town of Quito. The breakfast was really excellent, a pleasure to eat breakfast there. I can really recommend Casa Hotel Las Plazas!!

Their hospitality is top notch!! We arrived in Quito after midnight via a cab they arranged. They greeted us at the door around 1:30am, helped us with our bags and with portable lighting. Ecuador was having rolling power outages. In the morning Lucia greeted us with her warm smile and served us a delicious breakfast explaining the source of the local fruits.

Marvelous hotel in the middle of the historic district, just a block from the main plaza and just a few blocks from the major cathedrals and basilica. The owner, Lucia, was amazingly hospitable, even going over the Ecuadorian fruit (vacaba) served at breakfast. They helped with cabs around town, cabs to and from the hotel (a long drive), and advice about restaurants. They even walked us to one of the restaurants we went to because it was a bit hidden on the square. Can’t say enough about how nice it was to spend time with them and the hotel is charming, clean, comfortable, in an incredibly good location. We’d certainly go back if we were in Quito.
