"Hotel Casa Ecuatreasures was a wondeful place to stay for our visit to Quito. It is located in a great spot to explore the old town on foot, with easy access to the basilica as well as the various plazas and many places to eat and shop. However, the true highlight is definitely the manager Hernan! He is a warm and lovely host that is full of knowledge and is eager to help you enjoy Quito. The breakfasts were also very nice, local cuisine with fresh fruit juices. Highly recommend!"

"This is a beautiful hotel that is spotless. The environment is amazing, but the people who attend to you are even more so. From the moment I was picked up from the airport until I was driven back, I experienced the greatest of hospitality and care. Everyone is so informed about the city and country which assisted greatly in planning excursions. I loved this experience and all the people that cared for me and made me feel at home. "
