Guest Reviews
- Yermek01 (10/5): Friendly and supportive services 24/7. Flexible breakfast. Good location, calm and comfortable. Tidy rooms. - Friendly and supportive services 24/7. Flexible breakfast. Good location, calm and comfortable. Tidy rooms and nice interior.
- Jerkko (8/5): -
- seatrav (6/5): Good location for hotel, small rooms, modern bathroom. - Overall, the staff was friendly. However, the room was quite small, with a nice modern bathroom. The main thing that I did not like is because of the structure of the building, I could hear the night bell ringing when someone wanted to enter during the night. As a result, it was disruptive to sleep because of that Bell. The breakfast was decent, but fairly basic. The biggest advantage of the hotel was its location right near a lot of night activities and restaurants in the area.
- gallego (10/5): Hotel Pet friendly - La amabilidad por parte del personal . Somos colombianas y viaje junto con mi mascota y en todo momento nos atendieron súper bien .
- Mollyindy (10/5): My extra special home in Quito. - This is a boutique hotel. So high on the list is the security, high quality food, walk in showers and added extras.
- Mollyindy (10/5): Home from home but extra special - The price was competitive. I loved my room with the walk in shower. The breakfast was delicious and the location is perfect for travelling around Quito. The hotel is a boutique hotel.
- Dimitri (10/5): -
- ANAND (8/5): Stay only if you know Spanish. Clean hotel. Good location and excellent value for money - Great value for money . Accommodating working staff though they do not know a word of English but eager to please. We got along fine with sign language and Google translator . The staff did their best to help out. Good location No management staff in sight . Only two people who did not know English were working different shifts . Queries in English took forever sometimes in days to respond . No elevator .. thankfully the guy offered to help me with my heavy bags. Needed a room heater was told ind hour free after that chargeable 😳😳
- Abir (10/5): Excellent - Excellent
- Benytourguide (10/5): - La atención. Eduardo y Wilmer los mejores anfitriones La seguridad del área. Muchas personas mencionaron que el sitio no es seguro.
- 356atefg (10/5): Unique and Fantastic - Wonderful, kind and caring staff. Very nice warm breakfast with eggs made to order. Nice Location near a lot of fine restaurants.
Unique boutique hotel that takes you back in time.
We had a fantastic time. We would love to go back.
- Emily (1/5): Finger weg! - Sie wollten uns zwingen, bar zu bezahlen, damit booking nichts davon bekommt. Das haben wir nicht mitgemacht, wir haben mit Karte gezahlt und nun haben sie die Buchung im Nachgang storniert, uns drohen Zusatzgebühren und ein Vermerk bei booking.
- Andrzej Chadzynski (9/5): -
- M_ (10/5): - Very stylish and clean property, well designed and with very Kind and helpful staff.
- Sarah (6/5): Vriendelijk, schoon, mooi, maar slechte locatie - Personeel was heel vriendelijk en de kamer was schoon De locatie, de buurt is uitgestorven en onveilig. Personeel kan daar niks aan doen maar voor toeristen is het geen fijne plek
- bpxi4s8qdn (10/5): Beautiful romantic property near Plaza Foch - This property is very tranquil and romantic. They obviously pay a lot of attention to detail. The staff is very friendly
- Mary (10/5): - The hosts are so sweet. Breakfast is very good they will cook eggs and bacon fresh for you. The rooms are very clean with fresh flowers a lovely touch. There is a small bar where you can have nightcap. The area around has lots of restaurants and bars. The square seems a little sketchy but we had no problems and felt very safe. We would recommend a stay at this hotel.
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional - everything was perfect
- Wendy (10/5): Perfect, good location and super helpful hosts 😊 -
- Donovan (7/5): Two uncomfortable nights on a very HARD mattress. - Friendly and helpful staff. The bed was uncomfortably hard. They need a mattress pad that would make it more comfortable than the rock hard mattress you are given to sleep on. Of course, an elevator would help but I realize that is not possible. Breakfast was lacking as selections were very limited.
- Meghan (10/5): - I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Quito. This is a family run boutique hotel and from the moment you walk in the door, they make you feel like you are family. It is a stunning hotel that is cozy and quiet, even though it is set right in the middle of the city. The owners are extremely friendly and accommodating and they prepare a delicious homemade breakfast every morning! The hotel is set in an area with plenty of local shops, restaurants, and transportation. Our stay was outstanding and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, beautiful accommodation.
- kejsphs (10/5): Week-long stay in Quito - We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was large, clean, and comfortable. The staff was also extremely friendly and very accommodating.
- Valary (10/5): Exceptional - Staff were amazing and helpful. The bed is firm but comfortable. Location is nice and central and near several restaurants.
- legna (10/5): - I stayed one and the place is really beautiful. It’s new , fresh , and clean. The service is amazing . Valeria took time out of her morning to walk with me to some shops so I could buy some items I forgot . Super sweet . Highly recommend this hotel.
- Brian (10/5): - If you want to stay at an amazing boutique hotel, this is it! The staff went above & beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Great restaurants within walking distance.
- Jieying (9/5): Superb - A quaint little hotel managed well Though the restaurants are just round the corner, its on the quiet side with little tourists and many touts... nothing to do with the hotel
- Mark (10/5): Warm welcome - Nice location lovely place and friendly hosts
- ErikM130 (10/5): Old world charm - Casa Joaquin is a throwback to traditional small B&Bs in the best way. The warm family style service from Patricio and Valeria was both professional and attentive - ready to help with tour bookings, restaurant suggestions, or anything else you might need. The lodging is immaculately kept with all the modern conveniences (one of the best hotel showers we’ve had in a while) and at the same time maintains its European charm. Highly recommended!
- ssbiker (10/5): Wonderful hosts - The husband and wife who run this hotel are absolutely wonderful, they took care of all our needs and went above and beyond for us. They even did our laundry! The hotel was so clean and breakfast was delicious!!!!
- Valentine (10/5): Exceptional - We love this small, very tastefully decorated, family hotel. We really are made felt like home here!
The location in Mariscal is really great too.
- nancydN6394AG (10/5): Such a warm and welcoming place to stay, and a great location! - The women at Casa Joaquin could not be friendlier or more helpful! They create a very warm, cozy environment and the rooms are very clean and comfortable.
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- christian (8/5): - Todo excelente, el servicio muy bueno, pero deberían actualizar las habitaciones con Smart Tv actualizados, la tv era muy pequeña y su señal wifi inestable, lo demás, excelente.
- top_rope_media (10/5): Excellent Small World Charm in Quito - What a perfect charming hotel nestled in the big city! The neighborhood of Mariscal in Quito is more residential than the Centro Historico, and worth a stay if only to feel Parisian-like pampering of Hotel Casa Joaquin. Delightful touches in the rooms and common rooms make you feel at home and relaxed. Perfect little spots, even on the rooftop to enjoy a cup of tea and good book. Plus the location is still central enough that it's easy to reach the more touristy sites like the Mercado Artisanal or the Teleferico Quito. Would highly recommend for couples and families! Plus the owners are a family and there to help you with any travel arrangements you may need.
- Jose (8/5): Very good -
- Emilia (10/5): - Es un hotel muy acojedor, se siente relajante Fanny y Valeria son muy cortez y estan lista para ayudarte en todo lo que necesites el Sr Javier el chofer fue super amable y los tours que nos dio nos encanto 😍
- Jose (10/5): - Excellent service, friendly staff. Very clean. Breakfast was really good fresh and tasty.
- Peter (9/5): A great family run hotel with real care shown to us as guests - The staff were fantastic. The level of service provided was of the highest level, they went ‘the second mile’ I understand the location has become less safe than it was and I think that the authorities are doing things to address that.
- Lia (8/5): Very good -
- isaacjD652UO (10/5): Wonderful hotel, staff, and location - We had a wonderful week-long stay at Casa Joaquin. The staff are incredibly friendly, and were attentive to out needs. Breakfast was delicious each morning, with a daily rotation of fruits, juice, yogourt, and other sides to go with the eggs. The decor provides abundant atmosphere and charm, as does the neighbourhood in which the hotel is located. With several cafes and restaurants nearby, it was very pleasant to walk around and explore the surrounding area. Furthermore, it is reasonably close to one of the stations of the recently established subway system, which is very convenient for getting around other parts of the city.
We highly recommend Casa Joaquin, and to the wonderful staff, thank you so much for welcoming us to your beautiful country.
- 861robinm (8/5): Clean & safe! - We had a quick stay here and found it to be very clean, centrally located, excellent staff, very attentive, great breakfast, slept great!
- Anne (10/5): Wonderful Staff! - Fantastic family run hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. We were treated as if we were family for the whole of our visit. We were given lots of information about places to visit in Quito. We had the best breakfasts of our 3 week stay in Ecuador. Lovely accommodation in a perfect location, we would most definitely return if we stayed in Quito again. Thank you fir having us. Everything was perfect.
- osvaldo (10/5): - The hotel was perfect.. staff was amazing and extremely helpful. Breakfast was very nice.. would highly recommend
- bernadettemZ3324LN (10/5): Great hospitality and attention - Francisco and his wife were wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them We used the apartment as our base while we explored Ecuador and left our luggage there Xavier was our driver and was very kind and attentive I would highly recommend
- Weezi2013 (10/5): Great experience - wish we could have stayed longer - We loved our 4-night stay in this hotel in the La Mariscal neighbourhood, only a short taxi ride from the Centro Historico (Old Town). There were some good restaurants within walking distance, including Achiote and La Miskay, both serving traditional Ecuadorian food.
The manager, Francisco, could not have been more helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were excellent and healthy (a buffet of fresh fruit and juices and various other goodies - with French toast or eggs made to order) and the cappuccinos were great.
Our modern room in the French style was spotless and large with a queen bed and a couch and everything worked well. There is a rooftop patio where you can have drinks you buy on the main floor.
The neighbourhood may look a bit sketchy and there is definitely some street life here but we felt perfectly safe walking around and to and from restaurants. There was a significant police presence because of the recent drug-related violence elsewhere in Ecuador, which has led to some negative press internationally, but we had no problems in our 5-town journey, including while driving our rented car.
We took trips to the Otavalo market, up the Teleferico, to the botanical garden in Parque Carolina, and of course to the historic centre.
Many stores were shuttered because of the Carnaval holiday weekend but we got to see lots of families enjoying spraying foam on one another!
Luiza and Mark (stayed February 2024)
- Renee (10/5): - Casa Joaquin is a wonderful boutique hotel. It's so cute and clean. Breakfast was great. Francisco and Olga were fantastic and very helpful with arranging tours and drivers. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Best,
Renée V.
- markj80 (10/5): Outstanding Gem of a hotel - Why would one stay in a big chain hotel when you can experience the amazing hospitality in Casa Joaquin . Francisco and his wife couldn’t have gone to greater lengths to make our stay memorable from arranging our transfer , welcoming us on arrival to delicious breakfasts and great restaurant recommendations .
- christine (10/5): - Franciso the owner of the hotel is fantastic!! he gave us excellent restaurants to dine at and was very helpful in arranging our taxi to the airport and even was there to greet us at 2 am when we arrived during curfew hours and also to say goodbye at 5 am when we departed. he also arranged for us to have breakfast early when we climbed Cotopaxi. the room was really nice and the hotel is a great location for walking to restaurants and shopping.. I totally recommend casa Joaquin boutique hotel, great place to stay in Quito!!
- John (10/5): The cleanest, friendliest, and most comfortable hotel that I have ever stay in. - The room was much larger than the photos showed. It had a fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor garden. The complimentary breakfast was made to order and was delicious. The staff, Francisco, was extremely helpful. We had some concerns about the security in Quito, but Francisco answered all of our questions that put us at ease during our stay. Not applicable. Every aspect of our stay, including the price, location, amenities, and staff exceeded all of our expectations.
- Village-traveller (8/5): A charming boutique hotel, with a great breakfast - We stayed there for 2 nights, giving us a full day to explore quito. The hotel was charming, well maintained and looked like it was recently renovated. The rooms were nicely decorated and had that feeling like we were staying with someone we knew. The bathroom was also recently renovated and did not have a cramped feeling to it.
Breakfast was not your usual breakfast buffet found in chain hotels. They offered a freshly made French Toast or an omlete. The buffet had fresh fruit and bread. We enjoyed it.
The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We asked for a recomendation for a restaurant within walking distance that served local cuisine. They suggested a restaurant that was 2 blocks away and had excellant ecuadarian food at a reasonable price.
As an retired couple, we took a taxi to the old city, as it was a little too far to walk.
There was also a mis-understanding, my inquiry into pricing of the airport taxi was mis-interpreted as confirmation, which resulted in a double booking. This was quickly resolved by hotel staff.
- David (10/5): Safe & sound in Quito - Great host with excellent communication. Suited us perfectly for stay in Quito with easy access to city centre.
- Paluszak (10/5): Great Room and Breakfast. Location could be closer to activities. - We enjoyed the breakfast, it was a step above the free breakfast offered by chain hotels. The food was fresh and made to order. The breakfast room was clean and nicely decorated. Staff was friendly and available to help. Once you walk into the hotel, you are transported to a great experience. Even though our room was on the streetside, our sleep was not disturbed by traffic, which was minimal. The venue was a good tradeoff between price and location. We used a taxi to get to the old city, which we had expected to do when we booked. If we were staying longer, we would have stayed within a shorter walking distance to the old city.
- 0x6pplnx7r (10/5): Family vibe - Very clean hotel in Quito that felt like home. It served a wonderful breakfast and most of all had a lovely manager. Francesco and his wife are friendly, helpful, caring. From helping us access a medical clinic to finding a good restaurant to making car rental arrangements- we felt they went above and beyond.
The owners I am sure are aware of what an asset Francesco is to the establishment!
- Andrew (10/5): - Francisco was very helpful with every aspect of our stay. From organizing the shuttle from the airport to giving us daily tips on when and where to visit in Quito. The breakfast service was second to none. 5 stars from our visit.
- Ashventurers (10/5): Safe & sound & happy in Quito - Great central accomodation in Quito for our family of 3. Francesco was a wonderful host and very responsive to our many many questions and arranged wonderful drivers for our day tours and airport transfers to make our time that much more enjoyable. Despite what you might be reading or thinking quito feels very safe and life is going on pretty much as normal - all they need is people to stop cancelling their visits. They are very reliant on tourism and are definitely hurting from all the recent cancellations. Easy and cheap to get around whether you choose Uber & cabs + definitely recommend dining @ cire central, Miskay, and Zazu.
- Harry (10/5): Amazing! - Excellent location, lovely rooms and helpful staff. Would highly recommend!

- Tracy (10/5): Great Stay! Highly recommended - Amazing hotel, staff and location. Would highly recommend. Lovely family run hotel. Nothing was too much trouble and lots of advice and recommendations were given by Francisco. Breakfasts were lovely, rooms large and well

We for sure will stay here when we visit Quito in the future!
- Christian (10/5): As lovely as the hotel is, the star at this establishment is the host Francisco. He was the most helpful, gracious, and - Beautiful comfortable boutique hotel with lots of charm Nothing, it was one of the best stays anywhere.
- Christian (10/5): The best host of any place I ever stayed. - Very cute, comfortable boutique hotel. But the owner Francisco, was such a helpful gracious host, he made this one of the most enjoyable place I have ever stayed. Nothing

- Christopher (10/5): - Casa Joaquín is an amazing, quiet bed & breakfast style hotel in the center of La Mariscal which has easy walkable access to affordable restaurants, bars, clubs, and the artisan markets. General Manager Francisco was incredibly kind and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We stayed in the larger family suite which was spacious and comfortable and has a beautiful kitchen. The breakfast every morning was also delicious. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves traveling to Quito in the future!
- Richard (9/5): Superb - We were met at the airport late at night by driver arranged by the hotel, and were met at the door by Francisco when we arrived. He has been available for the entire stay to provide advice and see that everything was going smoothly.
The room is great, bed, bath and sitting area. High quality fixtures and decorating noted. The location is good but it is close to the entertainment district so there will be some expected revelry and activity noted in the evening, but it was not a problem. I would stay here again
- Carol (9/5): A great place to stay! - Fransisco (the owner) was wonderful! He helped us with taxis, restaurant recommendations and reservations, and was so nice to chat with! Breakfast was delicious, room was a nice size, bathroom was good. We are so glad that we chose this hotel for our 5 night stay in Quito! More hangers in closet and a queen size bed.
- Stephen (8/5): We are pleased we stayed. - Francisco the manager is very obliging and helpful, a great asset for the hotel. our room was spacious and comfortable. we enjoyed the breakfasts and bar facilities. the hotel is not far from major shopping precinct and botanic gardens. getting laundry done was simple, very quick and cheap the hotel does not have an elevator. the nearby streets are somewhat worrying as most of the shops are permanantly closed and it is a bit run down. Our room had a small kitchen which would benefit from having some more kitchen items.

Including: additional breakfast when we arrived to early check-in in the morning, excellent recommendations and direction for a trip to the city and a restaurant, answers to every request and availability at any hour out of a sincere desire to help Stronger wifi inside bedroom
- Charles (10/5): Highly recommended! - Everything about the hotel itself was really thoughtfully designed. It was lovely, including a roof terrace! Our host (Francisco) was really helpful and friendly in a gentle polite way, suggesting places to visit, explaining how to get around easily (and cheaply)... The breakfasts were just right, a choice of fruits, yoghurts, cooked dish(es), drinks... The area was quiet but, like a lot of Quito, best not to wander around at night. It was a $4 taxi ride to the Old Town (lots of taxis) but also worth visiting some local places such as the covered market. Nothing, a perfect choice!
- Karen (10/5): Lovely hotel but keep your things put away. - We loved the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were also great! The location was quite conveniently located to a number of restaurants. The only odd occurrence was that my nightgown disappeared. It was returned the next morning and the explanation was that it was caught up in the sheets when they were changed but I found this odd. It also was not necessary to change the sheeys as they had only been used one night.
- Sara (10/5): beautiful family run establishment where they know you by your name - Lovely old property in the heart of Quito. The owners of the business care for you directly and are extremely attentive. Breakfast is delicate and yummy!
- Sally-ann (10/5): great stay, safe location - lovely hotel in a great location. couple of blocks up the road lots of eating places. one block to the main road to the phone shop to get a sim (always get crelo over movistar- better coverage). great breakfast and quiet hotel even at weekends. cable tv in the room so it was great for football (if you’re sad like me) or movies at night leaving my key at the desk- I was very in and out
- Chris (10/5): I will stay here next time I come to Quito. - the hotel was great and the best part was the help Francisco offered at any time. He worked so hard to make our stay outstanding!
- Vishal (10/5): Exceptional - The team were really friendly and went over and above to make us feel welcome. It's in a good location, close to some nice restaurants and a relatively safe neighborhood.
- Alexandra (10/5): Exceptional - The room was beautiful. The hotel felt very luxury. A welcomed experience after a very long bus journey from the amazon
- Ririri10 (10/5): Excellent stay - Very nice hotel run by warm and nice people. I felt very welcome, Francisco went extra mile to ensure that all my questions are answered and I feel comfortable during the stay. Nothing
- Alba (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fada (10/5): - hotel stuffs are very ncie
- Jihad (9/5): Superb -
- Karim (10/5): Cute hotel with amazing hospitality in a convenient location - We had an amazing stay! The location is perfect - close to just about everything (the old town, good restaurants and bars, various sightseeing destinations); the hotel itself was really cute and quaint...breakfast was really nice, and most importantly Francisco, the hotel manager who does just about everything, and his staff were amazing. This boutique hotel is the definition of hospitality...if you're going to Quito, give this hotel try - you won't be disappointed!
- Nicole (8/5): Good stay - It’s very quiet. No earplugs needed. Great hot shower with insane water pressure. Very friendly staff. The room had a smell to it, bit oldish. Fortunate enough it had a window, so we left that open for some fresh air. Bed is a bit small for us, not European size. Room is pretty small too. Breakfast is ok, nothing special: eggs, coffee/tea/milk/juice, toast, some fruits, cereals.
