Guest Reviews
- Evgeni (10/5): -
- Annika (10/5): Perfect - Yale and her colleagues were very kind and very understanding, when we had to reschedule our check in time and granted us a late check out, that was very helpful and we had a great time there, thank you so much!! All great
- Mario Federico (10/5): Excelente todo. - El hotel está situado en el casco histórico de Quito, lo que te permite moverte a pie por toda esa zona, sin problemas. La arquitectura del hotel es increible, ya que es una casa colonial (adaptada a hotel) de casi 300 años!!! Para destacar, la amabilidad de todo el staff del hotel. Volveré.
- Imtaz (10/5): -
- Deats (10/5): -
- Jerry (10/5): Friendly hotel in great location - Great location in Quito. Charming building with lots a great spaces to sit and chat or to have tea.
- Stephen (10/5): Great place to stay … again - We have stayed here three times. The property is clean and comfortable. The location was very close to great restaurants and within easy walking distance to main attractions. Communication was always easy and very efficient and effective. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast is very delicious and a great start to the day. We thoroughly recommend staying here and also using their car service to and from the airport.
- Martin (9/5): Ubicación perfecta, desayuno ideal en una azotea con vistas a la ciudad, calidad-precio +++ - Ubicación perfecta, desayuno muy correcto en una azotea con vistas a la ciudad, todo muy agradable. La habitación que elegí tenía con vistas al exterior, luminosa y era muy agradable ya que daba a una calle peatonal. El personal del hotel fue extraordinariamente atento y simpático en todo momento. Lo único que es mejorable es la organización arquitectónica y la calidad de los espacios interiores del hotel (la habitación sí es perfecta). Aunque se entiende que es una construcción antigua y es a lo máximo que se puede llegar sin meterse en una reforma costosa.
- Roberto (9/5): Nice hotel in centre of quito - Friends Hotel and Rooftop in Quito offers a fantastic stay with stunning views and excellent service.. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and a great location make it a top choice for visitors to Quito. Highly recommended!

The breakfast was well cooked and presented. Service was superb. We can’t fault this place and would highly recommend it.

The only minor issue was no hot water from the sink faucet, but I got used to it quickly.

It was easy arranging airport transfers through the hotel. The staff was very sweet and helpful with local recommendations. And the included breakfast (with a fantastic rooftop view) was super good - fresh fruit, eggs, pastry and jam, coffee and juice. Highly recommend.
- 844tomaszg (10/5): Charming hotel in historic center - Perfect view from the window. Good breakfast.
- Joelo-A (10/5): Comfortable stay - I had a comfortable stay at this hotel, the location was really good as it's close to many landmarks such as the Panecillo, Plaza San Francisco, the presidential palace, and many restaurants, shops, bakeries.

- Christiane (10/5): Great for Quito tourists. - Location, welcoming helpful staff and a building with character. People need to be advised to open the window at night. The oxygen became really low while sleeping.
- Flyer40395494320 (10/5): excellent staff, cosy rooms - Lovely reception staff who were very helpful when we arrived, cosy rooms, excellent breakfast personalised with my name (thank you, Mariano!). Also excellent company - other guests we encountered were well-travelled across Ecuador and South America and we exchanged notes.

- Mobile08059094992 (10/5): Friends Hotel in Quito, Ecuador - Great people doing a great job! ❤️
- yoavk329 (10/5): Breakfast review - A very pleasant breakfast. You get hot water and tea so everyone can prepare their own tea at the table. They also offer coffee and milk. You are always served two plates: one sweet plate, with items such as pancakes and a fruit platter, and another savory plate with a carbohydrate such as potatoes or bread, together with eggs.
- yokozuna81 (10/5): The best hotel in Ecuador - Staff is mega friendly and helpful. Location is top, right in city center, but safe! Breakfast is awesome- eggs & pancakes with a great view to Virgin of the Panecillo! TOTALLY RECOMMENDED
- Piotr Leszno (10/5): - Bardzo miła i pomocna obsługa.
- Tukano (10/5): - The view is amazing same as the staff
- jessicavschneider (10/5): Best Hotel - Best hotel! Best breakfast, staff and location! Would stay here any time I come back to Quito.
- Madalina (7/5): -
- Katrina (6/5): A great spot for the old town but not my happiest stay - The location in the old town is excellent. Mo need to uber in - it’s on your doorstep. And the old town feels pretty safe and pleasant to walk around. Our initial welcome was unwelcome and unfriendly. The receptionist’s English wasn’t great but if he was friendly and wanted to make us feel comfortable that would not have mattered. When Yale came on though the next morning she was wonderful and so helpful in a number of ways. Yale cheered me up about staying there for the next few days. Thank you Yale! My biggest complaint is that the rooms we paid for are not what we received. They said on bookings the rooms were soundproofed. As our room fronted onto the internal courtyard with a bedroom window that couldn’t close, I had a lot of noise coming in throughout the night. It was like an echo chamber unfortunately. We were also told the room had a washing machine but it doesn’t, so we had to pay US $44 to get our washing done. People like me will feel kinder in their reviews if these ‘promises’ are removed from the property details. I’m not sure if there are better places to stay in the old town but I wouldn’t have chosen this one if I’d known these things.
- Traveler62280506963 (10/5): A special experience. - Wonderful stay. Very conveniently located at the edge of the central UNESCO old city. Accommodating and personable. Breakfast in the rooftop restaurant fresh, abundant, and delicious accompanied by a truly beautiful panoramic wrap around view. Special thanks to Mariano.
- 228czeslaws (10/5): Thank you for very good breakfasts and nice and calm atmosphere) - Nice team who want to help you in any problem ;)

You can have good breakfast (continental style with local flavour) looking at beutiful Panecillo. All personne at the hotel very kind and always willing to make your stay a great experience. I really enjoyed in Friends hotel & Rooftop.

- Wanderlust2026 (10/5): Fantastic hotel with great views and breakfast - Wonderful hotel. Beautiful old building. Centrally located for the old town. Staff are really friendly. Rooms are well appointed. The altitude gets you on the walk up the stairs but you get acclimatised quickly! The dining room has the best views in the city. And the breakfasts are really delicious. And the chef is fantastic at altering the offering for any dietary. Highly recommend

- Rockwell (10/5): We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend! - We loved everything about Friends Hotel & Rooftop! We were warmly greeted when we arrived which felt good after a long day of travel. The room was relaxing, bed was comfortable, and shower was hot. Breakfast was amazingly delicious and the location was perfect to walk around town and explore.
- Fabian (7/5): Good location and friendly staff, but the internal noise makes it a poor fit for anyone who isn’t a very deep sleeper. - Genuinely friendly staff and a great location in the Historic Center. The windows do an excellent job blocking outside noise. Noise from inside the hotel is a serious problem. The door barely blocks sound from the staircase, and guests and staff were loud well past 10:30 PM every night. I’m a good sleeper and it still affected me. No rules about noise despite plenty of other posted rules. A heavier door would fix this almost entirely. The room also had several maintenance issues: loose hooks, a broken safe, wobbly bathroom fixtures. Breakfast is fine but unremarkable with no real choice, and being asked for a review the moment we finished eating felt more like a cheap diner than a hotel.
- Annette (10/5): - Ich habe das Zimmer für meine Tochter gebucht. Sie wurde sehr freundlich aufgenommen und vom Hotelpersonal bei der Organisation ihrer Weiterreise unterstützt. Zum Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse haben sie ihren Teller sehr hübsch dekoriert. Sie hat mir berichtet, dass sie sehr zufrieden war.
- Elan (10/5): I stayed for 4 nights and the service was impeccable and the rooftop dining breakfast area felt very homey and the cooks - The Staff were exceptionally kind professional and helpful
- Rhonda (9/5): Great location, amazing breakfast included - Location was great. Close to historic centre without the noise. The breakfast included was amazing. Beds were comfortable No hot water in the sink. Showers were nice and hot though. This is typical for historic locations in Ecuador.

- Munday (8/5): We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. - It’s a unique building with lots of character. We had a great view from our window. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. The bathroom was very clean and the shower was hot. We had easy access to filtered water. The staff were very helpful, kind and accommodating. They helped us organize tours and taxis when we needed them. When we went to Cuyabeno they stored our extra luggage for us till we returned. The breakfast and coffee were excellent and there are quite a few restaurants close by. There are a lot of stairs and no elevator. With adjusting to the high elevation of Quito we sometimes found the stairs challenging.
- Penelope (10/5): Great location and amazing staff! - Central location and staff really cared about my safety. Breakfast was also good. Would definitely recommend to stay here!

- Bczupryna (10/5): A must stay if visiting Quito. Old World Charm, exceptional accomodations, and an amazing staff! - What an amazing place to stay in Quito in the heart of the Historic District. The hotel has so much charming and welcoming. Everyone was so friendly, helpful, spoke fluent English and provided exceptional service e. Our room had a great view of the Virgin Mary and the beautiful mountains surrounding Quito. Breakfast was wonderful, cooked to order and they even personalized our plates. Check in and out was a breeze. They have a rooftop bar with awesome views and it is also where breakfast is served. We would highly recommend staying here. A big shoutout to Yale and the rest of the front desk staff as well as the chefs for making this a memorable stay.
