"We stayed two nights, with a 6AM departure the second morning. So we only have the chance to try the morning breakfast once, but it was fantastic. Did not try the pool or sauna. We were chauffeured to/from airport and on our tour of Quito, so cannot really comment on ease of access to transit or the city. But there was a convenience store across the street for water/snacks and a number of cafes nearby. We tried the attached restaurant for dinner, and it was decent. On the third floor traffic/motorbike noise was definitely noticeable for us. Overall service was pretty good and we enjoyed our stay. Wished there was access to a bigger store and more authentic Ecuadorian foods nearby. "
"The hotel is clean, staff is attentive and its the closest hotel to the airport. We have status and are extremely grateful for complimentary upgrades when available.
I do think there is a tiny bit of room making our stay even better by providing wash cloths since they only provide liquid soap and not bar soap. Also, the breakfast is always cold because the warmers are either not on or do not work, not sure. However, I will be back on our next trip to Ecuador because its so convenient. "
"We had a lovely time at the hotel San Francisco, staff was helpful and accommodating. We will definitely come back to this hotel in a heartbeat! Location was perfect, it was centrally located in the heart of old Quito, walking distance from all the local shops and restaurants. "
"The staff, the property and the view from my room were incredible. I highly recommend this gem! Be sure to read the story about this hotel’s history. So interesting! If you have a need or just a desire to stay in downtown Quito, do not pass this one by!"
"Very impressed with everything here. The room was large and very comfortable. The buffet breakfast was fantastic, as were the lunches we had at the hotel. Location next to a great park and an incredible botanical garden was fun. Easy to get to the old city via the new Metro."
