Quito, Ecuador Hotel Rooms at the Independent

I did have a good experience, nice and quiet room.

The first thing you will notice is how friendly and helpful the staff at the hotel are. The rooms are lovely and clean and modern, the hotel has a small and friendly atmosphere. It is located fairly close to the main area of Foch Plaza (approx 150 meters) so is great for food, drink and entertainment. Unfortunately this also means that there can be a bit of noise if located on one of the rooms that front onto the street, but otherwise this is a lovely gem of a hotel. We would definitely stay again if in Quito.

Fantastic views and a variety of places to relax. This was my first time in Ecuador and I barely understand Spanish. Each member of the staff was helpful and most spoke English. They responded to my questions/needs, guided me to quality dining and touring experiences, and secured cabs with my cost and safety in mind. This hotel is small enough that, over breakfast (tasty), I met the other vacationers from all over the world. We shared our experiences of Quito and learned new places to explore. I would stay there again!

We came off a wonderful boat trip through the Galapagos Islands, which had a very rigorous schedule starting at 7AM daily. I had seen this hotel on line and fell in love with it. We decided to tack on 2 days at the end of our trip to relax without a schedule. This was the best decision I ever made. We arrived to a fire going in the living room, fresh roses on the table, hot water bottles in our bed and fresh cookies on the night stand! In the morning the breakfast that was included, was served on our porch with fresh blackberry juice. The decor was incredible:l tasteful, warm, antiques and copper. The first night I sank into the huge copper tub. We had dinner both nights in their restaurant. I am a chef and I thought the food was amazing. We never left the property until it was almost time for our plane. The owner is an American with a lovely, bubbly personality. The staff was one of the best I have ever dealt with. They were professional, yet warm and friendly. Most of them spoke English, or tried.

Beautiful hotel...fantastic service...fabulous restaurants....best location in Quito. We saw the changing of the guard out our window. Was the perfect hotel for our stay in Quito.

Incredible hotel with a warm house-like feeling, super kind staff that cooks amazing meals. Honestly, one of the nicest hotels if travelling with your partner, family or like me, on my own! I got a taste of family living in Quito thanks to the Hotel!

Location is great, rooms are a bit small by american standard but this is normal Quito standard. Very very nice rooms, clean, hospitable staff...great breakfast, very nice ambiance to hang around. Opposite the hotel is a restaurant...don't miss the fish and chifles there...Even though I stayed in two other hotels in Quito (Hotel San Francisco and Casa Joquin), I think Veijo Cuba was the best overall and best overall value. This would be my number one boutique hotel choice....

Wonderful spacious suite for four of us. Convenient location to the park and restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff.
