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.

Cool hotel, friendly staff, great location in the old town. The exterior is old and charming. Inside is a modern oasis in a bustling city.

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.

As we pulled up to the hotel in our cab, someone immediately came out and got our luggage. The receptionist, Gloria, sat down with us to tell us about the hotel and gave us a detailed map and suggestions when we asked about what to see and do. The room was large and comfortable with a great bed. The hotel was quiet and peaceful. The main room was comfortable with sofas and chairs. You could also sit in the backyard to eat or read or just relax. (Brownie , the bunny, lives in the back yard). We would definitely stay there again.

Hotel Vieja Cuba is a very well situated hotel close to all the bars and restaurants in the tourist area. It appears to have just about sixteen or so bedrooms in it so has a very homely feel about it . They are very helpful at reception giving you advice on trips or directions with a map and their English is very good. They have a lovely lady doing the breakfast in the morning who is always in very good form full of smiles and she brings down ,cereal , yogurt , toast ,eggs to start your day off with . The rooms are very well maintained and there is a room safe in the wall although this place seems so secure you wouldn’t really require it but nice to have peace of mind anyway. They have many seating areas one of which has a computer which is handy to look things up yourself also. It is a very attractive building in appearance inside and out. I would recommend this Hotel to anyone staying in Quito.

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