The rooms are spacious and well decorated. We’ve stayed here 3 times and especially like the rooms on the top floor that have patios facing the mountains. There’s no elevator so it’s a hike to the fourth floor. The staff always helps us with our luggage.

Cute historic building, clean, fairly comfy

Our room was a fourth floor walk up. Comfortable with two nice beds, good bathroom, shower. There was good TV and WiFi. Breakfast was eggs to order, yogurt, rolls, juice, fruit, some hammy stuff and cheese. All in all totally OK. They nicely let us store bags for three days afterward. I agree it was a bit pricy as we were there over Christmas and the entire area was quiet. For an extended stay you might book a couple nights here and look around. A wide range of hostals is available.

We had several options to choose from and we are so glad we picked this place. We had the room with the balcony that had a great view of the city and surrounding hills. There were a couple of great restaurants just a block or two away for dinner. But best of all was the Nadia at the front desk. She was so friendly and helpful. She never tired of our never ending questions and requests. We would come back again and again!!!

Idea for a single traveler if your considering..

Very conscience staff. Once i booked the accommodation I continued to contact the hotel for advise. Nadia organized taxi, with the mans car details, name and where i should be at the airport. Exceptional service for a person who has never been to Ecuador. The hotel has many repeat visitors from all over the world, i was rather impressed.

Kitu Hotel, Quito

Das Hotel ist mitten in La Mariscal Distrikt lokalisiert etwa 2.5 km von historischen Zentrum entfernt. Das ist im ältere Baustil gebaut mit Holzboden und ein bisschen altmodisch, aber es hat mir trotzdem gut gefallen. Leider gibt e kein Aufzug und in 3000m Höhe ist es nicht so leicht Gepäck hochzutragen. Das personal ist sehr freundlich und behilflich und hat mir guten Tipps für die Umgebung gegeben. Das traditionelle Frühstück war sehr schmackhaft aber auch etwas kalorienreich.

I arrived early in the morning on an international flight and was still allowed into my room right away. The desk staff was very friendly, helpful and spoke excellent English. Breakfast in the attached restaurant was tasty and cost only $3. The rooms were spotlessly clean and very reasonably priced. The building is older and has no elevator, and at night there was some noise from hall/staircase and the street, but that just comes with the territory. The neighborhood is safe and walkable, with restaurants, a grocery store, and small markets for water/snacks very nearby.

We stayed at Sierra Madre for one night. The room was a good size and had a large balcony. However when speaking to friends it was overpriced compared to other rooms in the city. That said, the staff were friendly and the breakfast good.

Simple Place, Good value for money

Offers a hotel shuttle which consists of hiring a registered taxi for you from airport. Cost ~30 USD, airport about 40 minutes away. Rooms are very simple but clean. No fridge/AC/heat. Situated right in Mariscal Sucre area which is hotspot for restaurants, shops, etc, so easy to find food to eat. Since its in middle of the city, can be loud at night with music, car noises, etc.

Kind, considerate staff, and comfortable hotel

I was in Quito for a layover. This hotel's staff was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and kind. I (a solo female traveller), arrived in the hotel later at night. As it was too late for me to comfortably venture out for dinner, the man at the front desk ordered a pizza for me. I had a single day in Quito before my flight late the following night. So, in the morning, the woman at the front desk sat down with me and went over a map of places to go and things to see. I particularly appreciated the woman's candour in noting areas that would not be safe for me to go alone, even in the daytime. While I ventured out for the day, the hotel stored my belongings (I had checked out that morning). What was exceptionally considerate was when I returned to the hotel and still had a few hours to kill before heading to the airport for a midnight flight, the same man at the front desk from the night before gave me a room free of charge to rest in before my flight. I greatly appreciated the staff at this hotel (and the woman running the breakfast was also very cheerful and friendly).

NO! GO Elsewhere.

Hotel was overbooked. Reserved a room with a balcony for 2 nights of vacation. But, when we arrived to check in, we were given a broom closet. The shower did not work, no hot water and no water pressure. Maintenace kept us waiting after midnight, the maintenance man could not fix the shower and said the hotel was aware of the problem before we checked in. Hotel staff working the late shift said nothing they could do since all the other rooms were taken. So our first day was disasterous, after a long flight and not able to shower. On the second day, a huge group checked out, the manager finally agreed to give us another room, however, we were so exhausted from the previous night our short stay was not enjoyable. Older hotel that shows and smells like it.

Preis/Leistung stimmt

Das Hotel liegt in Gehnähe vom Ausgehviertel "Foch". Etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber noch einigermassen gut im Schuss präsentiert sich das Sierra Madre in einem anständigen Zustand. Service ist sehr zuvorkommend. Minuspunkte: Frühstück nur bis 09.30 Uhr und WiFi nicht in allen Zimmern verfügbar.
