Hotel San Francisco de Quito
This hotel could not be more central and is two blocks from the main square. It’s also near the subway station and the KFC. There is a supermarket next-door. The economy room is pretty basic but very adequate for two nights Stay at a very reasonable price.. The public areas are pretty spectacular ...
