Hotels near Cable Car, Quito

The service and care I received from Old town suites Quito is the best that I ever received for all the hotels I have stayed. My flight arrived at Quito in the early morning around 6:40am, I got to the hotel around 7:40am, hotel front desk employee Francisco took my luggages, provided me power cord to charge my phone, and even gave me a delicious breakfast. I felt I have been welcomed into my new home in Quito. The hotel provided milk, yogurt, bread, juice, cheese, eggs, ham, vegetables and fruits for making breakfast yourself or you can tell them ahead of time and they can prepare breakfast for you. I have had amazing experience in this hotel. The hotel location is great and you can walk to old town attractions. I'd highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Quito.

Friends Hotel was a fantastic place to stay in Quito. The standout was the delicious breakfast, with plenty of fresh, tasty options to start the day. Even more impressive was the incredibly friendly and welcoming staff members, from Yale/ Javier/ Joell at front desk to Mariano (staple chef at breakfast time) who were always happy to help with a smile and made us feel right at home. Their hospitality truly enhanced the experience. Comfortable rooms, a great atmosphere, and excellent service make this hotel an easy recommendation for anyone visiting Quito. A couple of things to note are that the hotel does not have elevators so if you are mobility restricted maybe avoid. The shampoo was not refilled when I began my stay but easily fixed by informing them. The hotel walls are quite thin too so be careful of any private conversations!

The reason I booked this hotel was because of the superb reviews. I can confirm the accuracy of those reviews. This is a fabulous place to stay. The staff are great. The facilities are exceptional. The restaurant is wonderful and has such a variety of delicious food. The health pool has crystal clear water. My room was much larger than what I'm used to over the last five weeks of traveling. It is easy to get the concierge to book excursions. There are airline check-in machines in the foyer. This is easily the best hotel I have stayed in over the past five weeks and comes with my highest recommendation.

Love this hotel! Near the airport. Great food. Always friendly. If you’re overnighting in Quito this is the airport you want to stay at.

Breakfast was tasty and with a beautiful view. Our room was one of the nicest rooms that’s we’ve stayed in while travelling South America. It was the comfiest bed and the room had a well-designed interior. The staff are friendly and welcoming. At night it’s recommended to get taxis to where you need to go while in the day it’s fine to walk around this unesco world heritage site area. 100% recommend to stay here for a few nights if you have time.

Good customer service. My single occupancy room wasn't huge, but it was big wrought and had a big windows that could open for fresh air. HOT WATER in the sinks and showers (thank heavens!). The wifi was slow, but it worked well enough. The front desk is 24/7. The location is also good with many shops, restaurants, grocery stores, public transport stops, ATMs, and more around. I'd stay here again.

The hotel is located on a one-way street in the old city. After entering through an iron gate, there is a different world. There are many green plants in the lobby. Our room is on the third floor, passing through a patio, which should have been built later. There is no elevator, and a handsome guy helped to carry the luggage up. The room is not very big, there is a small hall that can also put two large boxes, and the bathroom is very small. Go out of the room and go up one floor to the rooftop of the hotel, where you can see the scenery of the old city from a high altitude. The breakfast is very simple, just bread, milk and eggs. In the evening, we went out to eat at Chengdu Impression and came back. At around nine o'clock, there were basically no people on the street.

The facilities at this hotel are somewhat outdated, and the decor feels a bit old-fashioned. It would be great to see some modernization in these areas. That said, the view from the upper floors is fantastic and definitely a highlight of the stay. Additionally, the breakfast was quite good, with a decent variety and tasty options. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but upgrading the facilities and decor would significantly improve the stay.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely Outstanding Stay at Hotel Villa Lafayette! My stay at Hotel Villa Lafayette was nothing short of exceptional. It’s by far the cleanest hotel in all of Ecuador—absolutely spotless in every corner. The entire property is beautifully maintained, quiet, and filled with elegant touches that make it feel both luxurious and welcoming. The staff were outstanding—warm, attentive, and truly professional. They offered excellent local recommendations and always treated me with kindness and care. The location is ideal—tucked in a peaceful part of La Mariscal, just a short walk from Plaza Foch and some of Quito’s best restaurants and shops. My room was quiet, stylish, and very comfortable, with a serene garden view that made me feel instantly relaxed. Breakfast each morning was fresh, generous, and thoughtfully prepared. The entire experience felt safe, polished, and perfectly cared for. If you’re looking for elegance, cleanliness, and world-class service, Hotel Villa Lafayette is simply the best choice in Ecuador. I would return in a heartbeat!
