I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Friends. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and very cozy. I also loved the location because it was convenient and close to many interesting places in Quito. The breakfast was delicious and fresh every morning. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Quito. I hope to come back again soon!

Fantastic 4-day stay right in Quito’s historic center — a charming boutique colonial-style property with super friendly staff and an excellent rooftop atmosphere, all within easy walking distance of museums, churches, plazas, and local restaurants.
The only minor issue was no hot water from the sink faucet, but I got used to it quickly.

We loved everything about Friends Hotel & Rooftop! We were warmly greeted when we arrived which felt good after a long day of travel. The room was relaxing, bed was comfortable, and shower was hot. Breakfast was amazingly delicious and the location was perfect to walk around town and explore.

Genuinely friendly staff and a great location in the Historic Center. The windows do an excellent job blocking outside noise.
Noise from inside the hotel is a serious problem. The door barely blocks sound from the staircase, and guests and staff were loud well past 10:30 PM every night. I’m a good sleeper and it still affected me. No rules about noise despite plenty of other posted rules. A heavier door would fix this almost entirely. The room also had several maintenance issues: loose hooks, a broken safe, wobbly bathroom fixtures. Breakfast is fine but unremarkable with no real choice, and being asked for a review the moment we finished eating felt more like a cheap diner than a hotel.

It’s a unique building with lots of character. We had a great view from our window. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. The bathroom was very clean and the shower was hot. We had easy access to filtered water. The staff were very helpful, kind and accommodating. They helped us organize tours and taxis when we needed them. When we went to Cuyabeno they stored our extra luggage for us till we returned. The breakfast and coffee were excellent and there are quite a few restaurants close by.
There are a lot of stairs and no elevator. With adjusting to the high elevation of Quito we sometimes found the stairs challenging.

Charming small hotel in the historic district. Very conveniently located.
No elevator or hot water in the bathroom sink. Was not an issue for us but could be for others.

Excellent staff! Thank you Yale and the rest of the workers for such great hospitality and for helping us in every way. From breakfast to advice, top service. The location was safe and excellent and close to the plaza.
Just the noise between the floors when other guests walked but its an old building.

This is an authentic hotel just steps from the main area of old Quito. Very good place to stay. We were served a lovely breakfast and had a very comfortable room
I wish there had been coffee in the room
