Pleasant
Well kept up colonial hotel with excellent service and staff.
A Saturday night stay was very noisy with music blasting til 2am on the street below or in the square.

Very Good
The hotel is very beautiful, in a colonial style. Although it is old, it has all the facilities of a five-star hotel. It is located right on Independence Square, next to the Presidential Palace. Right in the heart of the city, within walking distance of all the main attractions of Quito. The staff is very polite.

Antiquated yet charming and regal - the location is amazing.
The pillows are super soft and the bed creaks.

The staff make the stay, and the staff at the hotel were beyond amazing! Upon check in, we were pleasantly surprised with a room upgrade to the 4-room Presidential Suite overlooking the Grand Plaza. Very enjoyable and would strongly recommend a stay at the hotel when in Quito.
There was a wedding immediately above our room on Saturday night and made it difficult to get to sleep before the noise abated around midnight. Not much noise barrier between the walls or ceilings.

Plaza Grande Hotel is an absolute gem. The food and service were excellent from start to finish. The concierge went above and beyond—arranging seamless transportation to and from the airport and accommodating every request with genuine warmth and friendliness. The staff made us feel truly cared for, not just “checked in.” And a must: don’t leave without trying the ice cream—it’s unexpectedly incredible

Disappointing
Location is great and the bed is amazing
Both nights we were there they organized events at the ballroom until 1 am… music is very loud and goes right through to the rooms… I couldn’t sleep nor could our 8 month old baby

The staff was lovely. The hotel was old, charming, in the center of town. They organized an early-morning taxi and box breakfast. There was complementary wine and treats in the room. We enjoyed the pool table in the bar area. We LOVED this hotel and only wished to stay longer! We hope to return one day.
Our free drink tickets turned out not to be free. The bidet in our bathroom was out of order (which was a shame but not tragic). Our airport taxi claimed he could not go all the way to the hotel due to pedestrian streets. Not the hotel's fault, but this left us walking with heavy bags.

Very lovely hotel close to the center of the historic district of Quito. Wonderful staff, very accommodating for our needs. We had a travel delay causing us to arrive after midnight. The staff greeted us with fresh hot towels and a welcoming beverage. They also arranged for boxed breakfast to go when we had a very early tour pickup. Breakfast other mornings at the hotel was wonderful and plentiful.
As the hotel is next to the main plaza, it is a bit noisy. Church bells ring at 6am, so no sleeping in.

Amazing location on Plaza grande! Beautifully maintained from top to bottom. Our suite was amazing with a view of the Virgin on the Hill, and overlooking the plaza.
Honestly, I almost always have something negative to say about a property but in this case I could find nothing to complain about.

Right in the middle of Old Towne Square. Fixed us breakfast to take with us when we had an early morning departure before the restaurant opened. Restaurant at the hotel had best food around for not an expensive meal.
Bar food could have offered few more choices
