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.

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.

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.

One night only
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.

Charming little hotel
Really cute hotel. Located near the nightlife area but far enough away so not loud or crazy. The beds are very comfy and the room was clean and the staff was welcoming. We paid about $60 a night (including taxes).

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).
