Casa Ceasars Historic Quito

The hosts Cesar and Hermana were wonderful! They were also full of useful information about Quito and environs. They and their son Oliver were very accommodating, attending to my every need.

Casa Caesar is in a great location. It’s in the older part of Quito which has colonial architecture, museums, churches, and markets. Alejandro and his father were great hosts who accommodated for flexible plans, suggested places to see and excursions, and assisted with arranging transportation. There was also an environment to meet other travelers and exchange experiences.

While I booked this hotel, it is currently under renovations. I wish Cesar would have let me know before as I arrived in the dark with my Uber driver telling me that this is not a safe area. Thanks to the drivers help we finally established that I was staying at Blue Door Housing instead. It’s a beautiful old building and Cesar is truly an amazing host. Didn’t have potable water the first night but after complaining, Cesar made sure I had some the following day. If a message was sent to me where exactly I was staying and if I had potable water the first night then it would have been 5 stars. You really can’t beat how friendly the host was. I also don’t think it’s a dangerous area despite what the Uber driver said as it was a very quiet but I had to Uber to restaurants at night.
