Hostal Flores

I love authentic hotels (not chains). This fit the bill. It is in excellent shape, the room was comfortable (but not spacious), and best of all, it faced an interior courtyard which meant it was complete isolated from street noise. However, I was the only guest there at the time. Had there been others, their noise would have gone right through their and my doors and windows, which are merely symbolic. So take that into account. Hot water was long in coming and hard to regulate. Bed as hard as a rock. Otherwise, it was a wonderful, restful stay.

Bed very hard. Thin walls. Hot water hard to regulate.

This is a good, basic accommodation for a short stay in Quito. Location is convenient to many sites. The staff was helpful and friendly. Plenty of closet and drawer space, but comforts in room were sparse.

The bathroom was rustic. There were some cobwebs and dust in the closet spaces.

The staff were the best part of our stay. Wilson was friendly and helpful and very accommodating to our needs. He upgraded us to a room with a window to the outside and it made all the difference to our being able to stay. Andreas, a staff member on another shift, was also very friendly and always asking to be of assistance. The location is excellent to see all the attractions of Quito.

Staff and location

C'est un bel hôtel qui fait impression (illusion) quand on arrive: deux cours, des balcons de fer forgé, une décoration typique.

Sols, murs, briques, béton, tout était en train d'être repeint et pendant une semaine les odeurs ont été insupportables. Les chambres ouvrent sur le balcon et la cour donc on est obligé de fermer tout le temps les rideaux et de vivre dans le noir. La wi fi ne fonctionne qu'au pied du lit, pas à la tête. C'est surtout la salle de bain qui est limite: petite, humide, sent le moisi; la cabine de douche est minuscule, l'eau est soit brûlante, soit glacée. Le ménage de ma chambre n'a pas été fait pendant cinq jours !
