Hotel Patio Andaluz

A quiet, low-key hotel in a former mansion in the old city, just two blocks from Plaza Grande We were less-than-thrilled by our room options: a two-level suite with the bed downstairs, the closet and bath up a narrow flight of stairs; or a smaller room with windows onto an air shaft to the roof. But almost everything else about the hotel was delightful. The staff went out of their way to be helpful, breakfasts were excellent, and the internal courtyards absolutely charming. Tip: laundry done by the hotel is absurdly expensive; private laundries are just a couple of blocks away.

Lovely boutique hotel close to main square. Big comfortable rooms around open balcony. Friendly and welcoming staff. Superb location. Great restaurant and lovely breakfast. We slept soundly although there was occasional external which is a consequence of the hotel design.

We didn’t have a very positive experience here. There were major renovation works going on, but this wasn’t mentioned anywhere on the hotel’s website or on Expedia (where we booked). The noise was extremely loud every day from around 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. We complained, and staff offered another room, but it had the same noise level. The rooms also had no windows to the outside, only to the main patio where the construction was happening. On our second day, we noticed $72 missing from our safe. I’m not sure if the door was left unlocked or if someone managed to open it, but the missing amount matched the smaller bills we had for tips. I reported it to reception, and they said they would investigate. The next day, they said housekeeping denied taking the money. Later, we found a complimentary bottle of wine in the room — a kind gesture, but it didn’t really make up for the situation or the constant noise. On the positive side, the hotel’s location was great, the atmosphere was nice, staff were helpful and respectful and breakfast was decent. But overall, it was a disappointing stay, and we wouldn’t choose this hotel again.

Unfortunately this hotel is overrated and overpriced. It’s no longer old and charming but just old and tired: AC doesn’t work, TV doesn’t work, bathroom is dark and dirty, shower pressure is low, rooms are dark and noisy and staff is just running around without doing anything. Cannot recommend unfortunately. Feels like a $50/night hotel, pay nothing more.

Patio Andaluz is a very nice hotel in a central Quito location. The concierge and staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. We appreciated the included buffet breakfast, and were even given breakfast in to-go bags when we needed to leave in the early morning. Make sure to take advantage of the free chocolate tasting (just ask at the front desk), which was fun and informative. ||I have only two complaints about this hotel. First, the rooms can be noisy because they are situated around an open courtyard with a restaurant in the middle. Second, the restaurant itself was sort of strange. It was always empty (except for breakfast) and we did not enjoy the food when we dined at dinner.||All in all, this hotel is a solid and safe choice in Quito!

We stayed at Hotel Patio Andaluz in Quito for 4 nights. The building itself is beautiful and the location is great, right in the historic center. The staff were all very kind, friendly, and helpful, which we really appreciated. However, unfortunately, our stay was not restful at all. There was major construction going on inside the hotel, and this was not mentioned anywhere on Expedia’s website and hotel’s website when we booked. The noise started in the morning and continued until around 4–5 PM every day, making it impossible to relax or rest in the room. We spoke to reception and they kindly offered to change our room, but the noise came from the central patio area, so it didn’t make any difference. Overall, while we appreciated the staff’s friendliness and the charm of the building, the construction noise made our experience quite disappointing. I hope the management will clearly inform guests about renovations in the future.

A chance to stay in a converted historic building with rooms situated around several internal courtyards. Plenty of seating to relax on the verandahs in comfortable chairs and lounges. Our room was clean and comfortable, good bed, fluffy towels. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We ate dinner twice in the hotel and the meals were very good. Staff were pleasant and helpful. The hotel is very conveniently located near the old town so it was easy to do a walking tour directly from the hotel.

Situated in the center of the old colonial district of Quito the Hotel Patio Andaluz made a perfect location for our visit to the city. The hotel is visually stunning, far beyond what you might expect from the somewhat reserved exterior. We had breakfast and dinner over several days and the food was always delicious and the service excellent. As is the case in almost any major city you must be aware of your surroundings when walking the area, and should have a partner to help guard against petty theft. Walking in any large city at night is not recommended, as is the case here.
