The good: It's beautiful--the outside, the lobby, the rooftop, the other common areas, the room, the bathroom. Everything. The staff is friendly and attentive. The restaurant is excellent. The bad: The walls are paper thin. Hopefully, it's not everyday that someone comes to Quito to spend their entire day and night talking on the phone, but when they do, you will be privy to those phone calls (both ends) as if you were in the room with them. So, not restful. Also, we only had hot water for the shower one of two mornings.

Would not recommend - all style no substance
Given this is an expensive hotel in Quito we had high expectations. Not only were we disappointed by the size of the room we had with a bathroom that was also way too small for two people, the room itself was tired and did not live up to the boutique style we were expecting. The service also was pretty terrible and resembled something you’d get in a cheap hotel. They charge for absolutely everything and there are no ‘perks’ like you’d expect with a premium hotel. We were there for New Year’s Eve and not even a complementary glass of fizz was provided to mark the occasion. Also if you’re staying in the same room we did you’ll be able to hear the music that is on repeat on the roof terrace Overall there was no real warm feeling to the hotel, it felt cold and soul-less.

This hotel is beautifully designed with cool modern rooms with high ceilings and several cozy public spaces in a turn of the century building. I could live in this hotel. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. We visited during a difficult time politically so it was great that the staff was extra accommodating. The hotel breakfasts and menu are delicious and the rooftop bar has great views over the historic district. The staff also upgraded us to a suite since the hotel wasn’t full and that was much appreciated and made everything extra comfortable. Thank you!

Great location for people interested in Old Town
Wonderful staff, no faults here. Excellent location as well (if you are interested in sightseeing) that is just a few blocks away from the Plaza Grande, where you have the presidential palace, the cathedral, etc. We booked a room with a city view / balcony, which I don’t really think is worth the extra cost since the hotel is in front of a market / Western Union outlet. Based on what we have heard from locals, the historical center has a lot of pickpockets so just a word of caution about walking around at night.

The location of this hotel is great. Walkable distance to the historic center and it’s attractions. The only downside was that it seemed as if we were the only guests at the time so the hotel staff was slightly slow. Also, most of the staff only speaks Spanish.

Fabulous small hotel with courteous staff and a unique vibe. The rooms are on the small side, but are wonderfully laid out so that they feel spacious and luxurious. Food in the restaurant is good, and the rooftop lounge has a wonderful view. Would absolutely stay here again on a trip to Quito!

Great boutique hotel with over the top service!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Carlota! Upon arrival, we were graciously greeted by Lisabeth, who attended to all of our needs. She gave us a quick tour of this beautifully renovated property before showing us to our room. Clean and extremely well appointed, our room spanned two floors. Picture a SOHO loft in the hear of Quito's historic district. The view form the rooftop deck was an added bonus! Lisabeth then helped us arrange our transportation to Banos the next morning . Our driver was awesome! Prompt, professional and extremely friendly, he took great care of us.Thank you to Lisabeth and and the Carlota for making our first trip to Ecuador so memorable. We look forward to our next visit!
