A work in progress. Right now, 3.5 stars.
This 400 year old property is in the process of being updated and beautified. The owner is working hard, but our bathroom shower still leaked. The grounds are vast and she is happy to show you around the yet to be rehabbed space. Quite interesting and quite a challenge. It is a high gated compound that we didn’t leave and without much around it. If you want it, dinner is $24 + wine. The owner cooks it herself. Good, but pricey.

Quite, comfortable, beautiful but away from city
We stayed here one night after flying into Quito at midnight. The Hacienda will pick you up from the airport at no charge. They contacted us as soon as we booked to ask about travel plans. The Hacienda is not in the city and the neighborhood is not great, but it is secure, beautiful, quiet and comfortable. The breakfast was included and very good. Wifi is available in the lounge area of the main building. It is 300 years old and the buildings and grounds are beautiful and relaxing. It's 45 minutes from Quito, 20ish from the airport.

Historic Charm
This was an absolute gem of a surprise. We had looked for a accommodation near Quito's international airport and arrived at a 400 hundred year old mansion with 4-foot thick walls! Hostess/proprietor Elizabet graciously settled us into a charming room with hand painted floral designs on the whitewashed walls and matching fittings. We asked for a tour: each room was unique with floral paintings, matching crochet covers, and one-of-a-kind antiques. The food was home made and nourishing and served in the authentic kitchen. Hot water bottles were placed in our beds (tho' the thick walls kept the rooms warm) and there were fresher fruit dipped in chocolate at our bedside! What more could one ask for?

Bathroom should be better . We had to take bath in an old bath tub and it was inconvenient with curtans clinging to your body and leaving no room to move about. Bath room shower area needs a redo. Breakfast is very good. Staff is very courteous. Even did my overnight laundry here.

Beautiful Hacienda with WONDERFUL Staff!!!
We were so impressed with this Hacienda and Staff! What a perfect introduction to Ecuador! Erica greeted us as we drove up the leaf arched, cobble stone lane. She gave us a tour of the Hacienda, and saw to our every need! The grounds are immaculately groomed with flowers, vines, trees and roses. The Owner took some time to share some history of the Hacienda with us. Our room was clean, spacious and decorated to maintain the original flavor of this place. The food served in the main dining room was the best we have tasted! Margarita and Thalia, ( the Cooks and Servers) were a perfect blend of friendliness and professionalism! Washington, our taxi driver, gained our confidence immediatly! It was like visiting with a long-time friend! His relatives took us on a very enjoyable and personalized tour of Quito. Even though this Hacienda is close to the airport, it was sooo quiet. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful location
Don't pay attention to the "Free shuttle roundtrip" What that actually means is they will pay for a taxi to pick you up from the airport. However you have to pay for the taxi to the airport, and the hotel arranges the price for you (three times the going rate) The upside is our taxi driver was really nice and spoke some english. The grounds were beautiful and our room was incredible. They have no heating so the rooms are cold, but that is a small price to pay for the amazing bed, gorgeous furniture, and safe grounds 20 minutes from the airport. Their dinner (if you don't mind paying $19 a person) Is fantastic local cuisine. I would stay here again if I had a morning or night flight.

Unique and wonderful old hacienda
WE loved the Hacienda Su Merced. Only 15 minutes from the Quito airport. 350 years old, well maintained , great charming bedrooms, modern bathrooms, lovely gardens, perfect service, historical public rooms filled with antiques and a personal family history. You couldn't ask for more. Wish we had stayed 2 nights and chilled out.

Great hotel great atmosphere
I wanted to bring my wife to somewhere special that she would always remember. This hotel is just that. It's a very old hacienda that has a certain comfort for someone who enjoys classic architecture. There are many antiques adorning the grounds. Erika was a wonderful host, who took great pride, as she should, in this property.

overpriced
While the property was a 400 year hacienda converted to a motel/rooms the property is extremely isolated - the cab driver was not even able to locate the property without several different turn arounds and arguing with his dispatcher. We arrived late in the evening and had an early flight out and while they offered a dinner - they overcharged greatly for the room and the meal. We had an early flight so a plastic bag with a banana, box of juice and some unknown meat type of packed sandwich was our "breakfast included".

We stayed at the Hacienda before a trip to the Galapagos. There are so many wonderful antiques, it's like staying in a museum! I am told the Hacienda is 400 years old. the room was beautiful and came complete with a hot water bottle for anyone with cold feet (me)! the staff is lovely and Washington was a delight!

Incredible facilities well preserved as a Hacienda
We stayed in this Hacienda Hotel because we needed to go very early to the airport. We looked in diferent sites and found this in Travelocity and booked two rooms with them. We arrived a little bit late at night 9 PM and they were expecting us. They showed the incredible facilities of a very well preserved Hacienda with lots of collectible artifacts and very nice stuff. We searched in the Internet for a Hotel near the Airport because we didn't want to go back to Quito and make the hour and a half trip, so we stayed in this hotel. The only thing I regret is not having enough time to enjoy the facilites because we leave the Hotel at about 4:00 AM for a very early flight back home. They even prepared breakfast for us at that time! Excellent attention and very nice and clean rooms.

Authentic hacienda only 20 minutes from airport
I found the Su Merced to be enchanting. When my taxi pulled into the drive I was met at the taxi by a hotel manager who addressed me by name and escorted my to my room. I was asked what I would like for diner and told that it would be ready in the dining room in 30 minutes. Internet is available in the main lobby area and I found that it worked well. The two foot thick walls of the hacienda limit the distance of the WiFi to the lobby area. The decor of the room made me feel like I was indeed in a charming, 400 year old hacienda. The view of Quito from the patio garden was stunning. I only wish I had booked for two day (or more) so I could better explore the area. After dinner I ordered a glass of wine and sat in the lobby updating emails and the such after two weeks in the Galapagos Islands. When I was done I was given a hot-water bottle - because the room I had was not temperature controlled. The hot-water bottle was warm all night. The manager ordered a 05:00 taxi for me and the owner was out to say goodby and thank me for staying at the hotel. In summary, keep in mind that this is a 400 year old hacienda; old wood doors and window shutters are not sound-proof. But it is only 20 minutes from the new International Airport (UIO) and I doubt that you can find a staff more attentive and willing to meet your needs. I haven't been anywhere where I felt more connected to Ecuador.
