Casa Joaquin is the perfect cozy home base in Quito, thanks in large part to the hospitality of Francisco, who must be the world's nicest and most helpful hotel manager.... read more He was always available with suggestions, assistance booking activities, restaurants, taxis, etc - and a hot cup of coca tea after a long day. Can't overstate how much I appreciated all of this in between my adventures around Ecuador.
The rooms are simple but comfortable, breakfast included, and the hotel is conveniently located. Definitely stay here and book direct - hotel aggregators take a big commission and every bit helps for these independent hotels in the face of Covid.

  We stayed at the Casa Juaquin in December of 2021, it was a lovely experience. Francisco and his family went out of their ways to make sure we were comfortable,... read more had all the information we needed, and fed us amazing breakfasts! We highly recommend this boutique hotel not just for its location, but for it's highly accommodating staff.

  It's hard to know where to begin with this review. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would do so in a heartbeat. Casa Joaquin was our main... read more base during a 10 day visit to Ecuador. Sr. Francisco was extremely friendly and welcoming from day one, and he and his mother attended to the smallest of needs, doing so flawlessly and with a smile on their faces (well, according to their eyes, since they were masked most of the time). When my return home was delayed by 3 days due to illness, they never made me feel like I was imposing or taking up space. In fact, they treated me like family and for that I will always be grateful. The hotel is very charming, with a good location, and a beautiful terraza that creates an atmosphere that reflects peace and calm. I had breakfast (which was always very tasty!) up there twice, and toasted my last night up there with a glass of wine. I would highly recommend Casa Joaquin, and hope to visit again in the future! Muchísimas grácias, Sr. Francisco. Mucho gusto a conocerte, y espero que podríamos visitar en el futuro. More
