We spent 5 nights in Quito at Casa Joaquin. The hotel is well appointed, well cared for, very clean, and decidedly charming. Francisco's level of service is truly... read more wonderful. He offered great tips for restaurants and sights, and helped arrange car service to and from Quito. The breakfasts were delicious every morning and Francisco arranged an early breakfast for us when our bike tours had an early start. I also just really enjoyed chatting with Francisco: he's thoughtful, kind, and very interesting! The location provided easy access to the Old Town and up to Parque La Carolina. Good restaurants and nightlife nearby. Highly recommended!

  What a nice place.. clean and comfortable. Francisco did a great job in accommodating my every need. Nice rooms, good breakfast. I recommend this place to stay.
What bothers... read more me about TripAdvisor is when I do a review, this section has to be 200 characters.. that's BS

  I wanted to make sure I took the time to write this when we teturned from Quito. I almost never write reviews but this was worth one. We stayed at... read more Hotel Joaquin for two nights before traveling to the Galapagos. Francisco arranged a driver to meet us at the airport - he was there to greet us upon our arrival and was very knowledgeable about the city.

The hotel is really cute, nicely decorated and very well kept. But it’s the service that most impressed us. Francisco is a one-man show! He was there to greet us, prepared our breakfast in the am, showed us where to go on the map, organized a driver to help us navigate the city and gave us a recommendation for a place to have a really lovely lunch. He was there in the evening to pour us a glass of wine at the bar and he was also up super early when we had to check out to go to the Galapagos - he even made us coffee and breakfast croissants to go - at 5 am!! highly recommend this hotel and hope you will check it out too. You will not be disappointed!! More
