Mansion Del Angel

This boutique hotel is one of the best stay I had in my life, and I travel frequently! The staff are super friendly and as helpful as you could imagine. Anything they can help you with they will. Great decoration with luxurious and European style in a historic building~ The garden is beautiful and the small restaurant attached is superb! Amazing service for Xmas Eve for us. The room service were so detailed oriented and careful, with a nice touch of fun. Free drinks and dessert at check-in! Great furniture and view of the city. The location is also relatively close to old town and Crystal Palace. Overall amazing stay and highly recommend!!!

Reposting a review from my trip in 2018. This is by far one of my fav hotels of the year, especially for the price. I have probably stayed in 150 nights in a hotel this year alone worldwide. In Quito, there is just a lack of good hotels that are reasonable. There are a few that are int eh $450, and then it drops off like a rock unless you want to stay in the middle of no where. Most people will say stay in Mariscal. Sure, if you're 20 something or a backpacker looking to be out at a dirty bar all night. If you're not that young anymore and want it to be comfortable there are about 2 choices that are still in areas that make sense that would be worth of a 4+ star rating and are not going to cost you $500+ after tax. This one and Hotel Grand Plaza. Occasionally, you can catch a break on these two. I chose this one after having lunch and previewing the room at Hotel Grand Plaza. They are both super nice. But I liked that this was even more of a boutique when it came to the common areas. There is a gorgeous backdoor park that is perfect for reading or relaxing. The Library upstairs is a great place to sit down, have afternoon tea with little cookies and read a book. The lobby is just gorgeous. This is the place you stay if you want to be in a "rich friend's mansion." It feels nothing like a chain and everything is quaint and adorable. Clean goes without saying. But their dog Princesa is the cleanest white dog I have ever petted. Seriously, my hand did not even smell after petting her. She has a fabulous personality. Breakfast is basic, but adequate buffet. There are a nice selection of breads and cereals. They make eggs to order. But I really only cared about the adorable birds they have in a cage that just make the whole experience so wonderful. They are very into chocolate as another individual pointed out. It is a chocolate scent when you enter, chocolate soap, a chocolate on your bed, etc. I love it. If you hate it, maybe then you stay at Hotel Plaza Grande. If I was doing a romantic trip, I wouldn't think twice. This is definitely the spot. SOOOO charming. I was by myself. I still loved it. I have been writing and I could have stayed here all day and just wrote, either in the garden, the dining area, or in the library. Soooo great. Seriously.Show less

We can't claim any credit for finding this place because it was chosen for us by a tour company but I echo the compliments of other reviewers. Gorgeous rooms (always including the most beautiful bouquets of roses), good food with generously provisioned breakfasts and, above all, very attentive, friendly and helpful staff.
