We stayed in the Casa Gangotena for 4 nights in total. 2 before we ventured into the amazon and 2 after. Both stays were brilliant! The hotel and rooms are done up in luxurious fashion and the neoclassical style of the premises really adds a touch of class. The high tea that comes with the room rate too was most... More

We recently stayed for three nights at this fantastic hotel. One of the early century properties that used to belong to Gangotena family and was converted into a boutique hotel. The historically significant Italianate mansion was befitted with all the modern facilities and located right on the Plaza San Francisco. Although we didn't have a plaza view room, we were... More

An excellent hotel all round, in a great location overlooking San Francisco Square. There is a great view of the square from the roof terrace. The rooms are very comfortable and quiet. Excellent buffet breakfast. Charming and helpful service.

My wife and I began our honeymoon with 3 nights at this beautiful building, placed near centre in Quito's old town. We haven't got enough praise to give; the staff were helpful be it with info about the house or finding a taxi, and seemed genuinely happy to have us there no matter the hour we saw them, the food...

What a wonderful hotel in the center of the old town of Quito. We stayed here three different times over a 2 week trip to Ecuador that included Quito, the Amazon and the Galapagos (see other reviews). The staff could not have been more friendly, helpful and professional. Anything we wanted or needed was taken care of immediately and with... More

Our daughter is living and working in Argentina. When we vacation, we try to head to that part of the world to see her and for the 3 of us to see things that are new to all of us. This last trip was to Peru and Equador. The last of many hotels stayed at was this one. I have... More

It is difficult to add much to the superlatives already given to this hotel in other reviews, but it certainly deserves them all based on my experience. Everything is top class with no expense having been spared in the recent refurbishment. The food was equally top quality (breakfast, dinner and the amazing tea), all backed by excellent service. One of... More

We stayed here and were truly blown away by how good it is. We actually decided that the food was so good in the evening that we dined there two nights running. (Usually we try to eat outside of a hotel). A mixture of international and local dishes. Breakfast was good as well, with lots of choice. And as for... More

I have stayed in my fair share of swanky digs, but hands down Casa Gangotena is definitely one of the best...if not the best hotel I have ever stayed at. The hotel is gorgeous with high ceilings and marble floors - light, bright and airy. Very civilized. In any other city, a hotel of this quality smack dab in the... More
