Casa El Edén

Mario and his wife were wonderful hosts, accommodating our early checkin and outs with a smile. The hotel is a very old colonial building with very modern and well decorated rooms. Right in the centre of the old town with easy access to the Plaza Grande.

This lovely boutique hotel is conveniently located in Centro Histórico, close to Plaza de Independencia, museums, bars and restaurants. It is a beautifully renovated building, with cozy, artfully decorated rooms, with personal touches added in. The owners of Casa El Edén are fabulous! Throughout our stay Mario and Blanca were friendly, attentive, and receptive. From our first visit, to our second, they remembered specific requests we had made, and implemented them before our arrival, which added to our comfort. Their daily complimentary breakfast was delicious, which included fresh juice and fruit, yogurt and granola, eggs and rolls. However, it was the friendly service that made each morning special.

A beautiful hidden gem. Very comfortable stay in a museum-like amazing structure. Cool decor all around. The family who runs it is just super. Welcoming and warmth. Great breakfast a bonus. Don't pass it by. It feels like staying with family.

Lovely hotel with great service in a very convenient location in old town

Our entire stay can be summarized in one word: wow! We stayed for two nights at Casa El Edén and we did not want to leave. We arrived very late on our first night (after midnight) and were greeted by Mario who carried our bags up to our room. The room was absolutely stunning. The room was very large with an extremely comfortable bed. The bathroom was open to the bedroom/sitting area and had full sized toiletries, and the shower had perfect water temperature and pressure. Homemade breakfast was served each morning and was the highlight of our meals for the day. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the fruit was extremely fresh. Mario and Blanca were extremely friendly and went out of their way to make us feel like this was our home for our stay in Quito. My wife and I both enjoy running and Mario is an experienced runner. The first morning of our stay, Mario took us on an approximately 6 km running and walking tour of the Old City. It was incredible. We saw so many sites that we made a point to return to later that day, and Mario taught us so much about the City. It was a truly unforgettable experience. We will be staying at Casa El Edén whenever we return to Quito and will recommend Casa El Edén to all of our friends and family when they come to visit. If you are considering reserving a room here, do it. You will not be disappointed!

As other have said, Blanca and Mario made us feel like we were part of their family. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The patio on the rooftop was nice to relax in the evening. The location is perfect and walking distance to the main square and historic center attractions. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back. One thing to note is that there is no elevator, but this is typical for many hotels in the city center.
