Kinde House

We visited Kinde House in mid April - not high season but a great time to be in Quito. Location: It's in a "safe" part of Old Town with well-lit streets, only a half-block away from the Community Hostel (which you want to visit as soon as you arrive for free walking tours and other reasons). Eduardo showed us on the map what streets to avoid at night and what streets were safe. My wife and I had a nice time walking past local families and kids playing in the street to the local Italian restaurants. Staff: It's a family-run business and they're all very attentive, friendly, and efficient. Facilities: free internet, bottled water (to fill your own bottle), community kitchen, comfy firm beds. Breakfast: These were truly special! Looking back on my 18 days in South America I'd have to say these were the best three breakfasts I had. We stayed three nights and each b'fast was different (and wonderful)!

These people are beyond amazing. I read reviews before me and they were superb to the max. They made sure I was okay the entire time I was there before and after my tours. I got picked up and dropped off by arranging services through them safely. Breakfast was made fresh and new everyday. Water and coffee available 24 /7 . Room was cleaned everyday. I felt super secure about leaving my stuff in the room. I also felt safe where I was staying and there are literally corner stores everywhere to buy snacks and drinks. It was in a quiet area and you can walk to the central area of town within 10 minutes. What made them extra special is that i left my coat in the room and they manage to mail it to my next hotel in Gyuaquil within 2 days! Thank you for showing me such nice hospitality.

Room was clean and comfortable. I can't say enough about how helpful the owners were. They foresaw our needs and made arrangements for taxis, activities and comforts. Great place!

The whole family is very helpful and friendly, and can arrange rides to the airport, take care of laundry (for a small fee), and accommodate dietary requests for breakfast. The hotel is quiet. We would stay there again.

Estuvimos hospedados tres días los cuales fueron de lo mejor, la comodidad, limpieza y sobre todo la atención, fue como estar en casa, el desayuno es una exquisitez, muy cerca del centro, sumamente recomendado.
