Casa Agua Canela - Adults Only

My 5th time staying here. Always excellent

I enjoyed my one night at this hotel. The people who picked me up at the airport were wonderful--it was like being picked up by longtime friends. Their English was much better than my Spanish so communication was fine. Check in was easy, and they showed me how to use the keys, what was offered in the kitchen, and talked about the local area. I was greeted in the morning with a cup of tea, and she made sure I had advice on what to do with my day, how to find things, and how to get back into the hotel with the key. But when I returned later there was no staff, or other guests either, and I was alone in a dark building. I am sure when it is busy season the place is busy with people, because the shared kitchen (the biggest reason I booked this hotel) seems to be well used. Hot water was nonexistent ....not sure if I was doing something wrong or not because there was nobody there to ask in the evening. I am not sure if I would stay there again because of the lack of hot water, but the people were nice, the kitchen was great, and the area was safe and nice. There is an easy little shop across the street that was open later than every other shop on a Sunday. I did take a taxi to and from the old town because it was raining-- was less than $6 USD each way, but it was a bit far to walk even without the rain. When I booked I thought I could walk to and from the old town, but there is also a trolley station very close by.

Our room with en-suite shower room was on the ground floor. Everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen, which is available for use, was adequately equipped and clean. David and his mother are incredibly helpful and friendly, and can arrange airport transfers at a discount to the standard price. The WiFi signal was strong and as quick as we have found in South America. There is some neighborhood noise unfortunately, namely dogs, so light sleepers might want to take precautions (e.g. earplugs). If I revisit Quito, I would be very happy to stay at Casa Agua Camela again, although I would be sure to bring earplugs next time.

We unfortunately only stay one night in this beautiful converted house. David was amazing, very welcoming and reall helpful. The room was big and comfortable, there were great hang out spots and good kitchen. We would definately recommend staying here as it was one of our favourite city stays so far.

El lugar es céntrico y cerca para visitar el centro histórico de Quito; es una casa bonita, limpia y acogedora. Las personas que administran son muy amables y hospitalarias, fue una bendición llegar a su casa, porque primera vez que conocemos Quito-Ecuador. Recomendamos 100 % este hospedaje. No se arrepentirán.

David est un super hôte ! Il est très gentil et a répondu à toutes mes questions. Eau potable accessible gratuitement en plus de cuisine commune bien équipée. Chambre confortable et propre. Petit désavantage est l'eau froide dans la douche ! Je recommande pour un séjour à Quito !
