Viejo Cuba is a unique, friendly, comfortable, immaculately clean hotel which is only 15 minutes from the airport and a great place from which to explore Quito or as a base before or after a Galapagos trip. They will store your bags and arrange anything you need. More

Very helpful staff. Good breakfast cooked to order.Only a couple of rooms I would not recommend, room 19, is close to their laundry... More

This was comfy and cozy. The staff was very friendly, but still allowed us the privacy that we wanted. Also, since our flight didn't leave until midnight, they allowed us to keep our luggage there until we had to leave for the airport, and we were able to use the internet as needed throughout the day. Definitely recommend! More

We spent a total of four nights in Quito, and to our regret, only one of them was at Vieja Cuba. It happened that the hotel we originally booked was not available for the one night, and Cuba was our fallback. The staff we efficient, professional, and welcoming. The food was great, the room was quaint and cozy (big enough... More

We stayed here before/after our Galapagos cruise and really loved the place! We arrived to find that our tour group had not secured an extra night for us as requested. The staff immediately arranged for a stay at a hotel just around the block and transported our luggage there. We were extremely happy that the error had been corrected and... More

This is a bargain hotel that is quite charming. The rooms are neat and clean. It is in a good location, and includes a basic breakfast. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They also have free internet! More

We arrived at around midnight after a less-than-seamless series of flights to Ecuador from Vermont. As soon as we arrived at the hotel we felt like we made the right choice. Friendly, helpful staff got us checked in, and then we went up to the room. Wow. Just wow. Such a beautiful space. Split level suite with a balcony, well... More

We stayed here with my family and we thought it was a pretty ordinary place, nothing very special at all. Small rooms, uncomfortable beds, shower that was poor, dark eating area, poor service from the girl at reception. Round her unhelpful. Positive things were the service from the girls who worked at the restaurant and their pleasant attitudes. More

After a few rough choices in accommodation, Vieja Cuba felt like a reward for good behavior. I arrived on the evening of Christmas Day, which meant it was already dark, already cold, and not a lot of places were open for food or anything else. This gorgeous converted house felt inviting, cosy, and safe. My tiny room made me feel... More

We were three people in the room... two adults and a teenager and did just fine with the size of the room. It had three twin beds, TV with cable, bottled water, small but adequate bathroom. (We disagree with previous posts that the beds were hard... we thought they were fine.) The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly and assisted... More
