Casa El Edén

Hotel

A very good hotel in the Centro Histórico with many thoughtful details. I have rarely met such friendly and helpful hotel owners (Mario and Blanca). We felt very comfortable 😍

Just visited Casa El Eden. It is a lovely hotel but the best part of the visit was our host and hostess Mario and Blanca. It felt like visiting family, so warm and inviting. The breakfast is wonderful, the building very quaint and their plants are amazing. You can’t go wrong staying here if you are ever in Quito.

The service was amazing. Mario was at the door welcoming us before we could turn the key!

I loved staying at the Casa El Eden! It was my first time in Quito and traveling alone and the hotel owner Mario was fantastic! Mario answered all my questions promptly and was helpful before I even landed in Quito! The hotel arranged a car to pick me up at the airport and bring me to the hotel. The car was clean and the driver was very professional and Mario greeted me at the door of the hotel when I arrived. The room was very spacious and clean with bottled water and nice shower amenities. The location was close to all the historical center which made walking to places easy. The breakfast was amazing and filing and the coffee great! I would highly recommend this hotel and stay there again. It really felt like staying with family! Thank you!

From the moment we studied until the moment we left our hosts Mario and Blanca took care of our every need from recommending walking tours to arranging a fabulous tour guide for our group, recommending restaurants and making reservations it surpassed our hopes and expectations by far. On top if that the hotel is fabulous, very clean, very large and comfortable food, and conveniently located. We highly recommend it and would come back in a heartbeat.

We were very impressed with EVERYTHING! Mario and the staff were wonderful hosts for our 4 day trip to Quito. The room was spacious and perfect. The service was top-notch! If you want a unique, historic hotel experience, this is your place!

We just spent two delightful nights at Casa El Eden. Our room was beautiful and very comfortably equipped, right down to the alpaca ponchos in the wardrobe for wearing when we sat on the rooftop patio in the evenings enjoying wine and the Quito skyline. The owners, Mario and Blanca, were extraordinarily accommodating and welcoming. They arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport upon our arrival and to take us to the airport when we reluctantly departed. Moreover, they prepared hearty and delicious breakfasts, took the time to help us plan our daily excursions, and even showed us the photos and told us the story of the building’s restoration. We would definitely return.

Lovely spot right in central historic district. The hosts are so kind and the hotel is gorgeous as a true historic home.

Mario and Blanca were the most amazing hosts of this beautiful old mansion converted into a 6 room boutique hotel. If you’re visiting Quito, staying at this place is a MUST!

We loved our stay at Casa El Eden. Mario and Blanca treated us and our children like family! They arranged tours to Otavalo and Mindo for us, arranged drivers and made dinner reservations. The hotel is beautiful and accommodating. We loved the rooftop! A wonderful experience overall.

Excellent place to stay, quiet and like home. Very good and friendly attention.

Stay here. Whatever you do in Quito, stay here. Magnificent restored mansion in the old town. Hosts were remarkable. Food incredible. Gorgeous rooms. I must go back!

My husband and I went to Ecuador for our honeymoon. We were in and out of Quito and each time we stayed in Quito we stayed at Casa El Eden. The B&B is beautiful, cozy, and the breakfasts are incredible. Mario and his wife are so sweet, so friendly, and so helpful. The are both so warm and welcoming and care about making each of their guests feel at home (and they love to help people practice their Spanish). At one point, we arrived back from Cotopaxi late at night, cold, and wet and they welcomed us in, found us a room, and served us to tea to warm us up. I cannot say enough about how great Casa El Eden was. If I am back in Ecuador, I would never consider staying anywhere else.

The most beautiful rooms, spotlessly clean, you want for nothing. Mario and Blanca will service your every need, they are truly the meaning of truly fine host and hostess. Close to the historical district (easy walking), so much to see and do. If you would like a superb vacation in a b&b with fabulous rooms and owners, you will not find better.
Thank you Mario and Blanca for a fabulous vacation. Gill and Don Car son.

Very nice restoration of a 125 yr old home. Centrally located. Terrific hosts.

I am currently writing this review while staying in Casa El Eden. This is hands down the most amazing boutique b&b I have ever stayed at. The place is breathtaking with so much discovered history by Mario and Blanca. They have transformed this colonial mansion into a beauty that is indescribable. This is a magical place and I could just stay here forever and be happy. Clean, safe and so friendly and helpful. Mario is just amazing and makes you feel like you are part of his family. He will help with just about everything from ordering you taxis, telling you about all the best places to eat and even cut up your fresh produce you bought at the market. He wants to pamper you and its so genuine! WOW WOW WOW! This is the only place I will ever stay at in Quito. Once you have the best its hard to go back. If you are questioning where to book don't, just book NOW!

Back from this lovely property just over a week ago. Three really enjoyable nights. Really lovely room in a quirky building full of character (as is the wonderful Mario! ). Great breakfasts. Edging the historic old town — don't be put off by the exterior of the building or the street it's on — it's a gem of a place. Only minor negative was a bit of traffic noise from about 0600 (but it's a busy city! ) Mario could not have been more helpful with arranging excursions, getting us taxis when required, and taking care of every need. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The location in the colonial Old town is great, just like the colonial house with the inner courtyard itself. The hosts are super friendly and very classy in handling. You feel comfortable and lifted. The rooms are inexpensive and huge with a big bed where you can sleep wonderfully. Wet cells large, clean and with running and well dosed hot water. Breakfast rich, with eggs, 2 juices and fresh buns. Wi-Fi available and fast… We will be back…

A gorgeous place with warm caring people. I had wonderful sleep and the most delicious breakfast. Gracias.

From the moment you enter home the Eden you transport to the beautiful colonial time of the city of Quito, the wonderful attention of its hosts make that you never want to leave your house.

My wife and I are in our mid thirties. We wanted a comfortable, upscale place with some local character. We stayed for two nights. Casa Eden was what we where looking for but at the same time surprised us by exceeding our expectations. The decoration and renovations show genuine character unique to Quito without trying too hard. The owners are so helpful and genuinely care that you have a good stay and good time in their city. They recommended an excellent guide named Carlos who also cared and was very knowledgeable. He took us to some great tourist spots like Cotopaxi Volcano which he had summited many times. He also took us to spots tourists don't usually get to see. Breakfast was simple but high quality. The location was ideal.

Casa El Eden (CEE) was WONDERFUL in every way. After booking, the CEE team easily arranged airport transfer upon request. Our flight got in late but the driver was waiting and pointed out different landmarks and Quito facts as we drove. When we arrived at CEE, owner Mario was there to greet us and show us to our room. The Spanish Colonial style B&B was cozy and beautiful with all floors looking down onto a central courtyard. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. The street noise was audible but not sleep-inhibiting. Breakfast was lovely with fresh bread and jam, cafe con leche, eggs cooked to your liking and fresh blended juice. We were always full when we left the table! Mario and his wife Blanca were friendly and helpful with recommendations on what to see and do around the city. Mario also helped us practice our Spanish, and we enjoyed chatting with him. The B&B itself is centrally located. We could walk 5 minutes to the museums and churches in Old Town. It was also a short cab ride or scooter ride to the other sites like the virgin of Quito, the botanic gardens, the Observatory and more. Speaking of scooters, Mario let us park ours inside the lobby for no additional charge as street parking was non-existent. If we wanted to relax, there is a nice rooftop lounge area with cerveza and a great view! Bottom line — we felt very at home, the owners are friendly and welcoming and the establishment itself is tasteful, quiet and clean.

This is a really nice hotel. The entry door does not look like much but once you're inside, wow! There's an inside courtyard that's really nice and the rooms are modern. Breakfast is included and amazing! They always have fresh fruit, make eggs the way you like it, and different types of bread. And the hosts are very accommodating with any special requests like asking for the breakfast to go. Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed at casa el Eden for our honeymoon and it was absolutely amazing. We arrived late Friday night and Mario greeted us with his bright smile. He arranged for airport transfers and a day tour of Otavalo market with Carlos (highly recommended! ). Every morning Mario y Blanca prepared us an amazing breakfast with eggs, fresh fruits, delicious breads, juices, coffee, etc. When we told them it was our honeymoon they brought us glasses of champagne with huge smiles. Our room was spacious and beautiful. The location is fantastic, on the same block as a pharmacy and around the corner from Plaza deal Teatro one of the main squares. It can be a little noises but we loved being close to everything in the old town. Mario made us dinner reservations and helped us with general questions. Don't miss the hidden rooftop terrace! We absolutely loved our trip and we feel like family! Muchas gracias Mario y Blanca! Besous!

The host Mario is very welcoming. The hotel is gorgeous and the rooms are very well done (clean and modern). A great introduction into Ecuador.
