The location is pretty much in the centre of the old city, or a couple of blocks away from it. There is a roof they pull over it if it rains (frequent afternoon occurrence in October) so it’s a great place to while away an evening. It’s a really interesting building and the courtyard area is lovely with chairs and tables to relax at. At the Hotel San Francisco wifi was best in the courtyard, which is the highlight of the hotel which is in an historic building. Wifi was an issue, and in Ecuador getting decent wifi can be a bit of challenge. The bathroom was a decent size this time, an unlike the other two rooms, I could actually receive a wifi signal in the room. The third room, a double on the return to the city, was the best of the three. This room opened onto the courtyard, whilst the single was around a corner on the same level. It had two levels, the first with just a bathroom and entrance area, an even smaller bathroom (this time for a triple!) and then this narrow spiral staircase to the three single beds. It was a corner room on the first floor and was very strange. The second room was a triple with three single beds. My single was pretty small, but it was nice. Honestly, the three rooms couldn’t be more different. So what were my impressions of this place? Well firstly I’ll talk rooms. The website has a single listed as $38US plus taxes, so that probably works out to be about right. I paid around $55 Australian for each of the two nights. I also stayed an extra two days before the tour commenced, so over three nights I ended up staying in three rooms. I stayed there principally because it was the hotel used by my Intrepid tour to Galapagos which included a night at both the start and end of the tour in Quito. I stayed at the Hotel San Francisco (de Quito) in early October.
