Kinde House — Hotel in Centro Histórico

Kinde house is a hidden gem. It is a must stay if/when you are in Quito. The Kinde House is a perfect place to stay in Quito while you explore this beautiful city. It is in an excellent neighborhood location. Easy walking access to the historical center, metro, parks, and good local restaurants . The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean. After returning from the Galapagos I stayed 2 nights before traveling to the Amazon jungle area. I let the Kinde house know I did not need the sheets change but they are so conscience they cleaned the sheets, and the rest of the room anyway. I was also able to leave any luggage I did not need in the Amazon right on my room. Eduardo will get you checked in, settled, and provides engaging conversation and promptly responses to any questions you may have about your Quito stay or any other places in the country. He was born and raised in Quito and knows the city and local surroundings well. His guidance is great. The breakfast is superb and includes tea/coffee, fresh fruit, fresh fruit juice, breads, and eggs cooked to order. There is a roof top deck with an incredible view of the city. A view not to be missed. They also offer laundry service for a very reasonable price. If I have the fortune to be back in Quito, this will be my go-to place to stay. On this trip, I stayed a total of 11(non-consecutive) days. Each time I returned to Quito it was like coming home when I arrived at Kinde house. Treat yourself and make this your...

It was in walking distance to the Hop-on-Hop-off bus stop, near a travel agency and fruit & vegetable market as well as a few small restaurants. Daily breakfasts prepared and served by the lovely owner, Monserrate, were delicious and very generous. Eduardo her son suggested I have my evening meal at Cafe San Blas, 3 blocks away. Being 81 years old and travelling solo, I was a bit nervous about walking back alone to the B&B at night. Eduardo was prepared to collect me at the end of my meal but I felt quite safe. I appreciated this kind gesture. I hope to return to Kinde House one day and to Cafe San Blas where delicious meals were...

We stayed two nights at Kinde House and it was great. Edouard quickly replied to any questions and was eager to help us to enjoy our stay in Quito. The breakfasts were delicious and set us up for a full day of exploring. The room was very quiet and comfortable. We like to walk so the location was perfect. It was about 15-20minutes to the Plaza de La Independencia. At the end of the block, numerous fruit and vegetable vendors set up each day and we could buy whatever we wanted. Access to the kitchenette and rooftop terrace made this even more appealing. And we learned that kinde is Quichua for hummingbird since there are two that serenade you when on...
