The Folklore Hotel is located in a pretty former colonial home which has been converted into a hotel. I spent three nights there on a recent rip to Quito and was thoroughly satisfied with the hotel and the service I received. Bernardo, the owner, always went out of his way for me and made several helpful recommendations on places I... More

This place is "run" by the owner and his family who live on the premises. It is a firetrap first of all and looks as if it could be a disaster waiting to happen. I stayed there when I arrived in Quito for two nights unfortunately and left my bag there while away for a week. Owner is verbally abusive,... More

I thoroughly did NOT enjoy my stay here. I recently started working (after being a longtime member) with the South American Explorer's Club assisting their Quito Clubhouse and I was going to stay here in exchange for advertising with the Club. The owner accused me of losing my own cell phone (after I searched all over the entire place for... More

Very... More

We spent three different nights here and it was good value; good price, clean, hot water, friendly staff. Helped us with a few issues we had as well.

I am currently writing this review at 1:00 in the morning from another hotel in Quito, after being completely abandoned by Folklore Hotel tonight. I had a confirmed reservation prior to arrival, with an expected airport pickup also confirmed. Unfortunately my flight from the US was delayed by a little over an hour, which I emailed twice to the hotel... More

I travel throughout the world on a continual basis and when I’m in Quito the Folklore is my spot. I have stayed here twice, the first time being in 2009, and in total have probably spent 10-15 nights there. It’s well situated in the north of Quito near La Mariscal and 12 de Octubre avenue. It’s well worth the price... More

Nice people, good service and in one of the safest neighbourhoods of Quito.
