Nu House Boutique Hotel, Quito

We stayed 6 days in the Nu house hotel. We loved the small boutique hotel, with large nice rooms and excellent service! The hotel is located in the very center of the night life district, with plenty of life, restaurants , bars, and discos. The hotel is excellent except from the excessive noise at nights and as in our case during a festival with the loudspeakers just in front of the hotel. During two days we waited after midnight to sleep!

Not bad for what it cost us through Agoda. It's certainly not worth whatever the full asking price is, but then again few hotels are. Make sure to get a room in the quiet tower (el torre silencioso is how the staff refer to it) if at all possible or else you'll be hearing irritating techno music all night. Nu House is new and modern with nice big screen cable TVs and is near the action in the tourist ghetto Mariscal neighborhood. It's also within walking distance (if you're fairly fit) of the old-town and many of Quito's sights. Not bad for what it cost us, though as we arrived at 8 PM we were stuck in one of the loud rooms for the first night. Breakfast was something of a joke for vegetarians, unless you like bread and jam or nasty fried plantain with campesino cheese concoctions... For carnivores they also offered little cocktail sausages and meat balls. The first morning we were there they had mozzarella sticks, but they never brought them out again. Overall, it's not bad for the price, but I wouldn't pay more than that. You'd be better off renting a nice short-term apartment if you have $100+ a night to spend in Quito. No matter where you stay in Latin America though, you'll have to be prepared for illogical behavior and extremely cavalier attitudes regarding just about everything. It's one of the pros and cons of life in this part of the world...

We had a pleasant stay at the Nu House hotel. An excellent hotel for the money and the best choice in Quito (comparing to the big hotels like the Hilton). Very nicely located next to plaza Foch.

Very nice design hotel on the edge of the Foch Plaza. The rooms are light, spacious and clean and the personnel is very friendly and speaks good English. The hotel has their own taxi service to bring you to any place in Quito for a small amount of money. Breakfast is small but good. We had a very noisy room from the club/bar below and the beds were very hard. An excellent stay at this hotel for a very reasonable price comparing to the other hotels in Quito. We definitely recommend this hotel.

Overall, I would recommend the Nu House Boutique Hotel to younger people traveling to Quito. The nightlife in the Mariscal area is great and the location can't be beat. The rooms are all very chic and they have definitely thought out a lot of the little comforts (free tea in the lobby, bedsheet turn down service with a chocolate, a comfortable bath robe, etc.). If you are a business traveler, you may want to think about staying in a quieter place, but at the same time Quito's downtown is fairly small and a $3 taxi will get you pretty much anywhere in the city! A good independent hotel and a great value!

The Nu House Hotel in Quito is a great new hotel in the center of Quito.A boutique hotel with all the over the top ammenities like bathrobes,chocolates on your pillow at night.Had a great stay here also because of the proximity to all the nightlife and restaurants.The hotel can get a little noisy late at night with all the local bars letting out at 2-3 in the morning.The receptonist at check in was kind enough to inform me of this and I had a great room on the 4th floor with excellent views.I will be back on my next trip to Quito.
