This Hotel is a great arrival and sightseeing base for Quito and Ecuador in general. I would recommend staying on the executive floors if you like drinks and snacks. The Hotel picks you up at the airport (we didn't know they did that until we saw our name on a sign). It has a very very helpful staff, with resources like maps, rental car arrangements etc. Take plenty of 1$ and 5$ bills with you for tips as ATM's give out only 20$. We rented a car from Simon rental, they brought the car to the hotel, and picked up, no problems.
There is a small market across the street from the hotel on weekends where you will meet the shoe shine boys....no worries.
We stayed twice at this hotel, and could not recommend it higher for a stay in Quito.

The Hilton Colon Quito is by Far the Best Hotel in the city.

Fantastic Location...with spectacular views!

The Staff really cares about your comfort

Thank you for a memorable stay

It was a pleasure to stay at the hotel. The rooms were really nice, the staff were friendly, helpful, and spoke English, and a solo traveller can feel reasonably secure. The location was also a plus, right across from a lovely park with weekend craft markets as well as close to the theatre and museum. I would definetely stay here again.

The hotel was standard Hilton, large room, a bit soulless but adequate and a very good breakfast on the Executive floor. It was also a good deal cheaper than the Swissotel in Quito where we stayed on an earlier part of the trip. However, what completely spoiled the stay was extremely rude and unprofessional reception staff on the Executive floor with bad attitude and who were hostile, unfriendly and arrogant. On that basis, I would never stay at this hotel again nor recommend it to others. I will be writing to the manager of the hotel and the Hilton Group to raise my objections about the treatment we received which was completely unacceptable especially to a Hilton VIP cardholder.
