I’m Gabriela Gómez, and it will be a pleasure to welcome you to our hostel, located in a lovingly restored colonial house. For me, hospitality means creating a space where every traveler feels comfortable, safe, and truly at home. I love sharing recommendations about the area, as we are surrounded by cafés, theaters, cinemas, restaurants, and cultural spots that reflect the essence of our neighborhood. I’m always available to help you with tips on what to visit, where to eat, or how to make the most of your stay. More than just a place to sleep, we want your experience to be unforgettable and full of authentic moments.

La Casona was for many years a traditional hostel in La Floresta. Today, we have completely restored this beautiful heritage house. On the ground floor, you'll find the charming café Pite Dulce, and on the second floor, we offer premium rooms through Booking, designed to provide you with a comfortable, peaceful, and authentic experience.

La Floresta is one of the most charming and authentic neighborhoods in Quito, considered the bohemian and cultural heart of the city. Its tree-lined streets and heritage houses blend with urban art murals, cozy cafés, signature restaurants, and design shops that invite you to enjoy unique experiences. The neighborhood is also home to the famous independent cinema Ocho y Medio, art galleries, and local markets that showcase Quito’s creative spirit. Staying in La Floresta means discovering a safe, welcoming, and character-filled place — perfect for exploring on foot and experiencing the most authentic side of Quito. Beyond its vibrant atmosphere, the neighborhood boasts a privileged location: just minutes from the Historic Center (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the modern La Carolina Park, and commercial areas like La Mariscal and República del Salvador. La Floresta brings together the best of the old and the new, offering travelers a unique experience that combines culture, gastronomy, and local life. Here, you can enjoy the peace of a residential neighborhood along with the city’s creative energy.
