Best Hotels With Bike Rental In Quito
8 family-friendly hotels with bike rental in Quito . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Eight family hotels in Quito offer bike hire, a genuinely useful amenity in a city whose ciclopaseo network closes several main avenues to cars every Sunday morning for cycling. Hotel Casa Ecuatreasures Centro Historico and Ilatoa Lodge both list bike hire alongside their central or garden settings, while La Casona de la Ronda combines it with a colonial building 150 metres from Santo Domingo bus station. Families should know upfront that Quito's altitude and hilly old-town streets make casual cycling with young kids more demanding than in a flat city, so bike rental here suits confident older kids and teens more than toddlers on training wheels.
Quito's relationship with cycling is more organised than its steep streets might suggest: the city closes major avenues every Sunday from early morning for the ciclopaseo, one of the longest-running programmes of its kind in South America, drawing thousands of local families onto bikes. Outside of Sunday mornings, cycling in the old town's narrow colonial streets requires more caution, with steep grades and uneven cobblestones that catch out anyone unused to Andean cities.

🚲Why Quito is Great for Hotels with Bike Rental
Reaching the ciclopaseo route matters more than the bike hire itself for most families planning around it. Friends Hotel and Rooftop and Hotel Casa Ecuatreasures Centro Historico both sit in the historic centre within easy reach of the route on Sunday mornings, meaning a family can walk their rented bikes to the start rather than loading them into a taxi. Hotel Carolina Montecarlo's location in La Mariscal, six blocks from Plaza Foch, puts riders close to a different stretch of closed streets on the city's north side. Ilatoa Lodge, further from downtown at 18 kilometres from the airport, suits families more interested in quiet garden cycling around the lodge grounds than joining the crowded ciclopaseo route each Sunday.
Age matters a lot for bike rental in Quito given the altitude and the hills that define the old town's layout. Confident older kids and teens get the most from the eight properties here, particularly Apricot Hotel, which pairs bike hire with a games room and pool for a full activity day that does not depend on the weather holding. Younger children are generally better served treating bike rental as a Sunday-morning-only activity on the flat, closed ciclopaseo route rather than everyday cycling around the hilly old town, where even fit adults find the steep grades tiring at nearly 2,850 metres of altitude.
Price for bike-rental hotels in Quito spans from Hotel Carolina Montecarlo around 65 euros to Ilatoa Lodge near 168 euros a night, with most falling in a comfortable 70 to 120 euro range that includes Chakana Hotel Boutique Centro and Hotel Boutique Cultura Manor by Brater. None of the eight properties list bike hire pricing publicly on their booking pages, so families should confirm directly with the front desk whether it is included in the room rate or charged as a separate add-on before assuming a free Sunday ride is automatically part of the stay.

Why families love Hotel Casa Ecuatreasures Centro Historico
This hotel works well for families who want central-Quito access without a resort-scale property, since the sun terrace and outdoor seating give kids somewhere to decompress after museum visits nearby. The bike hire option through the tour desk is a genuine plus for families interested in Sunday cycling on the ciclopaseo route, and the vegetarian breakfast options help with picky or restricted eaters at the table.
Wonderful

Why families love Hotel Boutique Cultura Manor by Brater
Families who value quiet over convenience will appreciate the soundproofing in every room here, a detail few of Quito's other family hotels mention explicitly, useful for protecting nap time in a busy travel schedule. The combination of spa access, yoga and bike hire under one pet-friendly roof makes this a strong all-round pick for a family wanting more than just a place to sleep.
Ilatoa Lodge
Quito
Wonderful
Ilatoa Lodge is the only Quito hotel with an actual kids' club, paired with a garden playground and outdoor play area roughly 18 kilometres from Mariscal Sucre airport. Family rooms include private bathrooms, balconies and garden or mountain views, plus a work desk and free toiletries. The lodge also lists spa access and bike hire, and breakfast covers continental, American and gluten-free options with local specialities.
From
€168/night
Why families love Ilatoa Lodge
Families prioritising structured childcare over old-town proximity will find no better match in Quito than this lodge, since the kids' club and playground combination does not exist anywhere else in the city. The 18-kilometre distance from central Quito means daily sightseeing requires a taxi or rental car, a real trade-off for families who plan to spend most days exploring the historic centre on foot instead.
Wonderful
La Casona de la Ronda Hotel Boutique occupies a colonial house built in 1738 in Quito's historic centre, 150 metres from Santo Domingo Bus Station. Rooms have free WiFi, plasma TVs and stylish wooden furnishing with parquet floors, some with seating areas and city views. An American buffet breakfast is included, and the property offers bike hire, a tour desk and airport shuttle arrangements 14 kilometres from Mariscal Sucre.
From
€167/night
Why families love La Casona de la Ronda Hotel Boutique
Staying in an eighteenth-century colonial building gives this trip a sense of place that a modern hotel simply cannot replicate, and older kids interested in history tend to notice the architecture in a way younger ones may not. The central location, steps from Santo Domingo, means daily old-town walks are easy, and the included bike hire suits families planning a Sunday ciclopaseo ride.
Wonderful
Friends Hotel and Rooftop occupies a historic building near Bolivar Theatre and the Colonial Art Museum, 39 kilometres from Mariscal Sucre airport. Rooms have private bathrooms with free toiletries, parquet floors and, in some cases, balconies with mountain views and kitchenettes. The property offers a sun terrace, free WiFi, bike hire and private check-in, with breakfast including vegetarian and vegan options daily.
From
€119/night
Why families love Friends Hotel & Rooftop - Historic Center & Museums
The rooftop terrace and historic setting give this hotel more character than a standard family box, appealing to older kids and teens who notice atmosphere as much as amenities. Its location near two major museums makes it a practical base for a family focused on culture and history, and the bike hire option opens up the Sunday ciclopaseo route without needing to travel far first.
Apricot Hotel
Quito
Wonderful
Apricot Hotel is seven kilometres from Mariscal Sucre airport, with family rooms featuring private bathrooms, garden views and a minibar. The property has a pool with a view, an outdoor fireplace and a games room, plus bike hire and free on-site private parking. The family-friendly restaurant serves local, international and Latin American food, and the bar offers cocktails for parents once the kids are settled.

€52/night
Why families love Apricot Hotel
This hotel packs an unusual amount of activity variety for its price point: a pool, games room, outdoor fireplace and bike hire all sit under one roof, giving families several ways to fill an afternoon without leaving the property. The seven-kilometre distance from the airport keeps transfers short, and the free parking makes a rental car for day trips to Otavalo or Mitad del Mundo an easy add-on.
Wonderful
Chakana Hotel Boutique Centro sits 34 kilometres from Mariscal Sucre airport, near Sucre Theatre and the Colonial Art Museum. Family rooms come with private bathrooms, balconies and garden or city views, plus free toiletries and a TV. The family-friendly restaurant serves American, international and Latin American cuisine, and the property offers pet-friendly rooms, bike hire, a 24-hour front desk and yoga classes for parents needing a reset.
From
€93/night
Why families love Chakana Hotel Boutique Centro
This boutique property covers a lot of ground for families: pet-friendly rooms, bike hire and a family restaurant all under one roof, near enough to the historic centre's theatres and museums to walk most days. The yoga classes are a genuine bonus for a parent who wants a proper stretch after a day spent climbing colonial staircases, something few other family hotels in the city offer directly on site.
Wonderful
Hotel Carolina Montecarlo sits in La Mariscal, six blocks from Plaza Foch, blending colonial and modern architecture. Rooms include a 32-inch flat-screen TV, free WiFi and a safe, while executive suites add a 55-inch smart TV with streaming access and a full kitchen. The hotel offers free private parking, a gym, conference room and bar, with buffet breakfast served each morning.
From
€65/night
Why families love Hotel Carolina Montecarlo
Families wanting nightlife-adjacent convenience without staying inside the loudest part of La Mariscal will find this hotel a reasonable middle ground, six blocks from Plaza Foch rather than directly on it. The executive suites' full kitchen and larger smart TV suit a family settling in for a longer stay, and the free parking and gym cover the practical bases for a car-based Quito trip.
💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Bike Rental in Quito
- 1Save bike rental for Sunday mornings when the ciclopaseo closes major avenues to traffic; cycling the hilly old town on other days is far more demanding, even for confident kids.
- 2Choose a historic-centre hotel like Friends Hotel and Rooftop if joining the ciclopaseo matters; it puts the closed-street route within easy reach without a long ride just to start.
- 3Confirm bike hire pricing directly with the hotel before arrival; none of the eight properties publish rental costs, and assuming it is free could be an unwelcome surprise.
- 4Pack sunscreen even for an early ride; Quito's equatorial sun is strong by mid-morning despite the cool air, and altitude increases UV exposure more than most parents expect.
- 5Consider Ilatoa Lodge for younger kids who want to cycle without traffic at all; its garden grounds offer flatter, quieter riding than the old town's steep cobblestone streets.
