Hotel El Crater

Neat stay with great views

Everything is amazing about El Crater. We stayed in the Pululahua Suite. We had a beautiful view of the crater from the back of the room and the garden from the front. The staff is attentive and on point. No detail was missed. The food was exceptional, & the staff always made sure we had our dinner before closing the kitchen on their slow nights. The spa is beautiful. Excellent massage! The nature reserve is within walking distance, & worth it. There's also the Templo del Sol right around the corner. Highly recommend!

We stayed here when we arrived in Ecuador and found it a real oasis in a very busy city. Rooms are huge (but could have used more storage space) and you feel very isolated from the noise of the city. The middle of the world is only a few minutes in a taxi and there is a good spa and restaurant too. Walls are a bit thin and we were kept awake one night by some rude guests downstairs but they left the next day. Not cheap but other than that no complaints

Excellent views and location. It’s not far from a main road and within walking distance of a nice overlook. We booked the anniversary package and stayed in a room on the top floor. The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom is a little outdated but hot water and good pressure. They also had small space heaters if desired at night. Staff was pleasant. Dining staff was attentive. Breakfast was average.

The hotel resides in one of the most beautiful places I have ever experienced. The grounds are immaculately maintained, tge architecture is gorgeous, the spaces uncrowded and relaxed. Places like this only exist in fairy tales. The staff is friendly and efficient, the rooms large, well-appointed, and comfortable. The on-site restaurant is very good too. I hope to spend another vacation there.

Shout out to OMAR! He was incredible. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. We visited the restaurant for dinner and my husband felt in love with the potato soup. During breakfast we had a cute llama spy on us also keep us entertained. We had a great experience overall.

My spouse and I spent 3 nights at this mountain resort in Feb 2023. It was the ideal place for some much needed R&R. The views are spectacular, the rooms are spacious, the atmosphere is very serene, the spa is amazing (had the best hot stone massage there) and the service at the entire hotel is EXCELLENT! Special mention to Omar who is the heart beat of the resort … he takes care of everything that you can possibly need and more. Thank you for making our stay so memorable PS: The wifi works great !

This is an amazing hotel and restaurant. The service was prompt and personal. Omar made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. The views from the room and just about everywhere else on the property were phenomenal. The upper floors have views of both the volcano's crater and Quito. Waking up and seeing the view of the crater from your bed is an incredible experience. The restaurant had an extensive dinner menu and the food was delicious. I wish we could have stayed longer to try the rest of the menu. We would highly recommend this hotel and restaurant and hope to return soon.

This property and its surroundings offer the ultimate spa and natural landscape that are truly inspirational.

The rooms are very spacious, gorgeous views from the rooms, and it is a very family-friendly hotel. The staff were so kind and responsive to any question or request and very knowledgeable regarding activities in the area. The food was delicious and a nice balance of Ecuadorian and European/North American food. We highly recommend El Crater during your visit to Ecuador!
