This is a wonderful location for peace and also ease of accessibility to Quito. Scenery is breathtaking. Food and service at restaurant are excellent. The rooms are clean, spacious and have wonderful views both of the city and the volcano crater. The staff could not be more helpful and polite. I cannot wait to visit again. Visiting the Quito area I cannot imagine staying anywhere else.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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 !

4/10 Fair

We asked for the room on the upper floor when booking and they gave us the one below, the bathroom was outdated and had water problems, the king bed was two and a half square beds pushed together, and the mattress was worn out and very hard. Excessively expensive prices for what they offer, translucent curtain where you could see a lot from the outside, little privacy.

6/10 Good

El hotel tiene una vista y una tranquilidad inmejorables, pero también varios problemas. Si bien las habitaciones son de estilo rústico, comienzan a necesitar remodelación, especialmente los baños. En el caso particular de mi habitación, había un olor a tubería que no era inmanejable, pero llama la atención en un hotel de este precio. En cuanto al personal, es amable y servicial, otro de los grandes puntos positivos del hotel. Más allá de esto, el gran “pero” de este hotel es el restaurante. La comida es cara, algo normal en una zona turística, pero el problema es el sabor. El primer día pedí una corvina que estaba seca y un risotto de quinoa bastante deficiente. El ceviche Jipijapa no pasa de aceptable. En la cena, un pollo a la parrilla que parecía más bien frito y de un sabor soso y apagado, como sacado de un hospital. Lo peor fue la “orden de empanadas de verde”, que en realidad son cuatro mini empanadas congeladas que casi no tienen queso y cuestan 8 USD. Creo que por 123 dólares la noche, definitivamente hay mejores opciones.
