庫查拉媽媽飯店(Mama Cuchara by Art Hotels)

This was our stopping place to and from the Galapagos and was the best place we stayed in on our trip. The reception was friendly and efficient, nothing was too much trouble. In our very lovely room there were various nibbles e.g. packets of crisps and food bars. Splendid Ecuadorian coffee was available in the room and hot water was brought up for tea. Delightful cakes were then brought to our room. This was replenished each day. The dining room was quite unique is style and beauty. The waiting staff were so polite and efficient and the food was excellent. There is also a rooftop bar which provided superb views of the City and the Virgin of Quito, a stunning 41 metre high statue. It is not situated in the best area so taxi is always recommended.

Belles chambres et bonne literie mais le problème est sa localisation à l’extrémité du quartier historique rien ne peut être fait à pieds en sortant Deuxième inconvénient les chambres donnent toute sur une patio relativement bruyant et pas de possibilité d aérée les chambres

En un sitio privilegiado por la vista a toda la ciudad, súper acogedor, con una hermosa decoración, recomendado completamente. El personal todos son amables, desde el guarda de afuera hasta el gerente

We loved the Mama Cuchara. The decor was lovely, elegant, and tasteful. Everything was spotlessly clean. Every member of the staff was friendly and accommodating. If I were to return to Quito, I wouldn't even bother to look for another place to stay. I'd book the Mama Cuchara.

Stayed for 4 nights on a tour of Ecuador. Staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast including local specialties, basket of locally produced snacks provided in room. Had one evening meal there which was delicious, about 55 USD for two of us. If you’re travelling to the Amazon and returning to Quito for a further night they are happy to store your luggage for you. Would recommend.

Mooi hotel met roof top bar. Zeer goede en vooral persoonlijke service, schoon, personeel dat pro actief meedenkt en het de gasten enorm naar de zin wil maken. Aan de rand van het historisch centrum. Absolute aanrader!

We stayed at this lovely hotel for 3 nights and were absolutely delighted with everything. The hotel itself is beautiful; very clean & well kept, nice furnishings, gorgeous art everywhere from stunning sculptures to gorgeous stained glass windows to beautiful paintings. The rooms are beautifully appointed and very comfortable. The Wifi works well. The staff is extremely helpful and pleasant with every attention to detail and to customer satisfaction. The restaurant serves excellent food creatively curated and plated. The rooftop bar has incredible views and great snacks. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

What a dinner we had here! This place is not only beautiful, the food is excellent and the service top notch. I would def eat here again. There are so many things to try and each dish is beautifully presented.

We have just stayed at this wonderful hotel. Overall we spent four nights there between visits to The Galapagos and the Rio Napo. Staying there was a true pleasure - the perfect home base in a foreign city. 1) The staff are all smiling, friendly, efficient and very professional - the management should be proud of them, from the doorman and receptionists to the waiting staff, barmen and housekeeping. On arrival we were welcomed with a refreshing face towel and a drink. 2) The catering is tasty, attractive and imaginative - every dish has a local twist, whilst presented in a modern style. The Lacro de Papas is a meal in itself and the Ceviche is the fresh taste of Ecuador in a bowl. Breakfast is a never-ending selection of prepared fruit, homemade breads, grains, plus a cooked to order breakfast of everything you can think of and more. Eat in the hotel’s airy central courtyard/plaza or on the roof terrace with amazing views over Quito. 3) The bedrooms are very comfortable - excellent mattress. Everything you could need. Being English we missed not having a kettle for making our morning tea, but there was a good coffee machine. Every evening there was a tasty amuse-bouche waiting for us in the room to welcome us home. 4) The general ambience is fresh and clean. Old-fashioned whilst totally contemporary. The sculpture and artwork throughout the hotel is quirky and idiosyncratic. 5) The location is a short walk (10 - 15 mins) down the Rocafuerte and through the Plaza de Santo Domingo to the Old Town. The area feels very safe. It's a 30 to 45 minute taxi ride from the airport, but traffic can be heavy at peak times. The only sad part of our visit was the number of unnecessary cancellations all the hoteliers had suffered due to the problems of unrest elsewhere in Ecuador - we were totally unaffected by the political situation. Visit Ecuador, it is safe and so welcoming.
