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

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.

My experience at El Crater was like none other. Where do I start??? From the unique location overlooking the crater, to the beautiful views, the spacious rooms with giant picture windows, lovely food and service at the onsite restaurant, to the most amazing spa I have ever been too (which was why I went to El Crater in the first place) - my 3 night stay here did not disappoint! It was beautiful, tranquil, and just what I needed for a lovely respite. During the day I went to Mitad Del Mundo and nearby Puluahua hiking and viewpoint. Also I spent an amazing afternoon / evening at the spa. The ambiance and decor alone will convince you that you are in for an amazing treat the second you step through the door. Tranquility and harmony are supreme. I had the best massage of my life from Santi - I couldn’t believe the healing blend of techniques, oils, and energy he used. Phenomenal experience. Don’t wait plan your vacation around this spa and hotel! Highly recommend!

We stayed at this little gem due to unforeseen circumstances as the road to our original destination was blocked and we couldn’t pass. We booked El Crater Hotel and found this to be a little paradise that is well worth an intentional visit. The setting was stunning on top of a dormant volcano with stunning views onto the crater and The Valley. The rooms were so spacious and vary by view. Food was ok, they had an extensive menu but a bit on the pricey side given the lack of hotel options in that area. But well worth a stay - make sure you go for a morning walk at sunrise - the views are stunning!

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.
