I enjoyed every moment of my stay at the El Crater Hotel. If you are looking for a nice quiet get away, the El Crater is an excellent choice. The views from the deluxe suite were breath taking. The staff was very accommodating. It was well worth the price we paid for the hotel to pick us up from the... More

This hotel is far from the city and even further from the airport, so make sure you understand the costs of getting to and from both as it is not inexpensive. Having said that, the place is awesome, food is excellent, and the staff extremely helpful. We walked to equator monument from the hotel and took a bus back at... More

I stayed at El Crater with friends for a night in March 2013. We wish that we could have stayed longer! We all agreed that it was a great experience. All the staff members that we met were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and the view is incredible. It is a very peaceful location and a great... More

I have stayed at El Crater in January 2013 (2 nights). The views from both sides of the room are truly unbelievable. In the mornings 2 llamas are brought to graze, which for me is a bonus. Roberto the manager was very friendly, competent and really helpful when I need it most. On my second night there, I became sick... More

So, the descriptions on TripAdvisor were accurate. The small hotel (8-10 rooms) sits on the edge of a long-extinct volcano about 75 minutes north of Quito's Old Town. It's peaceful, safe and VERY quiet. The clouds seem to roll in and then roll out continually. One day, we walked to the hotel restaurant and it was sunny, with stunning views... More

This is an elegant and beautifully appointed hotel strategically perched on top of a spectacular blown out volcanic crater. The rooms are situated so that you have a view of the crater on one side and the valley on the other. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and it is obvious an artist was involved in the design process. Everywhere is... More

We arrived with a heavy fog and a warm welcome. Rooms were very large, clean, big picture windows with stunning views, comfortable bed and bathroom. Dinner and breakfast were good. The owner pays friendly attention to his customers. The staff were friendly especially Christian. Hotel arranged transfer to Quito with a lady driver who was a well known painter. The... More

I would have given this place higher ratings but Trip advisor only goes to 5! This hotel is located a half hour North of Quito on the rim of a volcano. If it is good enough for the Presidents of Ecuador,, Chile, and Columbia, Gloria Estefan, and Miss Universe it is good enough for us. None of Quito's noise and... More
