Awesome hotel Mama Cuchara!
Pros:

Excellent service! They run out to get your luggage, explain the amenities at the hotel, and show you to your room and the room’s features.
Very clean!
Very reasonably priced which included a bouquet of flowers, lots of snacks, a bottle of water, and a bottle of wine in our room.
Hotel restaurant is almost as good as some expensive restaurants in large USA cities, but reasonably priced. The food and drink choices were plentiful and delicious.

The staff was very gracious, courteous and helpful. The rooms were very spacious and beautiful
Pros:

The breakfast had a wide variety of items and good tasting coffee. The dinner upstairs was good, however couple of the dishes were a bit salty for my taste. They also ran out of the yellow fin tuna, which was one of the highlights of the menu.

Cons:

Like I stated earlier, some of the dishes were a bit salty for my taste. When I ordered the scrambled eggs without any salt, the dish came out perfect!
The music in the courtyard restaurant was a bit too loud, but they did turn off the music at a reasonable time.

Disappointing
Pros:

Joanna at the front was incredible. Helping with every aspect of our trip. One of our party had a problem with luggage that didn’t make the connection and we spent our day replacing clothes, medication,etc. she helped with every aspect. Can’t say enough good things about her. This is our second stay in an art hotel. Top notch experience in both Quito and Otavalo.

Beautiful hotel with exemplary service.
Pros:

A beautiful hotel which is on the edge of Old Town.it’s very stylish and has large comfortable bedrooms which are immaculate and are very quiet at night. Breakfast is wonderful and with excellent choice and is served in the central area. The highlight however was the staff who are very helpful, friendly and professional. We ate every night on the roof terrace, which was beautiful overlooking the skyline of Quito. Ponchos and heaters were a lovely addition and the food was amazing! The service was exceptional, Dino in particular made our stay memorable! He managed to anticipate all our needs and we loved every minute of our stay. A truly amazing hotel!

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Excellent hotel. Staff is tremendously helpful - helped counsel us on things to do and transportation and were actively looking out for us. The rooms were wonderful for our family. The interior courtyard was inviting and the rooftop restaurant was delicious. All staff were so warm and welcoming and Dennis in particular was wonderful when we ate at the restaurant. Lunch was delicious - breakfast is fine but not as differentiating as the rest of the experience. We could hear a woman’s choir singing when we left the hotel in the morning. Would love to come back.

The hotel is one of the most amazing places i have stayed. From the room, food, staff, dining courtyard, rooftop, etc. Immersed in art, history, and an elegant setting. Staff could not have been more friendly and supportive.
