Mama Cuchara by Art Hotels

A very comfortable, arty hotel with excellent, friendly staff. The room was more compact than our previous hotels but a spacious shower was lovely. Breakfast was served rather than buffet so allow more time for this. Restaurant food was good but not particularly exciting (we ate in the restaurant one evening). They provided a wide range of free, Ecuadorian snacks in the room. The hotel was close enough to the Historic Centre that we felt comfortable walking between the two although I did have my backpack slashed in the centre of town (but didn't lose anything). The hotel itself is a wonderfully converted old mansion. A very pleasant place to stay.

The hotel was quaint and the staff was very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to my friends.

Excellent and characterful boutique hotel in historic town center. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at the Mama Cuchara hotel. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It was nice to be greeted by enthusiastic staff and a welcome glass of spiced juice when we arrived.

The room we had was very clean and a perfect size for two of us. The bathroom was also a good size. The provided breakfast had a good variety and, again, the service staff were very attentive and polite.

I would definitely stay here again!

Area felt safe, very good food & service in the hotel. Staff couldn’t be nicer! Need to walk for other dining options & tourist sites.

Beautiful and clean.

The staff at Mama Cuchara went above and beyond to ensure their guests have the best experience. You really receive 5 star service here. The staff are always at the front door to welcome you, available for any needs and able to keep track of when the guests are leaving and always offer to have boxed breakfasts if you are traveling early. They always want to make sure you are fed! Ivan worked a lot during our stay and was so helpful. The rooms are beautiful and there’s a restaurant and roof top bar. Dino, the bartender provided the best service we’ve ever had with dining. He was so kind and eager for us to have a good experience. We stayed 4 nights before going to the Galápagos and then 2 nights afterwards before going home. I really can’t say enough wonderful things about the staff here.

What an amazing hotel!! Staff is super friendly, professional and helpful. The rooms are GORGEOUS, well appointed and comfortable. A 5 - 10 minute walk to the "old town" or a quick taxi ride at a very reasonable cost.

The breakfast buffet was delicious and dinner and drinks at the rooftop restaurant was excellent. Highly recommend!

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.

Beautiful hotel with friendly staff. I felt safe and well cared for

Wow! We knew this hotel got great reviews but it still exceeded our expectations. The hotel is beautifully renovated with all the modern conveniences but still retains an abundance of local charm. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The hotel
Is very comfortable and welcoming. The food is excellent with a beautiful restaurant in the center courtyard and a rooftop bar/restaurant with an amazing view. They have many gluten free and healthy options on the menu. The hotel is not that close to the airport so I would recommend staying more than one night. We stayed 2 nights after a Galapagos cruise and it worked out perfectly.

A truly fantastic stay! I very much appreciated all the attention to detail, from the staff experience to the room and general decor. A lot of small touches made the stay extra memorable and rewarding. The location is a bit off the main old town but the hotel makes up for this in absolute charm. Very well done.
