On arrival we found the hotel bore little resemblence to the pictures on the website. Our room, out in the backyard was cold, dark and sparsely furnished. The shower was dirty in appearance and leaked onto the bathroom floor. In the restaurant, half the dishes on the menu were not available. Dirty glasses, empty bottles and the ashes of the... More

We stayed at this interesting hotel in Quito on March 23: my husband and I and our 15 yr old daughter. The first room we were given on the 3rd floor had really sloping ceilings and windows which didn't open which seemed rather claustrophobic. Asked for another room and was shown a rather moldy smelling room - #1 in an... More

If you are looking for a unique boutique hotel that will be unlike any other you've ever stayed in, than choose Cafe Cultura. A large group of ours stayed here for several nights before our trip to the Galapagos and we got to check out each other rooms, as promised, every single one was different in design. Anyone with walking/climbing... More

This is the place to stay in Quito to pamper yourself. The staff are pleasant and very friendly. The onsite restaurant is very exquisite and has a very original and delicious menu. The beds are, in my opinion, the most comfortable that I have slept on so far in Ecuador! I highly recommend a stay at Cafe Cultura.

I stayed here recently on a recommendation. The hotel is uniquely decorated and staff are friendly, but I was given a small room where I couldn't even open my suitcase properly and the light is so poor that it was impossible to read at night. There is also no TV . Although they boast of a library, the books are... More

I've beento Cafe Cultura twice now and both times have been wonderful. We were a large group but and they catered to us. The staff is wonderful, the rooms are unique and no two are the same. The food is delicious. I look forward to going back next year. Thanks Cafe Cultura for always making our stays special. Auburn Amazon... More

We stayed here at the beginning and end of an Amazon jungle expedition and the place is great. funky for sure, not a corporate hotel. I agree with the other reviews, nice living-room style feel, free WiFi, the one complaint is they have taken the eco- thing a little too far with the room lighting, few and dim, you can... More

I stayed at Cafe Cultura in January 2013 for about 9 days and nights, and I couldn't have been more pleased. The rooms were all decorated uniquely with beautiful furniture and paintings on the walls, the beds were the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in, the showers were nice and hot, and the staff was so incredibly welcoming and...

Cafe Cultura is a one-of-a-kind place, a marvellously-restored mansion, the former French Cultural Center. Evening candles, fire blazing in the old fireplace, murals throughout, just lovely. This is decidedly not a cookie-cutter hotel like the Marriott. We were greeted with an offer of a drink, so my husband opted for a beer while I had a very delicious tree-tomato juice... More

I am so glad we chose the Cafe Culltura for our only 2 nights in Quito. The old hacienda has been modernized just enough to be warm, inviting and comfortable while maintaining all the charm and splendor of it's roots as a private home. The hand painted walls and ceilings throughout were gorgeous and the bedding was 5-star luxurious and... More
