Cafe Cultura is conveniently located, and is a really friendly and warm place. The fireplaces are great, and the staff went out of their way to be helpful in arranging taxis, calling restaurants for us, etc. They also serve a great breakfast. Most other hotels that charge comparable rates however include perks like free internet and free breakfasts, but Cafe... more

Our room was pretty, the Mariscal neighborhood location excellent. The hotel has lovely murals on the walls, nice details such as tropical flowers in the rooms. Hot water not completely reliable in the afternoons due to low water pressure. Taking a bath would have been impossible due to giant, rectangular bath tub. The cafe is cute and has reasonable food,... more

We went to this hotel as it got a good write up in some travel guides. We arrived to find that we had a poor room which had limited head space. The cost of the room was quoted as $89 but on leaving the staff tried to increase it by 12%. Generally in South America you start getting cable television... more

While travelling in Ecuador with my family we stayed at the Cafe Cultura. We had stayed int he Patio Andaluz in Quito previously, which I would recommend, and I was hoping this would be of the same high standard. There are nice thigns about this hotel, but overall I felt it had the feel of a nice youth hostel, rather... more

Room2: due to the overbooking, they upgraded us to a suite the first 2nights-- large bed room, small hallway that led to bathroom and sitting room w/ windows on 3 sides. Found this room to have a cold temperature... more

My tour company booked me into Cafe Cultura before my trip to the Amazon jngle and the Galapagos Islands. So this became my base. I arrived in Quito three days before my tours and was made very welcome by the staff. The hotel is very inviting from the main lobby to the library and the dining room. The rooms that... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in between various trips around Ecuador. The communal areas are stylish and the facilities i.e. internet and bar are good. The rooms vary widly for 90 USD. Some were very large and comfortable and some were cramped with poor curtains and lots of street noise. The loaction is great for the New City. Restaurant... more

We stayed at the Cafe Cultura for 3 days in December 2006. We had 2 rooms and since our flight was delayed when we arrived they had given our rooms away even though we had prepaid them, which was very irritating. They gave us 2 other rooms of lower quality and then moved us the next day. Things we didn't... more

Very artsy cute hotel in a great location (Marisical in the New City). It is close to shopping, good restaurants and night life. The restaurant in the hotel is okay, not authentic Equatorian cusine...definitely more American. A bit pricey for Ecuador. All in all I would recoomend..... more
