Mama Cuchara by Art Hotels

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!

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.

Awesome hotel Mama Cuchara! 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.

Mama Cuchara was our home base during a recent visit to Quito and the Galapagos. This boutique hotel is wonderful - clean, relatively quiet with wonderful staff. Easy walking distance to the historic downtown area of Quito, and the rooftop bar/restaurant has the most amazing views of the city. Be sure to visit amazing bartender Dino for a signature cocktail!

This hotel is beautiful, newly renovated with a very distinctive sense of style. Our rooms were lovely, large and comfortable, with welcome snacks and flowers. We also enjoyed the rooftop bar/restaurant and viewing platform. The staff were very warm and helpful. Our only reservation is that the hotel is in an offbeat section of the historic center, a fair hike away from the main attractions.
