During a stay at this place you will surely be captivated by its unique setting atop a dormant volcano, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. The serene environment provided a tranquil escape from the city's hustle and bustle. The spacious rooms, each with large windows, allowed me to wake up to the beauty of the crater every morning. The hotel's commitment to cleanliness and comfort was evident throughout my stay LOCATION:Situated on the edge of the Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve, El Crater Hotel offers unparalleled views of the volcanic crater and lush greenery. Its proximity to the equatorial line and the Mitad del Mundo monument made it convenient for me to explore these attractions. However, the hotel's remote location means that having a vehicle is beneficial for accessing nearby sites and the city center. DINE + DRINK: The on-site restaurant provided a delightful culinary experience, featuring a menu that blends local Ecuadorian flavors with international cuisine. I particularly enjoyed the freshly prepared dishes and the opportunity to dine while overlooking the crater. The quality of the food and the attentive service made each meal memorable. ROOM: We stayed in Room 408, so this review is based on that; SIZE: Spacious enough for 2 adults and simple baggage; VIEW: Stunning views of the Crater of the Volcano; AIR-CON: Perfectly functioning cooler that helped in setting the perfect room temperature; BED: Comfortable bed that played the expected part of putting us to sleep; BATHROOM:Good sized bathroom with a Stand-in shower; TOILETRIES: Good quality toiletries FACILITIES: NO Gym or pool on site. They are supposed to have a spa that offers an opportunity for relaxation, and the hotel's proximity to hiking trails in the geobotanical reserve offered excellent opportunities for outdoor activities. SERVICE: Friendly staff that cared for all our needs with a smile and made us feel pampered and well taken care of. Special Shout-out to PAUL at the restaurant for hosting us wonderfully! HOW WIRED YOU WILL BE: Free Wi-Fi that works well all over the property, and the speed is good! Big Smart TV dishing out a wide variety of channels spanning sports, news, music, movies, and entertainment in multiple languages

El hotel tiene una vista y una tranquilidad inmejorables, pero también varios problemas. Si bien las habitaciones son de estilo rústico, comienzan a necesitar remodelación, especialmente los baños. En el caso particular de mi habitación, había un olor a tubería que no era inmanejable, pero llama la atención en un hotel de este precio. En cuanto al personal, es amable y servicial, otro de los grandes puntos positivos del hotel. Más allá de esto, el gran “pero” de este hotel es el restaurante. La comida es cara, algo normal en una zona turística, pero el problema es el sabor. El primer día pedí una corvina que estaba seca y un risotto de quinoa bastante deficiente. El ceviche Jipijapa no pasa de aceptable. En la cena, un pollo a la parrilla que parecía más bien frito y de un sabor soso y apagado, como sacado de un hospital. Lo peor fue la “orden de empanadas de verde”, que en realidad son cuatro mini empanadas congeladas que casi no tienen queso y cuestan 8 USD. Creo que por 123 dólares la noche, definitivamente hay mejores opciones.
