Hotel Café Cultura Review

In the heart of New Town, the Café Cultura is definitely one of the most unique and interesting hotels in Quito. This old, beautifully renovated house is one of the hippest hotels in the city. All the rooms have hand-painted designs on the walls and their own personal touches. No. 25 has a tree growing through it; no. 1 has a fireplace, French doors, painted furniture, and a claw-foot tub. My favorite room is no. 2, which has a beautiful sitting nook, with wraparound floor-to-ceiling windows. Several of the rooms have sloped wooden ceilings; most have been renovated in the past few years, and all the windows have been soundproofed. In general, the bathrooms are also excellent, although some are a bit small. There's a lovely restaurant adjacent to the lobby, complete with hardwood floors, flickering candles, and a roaring fireplace.

Facilities:
Restaurant; lounge; tour desk; free Wi-Fi; limited room service; laundry service; all rooms smoke-free

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
