The hotel is a little bit challenging to reach. If you don't have an organized transportation, you should rent a SUV, since roads are partly really bumpy. But the place and the hotel are great. It is really quite and cosy. We had a fire place in our room. The food is good. And just after moving to another hotel not to far away we realized how great Chilcabamba was. We would like to come back immediately. We will miss it. So, if you need a nice place to disconnect from the was was world, Chilcabamba could be a good option for you.
We spent two lovely nights at Chilcabamba. It's modern and comfortable, but also has character. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The lodge is in a spectacular setting in the countryside, with direct views of Cotopaxi but also another volcano, Pasochoa. Because of the altitude, the Cotopaxi area gets cool at night but the rooms have wood-burning stoves so stay warm. Chilcabamba also has a nice restaurant and comfortable lounge. Overall a lovely refuge on the fringes of the Cotapaxi national park. We hope to go back.
The stay at the lodge was out of this world. The staff are amazing and care for every need. Couldn’t fault a single thing! Food and drink was exceptional too! And the location is to be seen with your own eyes! Nothing can compare !
Superbe séjour fortement recommandé, autant pour la vue que pour le service à la fois professionnel et amical sur place. Nous avons adoré y passer deux nuits en famille et avons pleinement profité des activités sur place: pêche, balade à cheval dans le parc Cotopaxi ( à ne pas manquer), feu de camp avec smores, etc. Le lieu est isolé et l'accès n'est pas aisé sans un véhicule assez haut, mais ça garantie la quiétude et une superbe vue sur le volcan. Repas de qualité, mais assez chers pour le pays. Nous y retournerons sans hésitation!
Amazing staff, food, view of cotopaxi, fireplace
My only feedback is investing in having quieter rooms because i can still hear others. Also, have more signs in the park to make it easier to find the hotel
My husband and I had the most outstanding stay. We stayed for 6 nights in total. Throughout the entire stay we felt so at home. Breakfast was a great quality as was the lunches, boxed lunches for trip days and the evening meals. Our room was super spacious, the fire was delightful and made it really cosy. Jessica helped arrange all our guides for hiking and visiting the Cotopaxi area. I would change nothing and would return again if I ever come back. The views were breathtaking and I don’t think the pictures on here really show how great the lodge is or the views, so you have a delightful surprise ahead of you if you book. We saw hummingbirds around the lodge and had really good local liquors to enjoy by the fire a night.
By far the best hotel we stayed at in Ecuador. We had expectations based on pics but the reality was even better.
Extremely clean, fabulous staff, very comfortable common area. Easy drive to the volcano.
Incredible place to stay, 2 nights was not enough. Jessica and the team really made me and my family very welcome. Excellent breakfast and dinner with amazing views of the 5 volcanoes and plenty of activities to do in the area. Would love to go back one day.
It is a beautiful place where you will enjoy the tranquility, the natural landscape and the warmth of the staff who work there. The logde is far from the road but it is worth it because you really disconnect from everything.
The staff is very attentive and always ready to help, I really hope to return sometime with my family when we think about vacations.
Thé Chilcabamba Lodge by far exceeded our expectations!!! The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, the food is excellent and the dining room is warm and cosy. The lodge is an eclectic mix of hacienda with modern decor and design. The outside offers stunning views of Cotopaxi as well as Rumiñahui, Pasochoa and Sincholagua. Would definitely go back!
Jesica and her team went above and beyond to provide an excellent 3 night stay with my two young children. The rooms were spacious and elegantly decorated, the food in the restaurant was delicious and local, and all the staff was extremely attentive to anything we needed during our stay. We arranged two day tours (Cotopaxi and Quilotoa) while there and they were excellent and well worth the cost (our guide was fantastic!). This is all not to mention the amazing views from the lodge. You won't regret choosing Chilcabamba!
