The entire place is clean and well kept. Very quiet and the bed was a dream! I slept so well! There was no climate control and the room was hot during the day, which I just opened the windows. At night early morning it got quite cold, so I closed all the windows and I was very comfortable. The restaurant was on the 2nd floor and very nice ambiance. I especially enjoyed the iconic transparent elevator! A very nice touch! I stayed on the 6th floor and truly enjoyed my stay! Very affordable.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Yes, all room amenities were perfect. However, on the fourth floor above me, the owners had a dog that they allow on the balcony that literally bark much of the night, so my sleep was invaded. Also, it was Carnival and they were yelling and screaming part of the night from a balcony. But the breakfast was very good and they had plenty of coffee. I will stay again but probably not during Carnival.

Buena ubicación. Buena relación calidad-precio. El staff amable. Por mejorar algo concretamente, en el desayuno no nos preguntaron cómo preferíamos servirnos los huevos, solo nos sirvieron huevos revueltos. Pensábamos que era así, pero luego nos dimos cuenta cómo sí lo preguntaban a otros huéspedes. Todos nos merecemos el mismo trato desde las pequeñas cosas.

The best hotel in Loja in terms of price/quality

Everything was perfect. The staff were very nice from the beginning to the end of our journey. The room was impeccable and the breakfast was delicious. Without a doubt, I will book a room in Hotel Podocarpus next time I will be in Loja.
