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.

Bang for Buck
Great location close to sightseeing, food, shopping with a helpful friendly staff. Comfortable clean rooms with a bath that provides a good hot shower. Well worth the money.

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.

WIFI SUCKS
The staff was kind enough. The rooms are very dated. They are also very noisy. The bed sleeps like a rack. The bathroom was clumsy and hard to use. The WiFi was almost nonexistent. I had to time it just right just to check my email. We were booked for 5 nights, we left after 2.

Hotel new to Expedia in central Loja
The good: The hotel is clean and well maintained. It is centrally located within easy walking distance of shopping, dining and tourist sights in Loja. The breakfast was good. The water was hot enough to shower comfortably after a wait to get warm. The wifi was pretty reliable. The staff was generally friendly and tried to be helpful. Water dispensers were available in the lobby and on our floor. The bad: our room was in the front of the hotel and it was loud even by Ecuadorian standards. The noise culminated with the police using a loudspeaker to intervene in a domestic situation taking place across the street with a bullhorn at 0200. The beds gave new meaning to "firm". It was like sleeping on a board with a blanket on top. They were very uncomfortable. The staff speaks very little English and with my limited Spanish, it was difficult at times. To be fair, they were very patient and nice about my language shortcomings. There was a misunderstanding about the number of people in our party. There were 4 instead of the 2 listed on the reservation. Someone spoke to the other people in the group about some additional charges but it was apparently straightened out. When I checked out there was no mention of it. I assume that it was because the hotel is new to Expedia.
