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.
