I liked Loja better then Cuenca.
I liked Loja better then Cuenca. It is more relaxed, cleaner, and has a wealthier feel to it. People are very nice and welcoming. Podocarpus is a gem, I advise people to find a way to visit (there are very few outfitters, but there is a couple).

One of the most amazing province in Ecuador.
One of the most amazing province in Ecuador. Beautiful landscapes from dry to cloud forests. It is needed at least one week to travel around the main city and the rural areas. Also, one of the best coffee producers places around the globe. Traditional food is exceptional too! And people, very gentle too.

Beautiful calm city with plenty of things to do!
Beautiful calm city with plenty of things to do! Many museums and beautiful streets! I was enjoyable just wandering the streets and visiting stores and churches that we stumbled upon. I would recommend wandering around the town before going to the Museo de la Cultura Lojana because one of the most rewarding parts is seeing the old pictures of the city. However, you can really only appreciate those old pictures if you know what those sites looks like today. Regarding the museums, not all the information regarding openings is up to date. I would make sure to check with the visitor center in the Puerta de la Ciudad to confirm which museums are open. (Even though it said it was open online, el Museo de la Musica was closed due to renovations).
Recommendations:
-Puerta de la Ciudad
-Museo de la Cultura Lojana
-Museo de las Madres Conceptas de Loja
-Plaza de Independencia/San Sebastian
-All of the churches, very beautiful
-Parque Lineal de la Tebaida
-Mercado Central (en el 10 de agosto). Great breakfasts at great prices!
Very easy to catch a taxi in Loja. However, I also navigated most of the city by foot.

Beautiful city, nice people, a lot of places to visit, food excellent and cheap comparing other cities, people are willing to help, you can ask any question, if they don't understand English, they will figure it out, even asking other people at the street.
You will never find yourself lost in this city .
I will recommend the best place to have a local beer with the "Artesanal del Barón de la Cerveza", plus some delicious *Tapas*, the place is named **LA TASQUITA EC**, excellent black beer, affordable.
I love it, definitive I will come back .

Very nice setting in the Andes.
Very nice setting in the Andes. Spring-like temperatures year-round. Lots of festivities, especially in the fall. Nice vibe in the central city. Friendly people. Quite inexpensive overall. Close to all kinds of great mountains to hike in. Known as the music capital of Ecuador; free concerts every Thursday evening in the Plaza Sebastian. An amazing number of different restaurants with good food. (Try Dumas Restaurant close to the Central Cathedral.) The city is famous for the coffee grown in the surrounding area. Lots of lovely parks.

In the past Loja was just a place to come from Vilcabamba to buy things unavailable in Vilcabamba. But the city of Loja is the artistic capital of Ecuador and in my opinion, is a cleaner city than Cuenca or Vilcabamba.
I thought a lot of leaving a review but I think it's always worth to leave a review so that businesses can improve.
First the good aspects
The room was spacious and the location was fairly central just 5 minutes to main square walking
There was hot water in the shower and 3 towels provided. WiFi was working well.
I briefly met one of the staff members the next day and was very friendly and welcoming
Price was very low which impacts the value for money especially if you are travelling on a budget
The place was super clean and tidy. There was a swimming pool to take a nice dip after a long day of hiking and relax in a peaceful environment. Michelle was super helpful, accommodating, and spoke good English as my Spanish is a working progress to say the least. It was definitely the comfiest bed I've stayed in since travelling and I highly recommend staying here if you are in vilcabamba. Short taxi ride from the bus station to the accommodation (5 minutes) 😁.
The woman who checked me in was very warm and friendly. She gave me information about the room and where breakfast would be served. The hotel is in a perfect location in the center of town. The room was big. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had everything I needed. Breakfast was quite sumptuous with a bowl of fruit with cereal and yogurt, and then a plate of eggs, an empanada and a piece of toast was served. I'd come here again on my next visit to Loja.
We stayed at Hotel Carrion before and this was our second visit. This is our longest hotel stay in Ecuador so far and it was just as good as before. My prior comments are still applicable: location, staff, and hospitality all excellent. The service was consistent! Not all amenities are available as with U.S. hotels, but we didn't find them necessary in Ecuador.
The family owners/ staff are incredible, friendly and helpful in every way. Great location at the southern end of Loja , a green area with river trails, and plenty of restaurants and shopping options, plus only a short ride into old Loja. Rooms are large and comfortable and great value. They are opening a restaurant too and my meal there was excellent.
The location of the hotel was excellent. you can walk to everywhere in the town from here but it was really quiet at night.
The hotel itself is a beautiful building and had a room laid out as a museum. We didn't have breakfast here but it is served in an internal courtyard. A lovely place.
The staff was super friendly and welcoming, it felt like a home stay or a visit to some distant relative’s house rather than a stay at a hotel. The room was big and comfortable and the breakfasts were fantastic. This definitely ended up being one of our favorite stays in all of Ecuador.
Staff were very attentive and changed my room on account of the TV noise from the neighboring room which was far too audible. Rooms are well appointed, modern and clean. Food was good but limited choice in menu. Nice, quiet location away from all the traffic in Loja.
The hotel just at the end of renovation. Very clean, everything new. Located very close to the city centre. We have found communication with hotel staff a bit difficult, as we don't speak Spanish, but but when finally understood, they fulfilled our requests.
