Quiet location, friendly staff in old-style hotel
We spent 4 nights here. The staff were excellent and very helpful and friendly and the property, although old, was clean. At first we had a very spacious room but unfortunately we asked to be moved to another room because of noise such as air-con or pump or generator (?) throughout the night. But they moved us without a problem. Otherwise it was pretty quiet at night. We also found the location to be a little inconvenient as we had to get taxis most of the time to go where we wanted. We had been told by a few people that walking around the streets at night was a bit dangerous, and as there weren’t restaurants close enough to walk to safely, taxis were the way to go.

Feels like home
I stayed at La Cartuja for a week, while on a business trip. La Cartuja started to feel like home. I talked to all the people that worked there, who would ask me how my day went. My room was very large with 2 beds and a fake fireplace. The beds were well-made and comfy to sleep on. My room was right next to the lobby, which made it a little loud (buzzers and people in the hallway). The room could also be a little cold at night with the tile floors, so bring some socks and a sweater! The big bummer was that the Internet didn't work that well in my room. That meant that I often used my phone to hotspot or call abroad. Breakfast was decent with eggs (made fried/scrambled), toast, fruit, and some yogurt and granola. There was always fresh juice and coffee/tea. The location was pretty good. The hotel's right next to the Ecuadorian national museum. It's a 15-20 minute walk from the heart of La Floresta and about 10-12 minutes from La Mariscal. The only thing is that it's not super safe to walk at night, so in the evening I primarily got around by taxi. Overall, a great place to stay when looking for something a little low-key and homey.

THIS sleepy nice old style hotel, with a nice courtyard was not your typical hotel. 1st they are understaff, they are trying to save money. they have 1 cook who is also a waitress and house keeper. they have a owner who comes over maybe everyday with a baby , sits around and feeds baby and does not work, there are no male security guards at nite. not one. they dont even have cold beer or nice wine for sale. The word on the street is they are some kind of Christian Group with Gods money and running a hotel. I will never stay there again. any christians wanting to stay there well come on down and check in.

Decent, but overpriced for size and value.
Conveniant area to stay. Friendly staff, but the female manager needs some training in customer relation skills. The rooms are tiny, and the rates too high because of that and for what you get.

lovely small hotel with good welcome.
I had been awake and travelling for more than 24 hours when I arrived late at night. Once realising google maps wasn't quite accurate and it was a bit further along the road the reception staff greeted me nicely. He knew my name (on the booking I said I would arrive late) and was welcoming, he also spoke some English which is helpful. The room was exactly as in photos, very clean and cosy, the whole hotel was beautifully designed. I believe it used to be an embassy building so has a safe gate at the front. They were happy to store bags after you checkout so you can go site seeing (walkable distance) and helpful with maps and directions/bus routes. The breakfast was a bit minimalistic (eggs some toast a small plate of fruit and coffee tea and juice) probably the only downside.

Excellent budget choice.
Reasonably close to the tourist precint - a 10 minute walk or a cheap three minute taxi ride. Rooms comfortable but a bit chilly. Miguel and the staff were very helpful. If you need a driver to get you to the sights, ask for Luis. As this is basically a three star option it lacks the facilities we usually have a higher star hotels. However, for three stars this is pretty good!!!

A nice spot.
Lovely converted mansion with a courtyard in a convenient neighborhood. Overall clean with hot water but spotty wifi. TV screen was small and didn't immediately work (the onsite technician needed to be alerted). Breakfast was delicious. Service was excellent. Next to the foreign consulates.

La Cartuja Top Notch!
What a wonderfully convenient neighborhood, close to the big museum and Casa Cultura (a must-do, free admission and really top-notch), and the park with art shows on weekends, three blocks from in-town artesan's market, and close the some of the bigger, more touristy-hotels if you need a "fix" in one of their bars. La Cartuja staff outstanding- friendly, kind, completely helpful with everything requested. The rooms just right for the price, and a comfy living-room/library style public area, not to mention the garden. We were only there for three days, and busy all the time, but when we come back Cartuja would be our first choice as a base for a longer visit to the region!

It is not an extravagant hotel but who needs luxury anyway. For the price it is excellent, so is the location and the staff. Highly recommended.
