Hotel Metropolitano — Hotel in Loja

We did not have a reservation so we just went in and asked for a room. We don't really speak Spanish but it was very easy get the room. The lady spoke simple and easy-to-understand Spanish.||||There is a hotel-like reception which is open 24 hours. The rooms are simple but big. We had a room with twin beds. The beds we quite hard but their size were huge - most places use this kind of beds as a double bed. Rooms have private bathroom which is clean, spacious and with hot water. Room also had a detail which is not very common in cheaper hostels/hotels in Ecuador: full-length mirror.||||We stayed there just one night when we we going from Ecuador to Peru. It was a very pleasant stay although the lack of sound insulation could be a problem. Luckily the road next to hotel was quiet and we didn't hear any noisy customers.

I was $15, so it fitted the necessity; however, no sooner did I get into the room, than I wanted to leave. It smelled horrible and the room itself was horrible. It was not worth the 15 dollars. Nevertheless, I left my stuff there since I had to go to college fast. When I came back, I told them that I wouldn't stay there because I didn't like it at all and still they charged me $5 for the 3-hour thing. The guy said that if it had been his boss, she would've charged $10. Can you imagine that? Not recommendable at all! you can find better places for $15. I myself went just around the corner, across from the park, and found one for $20, but It was worth the 5 dollars extra. Again, Don't stay there! People at the front desk are...
