Hotel La Cartuja Hotel — Hotel in Mariscal Sucre

I stayed here as part of an organised tour but also booked some nights independently. The staff are lovely and friendly, the rooms spacious (although could do with more hooks/places for bathroom storage) and the location is good. It is a short walk to the Metro which is two stops from the Old Town and a 40 minute ride from the airport. We got taxis to the cable car and equator in around 20 and 40 minutes respectively, which the hotel arranged and negotiated the price for so we weren't ripped off.

Big shout out to Maria, Patricio, Karla and Monica who went out of their way to help make our stay so enjoyably and all with a smile.

We highly recommend paying the La Cartuja...
