I stayed at this hotel for a total of ten days. Part of my stay there was after arrival in Quito and the other part was after touring the Galapagos. The hotel is located behind the U.S. Embassy and is just a few blocks from a market area. The area around the hotel was quite safe and one could walk... more

La Cartuja is in a good, central local. The staff is absolutely amazing, especially Miguel. Our trip would not have been what it was had we not stayed there. Make sure to eat eggs at breakfast because they will hold you over until lunch or dinner. The juice here was great, too. Thanks again for a great trip, Miguel!!!!! -... more

We came to this hotel based on other Trip Advisor reviews (even though the last one was about a year old) and I'm very glad we did! Most of the rooms open onto a lovely courtyard.The hotel is quiet, attended 24-hours, and has super comfortable beds (which is hard to find in Ecuador) and consistently hot water. The staff were... more

Stayed at this hotel whilst travelling around Ecuador and Galapagos. Room was small but clean and comfortable. Choose the garden rooms if you want a quiet place to rest and good view of courtyard. Location very convenient for both old and new towns of quito and in a safe area. Managers and staff friendly and helpful, available at all hours.... more

We stayed at La Cartuja in July. The hotel is in a very good location just a block from Casa de La Cultura museum and Amazonas Avenue. It is also near the Mariscal area where restaurants and bars are. The rooms are nicelly done in yellow and blue. We stayed on the second floor facing the garden. The staff is... more

We were booked for 3 nights based on reviews from TA - we checked out after one. I thought it was a boutique B&B from what I read on-line. It had a pretty courtyard like in the photo, but our courtyard room was dingy and musty. The bathroom shower had mold around the tile and on the ceiling- I wore... more

This was an excellent choice for our two nights in Quito, travelling as a family of 5. The hotel made the transfers to and from the airport very easy for us. Arrangements went smoothly, with all booking made by email. We had two adjacent rooms with bathrooms - everything very clean and neat, and perfectly safe. The Hotel has a... more

We stayed at the La Cartuja hotel 3 nights before and 2 nights after our trip to the Galapagos. We payed 50$/night, and I think what you get for that price is adequate. The location of the hotel is fine, about 3 blocks from the Mariscal's district main artery, Av. Amazonas, with lots of restaurants in walking distance. The area... more

My girlfriend and I went to Quito in mid-August of 2006. During most of our stay in Quito we stayed at La Cartuja. Our room was so cleanly, the staff were very helpful and the morning breakfast was very comforting especially in the peaceful courtyard. While we were in Ecuador, we stayed at La Cartuja for 2 nights and then... more

The hotel was very cute -- darling room, tiny bathroom, nice courtyard. Service was friendly and helpful, and got us a taxi at 4:30 am. Breakfast was great. 24 hour computer with internet access. Location was great - near other embassies, so very safe, and about 2 blocks from Quito's top museum -- half way between the airport and old... more
