Sofia, the host, was very friendly and helpful. A beautiful place, and was spotlessly clean. Nice breakfast and possible to have it early if needed. Convenient location a few minutes from the main plaza. Nice to have a roof top veranda. A beautiful small garden on the ground floor. I stayed för a total of 9 nights and would not hesitate to come back.

    This place is very well organized and especially the hosts are outstanding. The rooms are well-designed, the shower is excellent and the beds really comfortable. The building was restored with a lot of passion and love for details and has a beautiful patio. We really enjoyed the breakfast. Great Italian coffee is served. The breakfast is delicious and contains a surprise dish for every day. Franco, the owner, is very helpful, generous and really cares for his guests. We highly recommend this place and hope to return soon.

    It's a great hostel. The volunteers and staff are absolutely lovely and will go above and beyond to help you out (shout out Sam!) and the location is perfect in Cuenca. If you're looking for a budget option I highly recommend Wild Monkeys. It's not luxury but it's nice given the price.
