    The only drawback is that the roomd have windows towards the lobby, not towards the exterior and the sound insulation is not the best.

    The location, the staff and the architecture of the building. Also the breakfast was good.

    Creaky floor board but this can also be seen as party of the charm.

    Beautiful colonial style building located in a perfect location to visit the town. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely too.

    The parking was inconvenient and a haul with luggage.

    We were in the heart of the historic center, able to walk everywhere, yet the rooms were very quiet. The hotel also had good shared space to meet our friends and relax/hang out.

    The best place to stay in Cuenca. Great value for money.
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Junior Suite
    • Stayed 2 nights

    We had only one complaint. Our junior suite wasn’t ready for us, and so we agreed to take a smaller room. The room had a bad smell, and was very small. The bathroom had a window into a sort of lobby. We really didn’t like the idea of people being able to listen to us using the bathroom. We had to ask a second time to get switched back to the junior suite, because this room was not acceptable. at first, they were not going to do it, but then they did change it with no problem. It was a small blip in an otherwise perfect stay.

    The hotel was a really nice hotel, very centrally located in Curnca, nicely decorated, very friendly and helpful staff all the way around, an excellent breakfast, very comfortable bed, and quiet when it needed to be. We had a junior suite, which was extremely comfortable. Lots of room, a nice bathroom, and an upstairs sitting room right next to our room, which became our Living Room. If you’re going to stay in Cuenca, this is a perfect place to do it.

    as others have mentioned it’s an older building, so expect some noise. People coming back to the hotel late at night talking loudly was very easy to hear as windows all face into the atrium, a reminder sign to keep quiet might help, but admittedly only one person did this, so we slept very well.

    The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful, from checkin to check out! Hotel has a lovely ambiance, it’s nicely decorated. The shower was amazing!!!!

    nothing bad to say about this place

    great location for starters, few minutes from heart of old Cuenca at Plaza Calderon. But what made it for me is the staff. Just great, friendly and accommodating. Lots of English spoken so I didn’t have to break out my baby Spanish. also the breakfast is more varied than most I have encountered and very good

    I would prefer a balcony room next time for more natural light to enter my room. And would have preferred Ecuadorian breakfast instead of the American breakfast.

    Cleanliness, nice architecture, and the staff was so friendly!

    Very central location to the churches, main square and restaurant. Short walk to museums and the riverwalk. Breakfast was top notch every morning. Wifi was dependable and pretty fast. Maybe 15-20 mbps on a speed test. From reading the reviews I was worried about the creaky floor noise but it didn't bother me. The rooms had lots of space to spread out, included a luggage rack and even a little wine fridge. Showers were hot and had shampoo and conditioner dispensers.
