Toiletts got clogged and shower wasn't that warm.

Staff was really nice. You could take plants and herbs from their garden.

Bathrooms weren’t very clean and frequently out of toilet paper.

Nice place to stay and they worked with me when I had an issue with my reservation. The common areas were great and the location to the main plaza was ideal.

Nothing

Very nice Hostal in central Cuenca

Stayed in February 2023

Not enough toilets, it's really annoying + times of reception closure (3-7am) since it's very oldschool solution in hostels (you don't have a key so cannot enter after 3 am unless you get a deal with staff for additional fee). Also only one of the staff members fluently speaks English, i believe this is a must in such places.

It's a cool hostel, really cozy, with good and polite staff members. Enjoyed my stay!!!

the reception hours are 7-3 and they lock the door outside of those so you have to go find someone to unlock it for you. The water in the shower was either boiling hot or freezing as well

Great location, friendly staff, rooms had big lockers

Stayed in February 2023

The kitchen facilities were not great and we had nowhere to sit for our meals. The dorm rooms were very small with little space.

Easy check in and nice staff

Stayed in November 2022

A slight nuisance is that the front door is generally bolted closed and so you have to find a staff member to let you out or wait to come in. One female staff member at reception seems more interested in her phone than the guests!

Clean rooms, clean and spacious bathrooms with hot water, strong WiFi. Well equipped kitchen and good location offering good value.

shower was temperamental but okay

the location of the property was amazing, really close to everything and very safe. the kitchen facilities where good and it had a nice outdoor area to chill in. we walked from the main terminal which was around 20-30 mins.

Walls are thin and can hear a lot.

Great location. Staff allowed us to store our bags and relax in the common areas before our night bus☺️

Great Location, clean

I didn’t bother me at all but for others it might, the is no curtain around the bunk bed or the single beds I. The dorm and it is a old house with wooden floor which is noisy when people walk but again, I didn’t care at all.

The location only 2 blocks away from the Parque Calderon, 10min street car ride from the bus station, the kitchen well equipped (a lot of dishes, pots, pans, coffee maker, kettle, blinder), big room with big lockers, very nice and helpful staffs.

A little noisy at times, but it did not stop us from sleeping :)

Perfect location, few minutes walk from the centre and about 15 min walk to Pumapungo archeological park. Everything you need is nearby, good restaurants and shops, and a huge market a couple of blocks away. The staff were very friendly and accommodating - we had to wait in the city a long time for a night bus to Peru, and the staff allowed us to stay in the hostel and relax in the common areas, really kind! It felt very secure, they lock the front door at 11pm. Great kitchen for cooking your own food too. Even though it is a little cold in Cuenca at night, there are enough blankets on the beds.

Weak flow of hot water in the shower

The hostel is excellent, there is a fully equipped and comfortable kitchen, the location is excellent and the staff is nice and helpful. Excellent value for money

No hot water for shower either day and wifi was very hit or miss

Room was big and bright and bed was comfortable.

It was very noisy. Everytime someone was walking in the hallway my bed would be shaking.

Interior is nice with a good equipped kitchen

Stayed in February 2022

The wooden floor is very loud. room gets very chilly at night and the blankets might be enough to keep you warm.

great value for the price.

What a weird organisation… The hostel is quite nice, the rooms are confortable and the location is great. But it can be very noisy if your room is close to the bathrooms. However the entrance door… you’re not allowed to keep the keys when you go out. Which means you have to be lucky enough that the receptionist is not taking a pee or wandering around the place, or you’ll have to wait until he notices someone’s at the door. And let’s talk about the checkout… once you’ll be done packing, they lock you in like a criminal until they’ve « checked » your room. I’ve never seen such a thing in my entire life and I’m pretty sure it is illegal. So it is a rather nice place but don’t expect too much.

Welcome to Mochiliers Hostel, where keys are just for show. Don't count on getting inside easily, though. Even with someone at reception, you might find yourself stuck outside for what feels like forever, waiting for the door to open. Once you're in, get ready for noise. The wooden floors are so loud, you'll think there's a marching band in the hallway. And forget about sleeping in – the party doesn't stop until dawn, and the early birds start chirping at 5 AM. The kitchen and bathroom have seen better days, with mold making itself at home on the walls and ceilings. And if you're brave enough to shower, get ready for a shock – the water's colder than the Arctic. But the real adventure? Those bunk beds without guardrails. Just hope you don't fall off, and good luck trying to explain your frustrations to the cleaning lady, who couldn't care less. And let's not forget the potential disaster of not having a key. Imagine if there's a fire and you can't get out because you're locked in. It's a nightmare scenario made worse by the hostel's lackadaisical attitude. In short, Mochiliers Hostel is more than just a place to crash – it's a wild ride through chaos and confusion. Hold on tight, folks.

Danger They locked the door to force me to pay 10usd. The reason ? I checkout the same day as my checkin. This "rules" like they said is not written anywhere. Is just a tourist trap.

not a lot of warm water to shower. the hostel is very noisy. children play in the morning. very cold because it is always draughty. bed was also very noisy.

nice staff they will help you with any question. Hostal is direct in the center of cuenca, close to everything.

not enough bathrooms especially in the morning and water is not really warm

perfect location, incredible staff, an amazing vibe and one of the best value for money. my stay was great at this hostel.

They crammed everyone into one dorm rather than using the empty dorms that were available. I was shoved in a dorm with 5 males when the two dorms next door were both empty. I don’t mind mixed dorms but it didn’t make sense to me! I would have thought it would be better to make people feel comfortable?!?!?

The location was great
