This old family homestead in the colonial center has been delightfully preserved and turned into a small hotel catering primarily to retired expats. The included breakfast is scrumptious and the dining room a great place to network with others looking to retire in Cuenca. more

We had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful home with a staff that was beyond helpful. Alberto, his family, and staff welcomed us and treated us like family. The room was nicely decorated, very clean and very comfortable. The bathroom was small yet very clean and plenty of hot water for a relaxing shower after a day of sightseeing... more

I agree with all of the excellent reviews thus far written about Casa Ordonez. We were welcomed like family. Alberto gave us a tour of the home and emphasized that we were to enjoy it like it was ours. The bed was more comfortable than our bed at home! We slept more than 8 hours most nights. No traffic noise,... more

One would not normally rate a hotel on the basis of "where you would most like to be if you had the experience of becoming ill while on vacation."

The central courtyard where breakfast is served is covered with a large skylight to give you the feel of sitting in the open with natural light, yet shield you from the elements. The rooms, as well as the entire property is decorated with an antique, old-fashioned look throughout.... more

...that is if you can leave! I couldn't. Not really. Since our 2+ week stay with Alberto and his family my son and I have returned to Casa Ordonez regularly to visit/touch base with our new friends. Thanks Alberto for establishing a wonderful B & B in a business you were born for. more

Stayed at the Casa Ordonez with 3 friends for 5 days and had a fabulous time. The rooms were clean, elegantly decorated and had comfortable beds, TV, telephone and private bathroom. The bathroom was tiny but very clean and we never had trouble getting hot water. There are two communal seating areas - one with a large TV complete with... more

Casa Ordonez is, hands down, the best place to stay in Cuenca! I recently visited there for the second time, and the service and hospitality are as amazing as I remembered. The Casa is beautifully furnished with antiques and offers lovely linens and towels, and the breakfast is delicious! All modern amenities are provided, including in-room internet, cable TV, and... more
