Excellent service, the meals were yummy. This hotel is located in the downtown of Cuenca, so near the hotel is the main cathedral and park, the old cathedral, museums, plazas, etc. Every morning I walked in the surraundings, everything is close to the hotel. Also, the location of thehotel is excellent for taking photos.

Stayed in this hotel before with my tour groups. The location is great and the service is super. They looked after us very well, even when we ended up having to stay for lunch at short notice they arranged a meal that was delicious. We were all happy with our rooms, nice, quiet and comfy beds but I do think... More

This was the best hotel of our 2 week stay in Ecuador. The king bed and sheets were fabulous. Very modern bathroom. Agree with other reviewer that the space between the desk and bed was tight, but this was a minor problem. Safe in room was an added benefit as they're few and far between in Ecuador hotels. Breakfast buffet... More

The breakfast buffet far surpused expectations, Staff was extremely helpful and most understood and spoke English. The room I had offered no space around the desk and bed to use the chair provided, seemed crowded. Room was very clean, make sure to keep detailed records on your use of the mini-bar to expedite check-out. For the value and considering cost... More
