Great location and funky decor. Different enough to be cool with character. No luxury and kinda cold, so that’s why not 5 stars but excellent for the price.

The staff was excellent, they went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
The breakfast was good, hot and fresh and the coffee was out of this world.
The hotel is older and unique, very clean.
We enjoyed our stay and the price can't be beat.

The property was a little dated and could use an update. The ladies serving breakfast were great, yet the front desk staff were a little reserved. The location can't be beat. You're within walking distance of all sorts of shops and restaurants. And you do get great value for the price.

Little Jewel in the middle of Cuenca!
I came to a conference and the hotel's location was perfect! It was two blocks from everything. Great people and service. Front desk was attentive and the breakfast was very good. Service was wonderful. Room was quiet!

Near the center of the historic district, we could easily walk to all the sites, shops and restaurants from this hotel. What most impressed us was the warm and very helpful staff. They helped us to contact the cab company to look for an item we lost. We really appreciated their support because we are not good Spanish speakers.

The only friendly staff was the girl who did breakfast. The front desk staff couldn’t put their phones down long enough to help. You were locked out and hoped someone was at the desk to let you in. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

The hotel was nice, however they assigned us to the third floor and there was not elevator. Also, they charged us an extra fee because we booked in Expedia.

Worst Experience Ever - Don't waste your time
They promised a airport shuttle pickup. Never came. They promised a late night check-in 9:00 pm no luck. When I arrived at 10:00 pm the front doors were locked. I rang the bell for 10 minutes but no answer. I had to find a taxi and look for a new hotel.

Outstanding value. Comfortable, quiet, simple rooms. Excellent water pressure. Location is terrific, directly across the street from the light rail stop. If arriving in Cuenca by air or bus, simply buy a $1 ride on the tram and disembark at Santo Domingo.
The only exit is the front door, though, and it is locked at night without an attendant, which seems like a fire hazard. I once tried to ring the bell for the night clerk, but there was no response. I opened the door myself by locating the electronic release behind the desk. But if the electricity went out, what would you do?

O hotel tem localizacao excelente, os funcionarios são muito gentis e solícitos e o quarto é bom, mas é GELADO! Eu nem consigo imaginar o que será dos hóspedes no inverno. Então, acaba sendo extremamente desconfortável, não dá para descansar se voce quiser uma pausa no meio do dia, porque é muuuito frio mesmo Além disso, a água do chuveiro demora a esquentar e esfria rápido. Então, acabei ficando doente porque era sair do banho e me sentir gelada, e toda noite era isso. E nem dois cobertores resolveram o problema da gente estar respirando ar frio a noite inteira. Não fosse isso, e o despreparo da recepcionista na hora do checkout, eu até daria uma nota 5.
