Cuenca Hostels

I've been in Cuenca around 10 times already and been to at least 8 different hotels and airbns, but Selina Cuenca is just perfect. The location of the hotel is the best, you are two steps away from cuenca old town, in front of the river, you cross the river through the multiple bridges and bam you are in the downtown cuenca. The hotel is beautiful, rooms, terrace, everything.

We stayed 4 nights at the Santa Lucia House-Forum. We hotel is located in El Centro a short walk from Parque Calderon, the blue domed “new” cathedral and great restaurants. Each morning Christina greeted us with hot coffee, fresh juice, fruit and cooked to order eggs and helped us plan our day’s activities. It is close to the Tranvia. The room was clean, nicely done and quiet( we were at the back of the hotel, off the street. The interior common area were spotless and comfortable. The rates were very reasonable, the hotel property was very nice and it was great value Kudos to Christina- We will stay here again-

After a stressful drive from Guayaquil, we arrived to friendly, welcoming staff, delicious snacks, and hot tea. In our room there was a personalized card from the general manager and a beautiful spread of desserts. The hotel also went out of their way to accommodate a playpen and blanket for our 7 month old which she surprisingly slept amazingly in every night. We were able to see the river from our window which was very peaceful. The hotel is very quiet and relaxing. Although it was a short trip, we truly enjoyed our stay at Oro Verde Cuenca and are already planning our return!

We picked this hotel for the location and great reviews. The location is good, but the customer service at the front desk is very bad. First, at checkin they could not find my reservation until I provided a printed copy. Then the person replies “Oh, you booked thru the website.” Like that’s different from the usual way??? I don’t know. We go to our room, it’s nice, but the lamp on one side only works if you find the correct position for the cord. We see a bracket on the ceiling for a smoke alarm, but no smoke alarm. The safe in the closet is locked. On our way out to dinner, we stop at the front desk and ask them to unlock the safe while we are out to dinner. He says he will do it ‘right away’. I also ask about laundry service, and the front desk person says there is a price sheet in the closet. We thank them and leave for dinner. We return to our room after dinner. Safe is still locked. The guy at the front desk sees us return, and suddenly remembers he was going to unlock our safe “right away.” He comes up, unlocks the safe and leaves. There are no instructions to set a code, and setting a code is different from safes I’ve used in other hotels. I look for the laundry price list. Nope, nowhere in the closet. I hike back down to the front desk and try to explain there is no laundry price sheet in the closet. He follows me back up to the room, looks in every drawer in the closet. No price sheet. He tracks one down for me. Yes, these are minor inconveniences, and they were addressed (finally) but at unnecessary inconvenience to us. Thus the 3 star review. Hope other guests have a better experience than I did in my first two hours at this hotel.

Aleros is situated in the historic center of Cuenca, so you can reach most interesting places on foot. There is a beautiful patio in the building, and the rooms are spacious and cozy. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They serve a simple, but good breakfast. Although it was written on the website, there was a laundry service available, that was not the case. But there’s a laundry place just down the street, so no problem.

Das Hotel ist nett und das Personal ist sogar nett. Als wir zuerst angekommen waren, war unser Zimmer direkt unter dem Nachtclub, aber wir wurden in der gleichen Nacht in ein viel besseres Zimmer verlegt. Das Personal war auch sehr hilfsbereit und professionell. Das Restaurant machte erstaunliche Mahlzeiten und die Lage des Hotels war in 5 Minuten Taxifahrt zu allen Einkaufs- und Restaurants, die Sie je wünschen. Es gibt viel zu sehen und zu tun in Cuenca, so ist dies ein Ort, an dem wir zurückkehren.

Das Hotel Boutique Santa Lucía ist ein ehemaliges Kolonialhaus des 19. Jahrhunderts, so dass die Einrichtungen den Luxus und Charme eines alten Hauses mit dem Komfort des 21. Jahrhunderts vermischen. Das Hotelpersonal bietet hervorragende Service an der Frontdesk, Restaurant und Bar. Ich empfehle dieses Hotel im Herzen von Cuenca.
