Great staff and great location. Wilmer and his staff went above and beyond to make us welcome even made aji for breakfast. Rooms had an old-world charm with modern bathrooms. Located across the plaza from Jodoco brewery, our favorite, was the icing on the cake.

Hotel Azul is in the most historic part of downtown across from lovely Plaza de San Sebastián. If you tell a taxis driver “Plaza de San Sebastián,” that’s all they need to know. Not a lot of traffic on this street but taxis on streets above & below. We stayed 9 nights in this small modest hotel and loved it. The staff is very friendly & helpful. Everything downtown is in easy walking distance & there’s lots to see. First floor is one flight up, but luggage assistance is available.

This was my first visit to Cuenca, and I absolutely loved the city. Hotel Azul de la Plaza was an excellent base to explore the Centro Historico. The room was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and above all, very comfortable. The location really cannot be beat, the price was more than reasonable, and there was parking available in a secure lot. When I come back to Cuenca, I will absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful staff, good area if you want to be in the middle of the life of a busy city. Lovely park across the street. The room I rented faced the park, and each night, to my surprise, there were huge speakers set up for a Zumba class from 8-9. The door on my balcony did not close completely, so the sound came directly in, as did all sounds from the very busy area. Breakfast was good, but it did not show off the wonderful fruits and juices and coffee of Ecuador.
