Although the location is great, the hotel needs attention. I am not sure if the staff are overworked but they were nice some days and some others no so much. The offer a safety box in the room but there was nothing secure about it, anybody can easily walk away with the whole thing. I would not stay again.

Good mid-priced hotel

My first time staying here. Wonderful helpful staff. The location is great, in the heart of El Centro with the Tranvia at your doorstep. The breakfast was excellent with many choices both hot and cold, lots of fresh fruit. There is parking available 1/2 block away, at $14.00 per day. Strongly recommend.

I paid over a $100 per night during the city festivities. Completely overpriced. The hotel is older, the hallway carpets should be replaced. The rooms were clean and the mattress was good, but I was a bit sad with the overall experience. The hotel needs an urgent renovation.

Ok but not great

The Hotel itself is in a good location near the city center. There was some road construction in front of the hotel, but not their fault. The biggest drawback was the amount of noise coming from outside. They need better (soundproof) windows. All in all, OK for the price, but it could be better.

Well located but pretty run down

I stayed at this hotel many years ago, probably some 16 or 18 years ago, back then the property was in a much better shape than what I found this time round. Much money needs to be invested to bring it back to shape; though it is pretty inexpensive, you can opt for more well kept inexpensive places in Cuenca for the same cost.
