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.

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.

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?
