This is definitely a very nice 3 star property, with super, friendly, welcoming staff and in a pretty good location, but there are some issues that make it slightly tricky to give a glowing review. It is a relatively easy walk into the main heart of Cuenca, taking no more than 20-30 minutes depending on your pace and it does seem very safe.
There is a lovely lounge which serves tea, coffee, fruits and cake 24/7, which is a nice way to relax and to meet fellow travellers. The breakfast is served in a nice, airy atrium dining room and there's a good choice of cooked eggs, toast/bread, cereals, yogurt, juice (made with water), fruit, ham, cheese, coffee, tea, chocolate etc., all the basic staples.
The rooms are spotlessly clean and although sparse, certainly comfortable. However, there is absolutely no sound proofing of any kind as it's just bare boards separating the rooms and the downstairs, once breakfast starts gearing up, you may as well be trying to sleep in the kitchen or the dining room. You will hear EVERYTHING.
The linens and bedding are clean, but you will need the blankets and down that is provided as there's no heating of any kind and Cuenca is not the warmest spot, even in summer. There's no aircon either, but you can open the windows. The bathrooms is brand new and there's good water pressure. There's soap & shampoo provided, but towels are not changed every day. The towels were actually really old and very badly stained.
