LOVED this hotel! It is conveniently located in the historical section of Cuenca and is a landmark antique building. Well maintained and provided a good place to rest after traversing the city sightseeing. A restaurant is available on site as well as complimentary breakfast that was wonderful. They can also assist you with making plans if needed. Easily walkable to the main plaza near the cathedrals as well as stores and local eateries. There is also a Tranvia (street tram) within a few blocks walking distance that can get you to and from the airport as well as to get out of the area to see other places. Would definitely recommend for the location, beauty of the building itself, and most importantly the very professional and personable people that work there. You cannot go wrong staying here.
