    unbearable noise
    weak wi-fi

    So I was expecting a stellar experience, but alas, I barely survived the noise looming like a nightclub and the Wi-Fi was basically a myth. Plus, at the very least, I thought I'd woudl ve been given a complimentary upgrade for all my troubles-no such luck! I just couldn't leave a glowing review after that.

    The venue was impeccably clean and the staff were very friendly and amicable. The bathroom in my double room was fairly clean. The location was perfect in the center of the city. Fast food restaurant Wendy's was located 10 minutes walk away...

    beautiful garden
    missing television

    charming stay with warm hospitality

    I was welcomed by Señora da Costa's radiant smile and delicious vegan breakfasts, accompanied by the soothing sounds of nature in the beautiful garden courtyard.

    The lack of a television in my room felt unusual at first, but it quickly became a minor detail in the grand scheme of a nice stay.

    It's exceptionally comfortable place to stay 1 mile away from a culture museum. The staff are very very helpful and excellent, managed the parking nearby. The room is stylish and big with a good bed and pillows. The hotel has a very central location super close to everything you want. As for me the food is good, and they have variety of meals. Thank you for a perfectly pleasant stay...

    The hotel was placed in the very central location next to a church. I had coffee at Chocolate de Palo, located within 5 minutes walk.

    cute staff

    We loved the vibrant atmosphere and cute staff. The hotel's location is fantastic, situated near the river yet so quiet. The breakfast was a highlight too, generous portions that fueled us for our daily explorations!

    fine courtyard
    artistic touches
    unbearable noise

    What a gem! I adored the fine courtyard vibe and the artistic touches everywhere. Perfect location for exploring, too!

    But oh dear, come nightfall, the noise from nearby nightclubs hit like a surprise drum solo! Sleep? More like a faint wish!

    The rooms were clean and comfy, and the location was perfect-so close to the center yet calm. Every morning, janetcita treated me to a delicious vegan breakfast. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the staff seemed like family!

    lovely courtyard
    dedicated staff
    limited breakfast
    no television

    The lovely courtyard is a peaceful escape, and the dedicated staff enhances the experience with their hospitality. While the breakfast variety could improve, it remains a good start to the day. My room, although lacking a TV, was impeccably clean and comfortable, making it easy to relax.

    delicious breakfast
    noisy weekends
    small room

    Charming stay with delicious amenities

    I loved my time at this cozy hotel where the clean rooms paired perfectly with fresh, warm blankets, made for a good sleep. Every morning, I was treated to a sumptuous breakfast that was tailored to my vegan preferences, thanks to Janetcita's attention. The beautiful courtyard, bursting with flowers, offered a serene escape amidst Cuenca's bustling charm. It did get quite loud on weekend nights due to nearby nightlife.
