Villa Emilia Hostal, hotel in Cuenca

Villa Emilia Hostal is located in Cuenca. Free WiFi access is available. The historic center is 0.9 mi away and Pumapungo Museum is less than 0.6 mi from the guest house.

We have been staying at Villa Emilia for many years now. The place is super clean. They do provide daily room service with towels and make up the beds. We like their breakfast. The staff is super helpful always. On site parking was a plus.it always feels like a home away from home because it’s a small hosteria.. It’s walking distance to great restaurants, a super maxi, and a small mall. we refer them to our friends all the time. We stayed for eight nights this last time due to appointments. I’ve been here in Ecuador for 15 years now.

Everything was perfect. The location is close to the river and the main sites in the historical center. And of course, Franco is very friendly and makes you feel very welcome. I would definitely stay again.

La Casa Azul, hotel in Cuenca

Just a 13-minute walk from Popular Art Museum and 0.7 miles from Straw hat Museum, La Casa Azul features accommodations in Cuenca, with a shared lounge.

Cute little hotel in a convenient location. I could walk 15+ minutes to the historic city center and in the other direction walk to Mirador de Turi. Next to the hotel there is a vegetarian restaurant on one side and evening ice cream shop on the other. I felt safe walking home in the evening down the main road. I had breakfast at the hotel every day — good variety: eggs, fruit, bread. The caretaker Catalina is so kind — made for a warm start to every day.

La Perla Cuencana Hostal, hotel in Cuenca

Just a 4-minute walk from Abdon Calderón Park and 500 yards from Museum of skeletons "Doctor Gabriel Moscoso", La Perla Cuencana Hostal features accommodations in Cuenca, with a shared lounge.

A nice hostel in Cuenca center. The property has good value, the Wi-Fi works great (most of the time) and the hosts are really nice. They really make an effort to serve a plentiful breakfast, especially for the price. The hotel is very close to the tramway, which one can use to get to the bus terminal and the airport.

    Hostal Suite Le Fabrique could not have been better. Great location. Easy walking to everything in Cuenca. Right on the Tranvia lightrail line to the bus terminal and airport. Super quiet. Lovingly decorated rooms/suites and courtyards. Everything is new, modern with a touch of traditional, and immaculate. Franco is a wonderful host who makes you feel like family. Don't miss breakfast. Different every day. Incredible flavors! I would definitely stay here again!

    We really liked our stay in the hostel. The room is comfortable and spacious enough. There is a shared kitchen where you can cook. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, 30min from the terminal and there is a bus '19' passing 2min walk from the hostel that brings you to the city center. The owner even lent us the bus card for few days. Even though they can't speak English or Spanish it is quite easy to communicate with Google Translator. They are awesome hosts and make you feel at home!

    Franco is a great host! He really cares about your comfort and always asks if you need anything at all. The guesthouse is superb! Very cozy and elegant. The food was great, I am a vegan so he adjusted the breakfast accordingly right away. Free good coffee! The location is really nice, you walk to the center in just few minutes (5-10). Atm just around the corner. I loved it and when I go back to Cuenca I will definitely stay there! Gracias Franco!!

    This hostal is so lovely. The building is charming, our room was huge with a lovely balcony overlooking the pretty street below. The host was very friendly and welcoming. Shower was hot. Comfy bed. Quiet which was great for us as a couple.
