    Great hostel with a very nice rooftop and an owner who is very welcoming and goes out of his way for the guests. Not only will he help you with your plans in Cuenca, also for the rest of Ecuador or surrounding countries. Besides that, he really connects travellers, by welcoming them and introducing them to each other. Something I have not often seen before.
