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.

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.

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.
