This is a hostel. We had a room with 3 beds $8/bed with toilet/ shower in the room. Beautiful old building in the quite area 5 min walk from the heart of the city. Clean rooms, very quite, nice garden. There is a kitchen to cook or you can order a basic breakfast. Very friendly personnel. Receptionists do speak English. More

Spent 3 nights here in a room without a bathroom. This was one of my favorite places I stayed in all of Ecuador, and I´m almost sad I didn´t spend much time in the hotel itself. Cuenca can be loud, but I didn´t hear any street noise at all in my room. The interior courtyard and the lobby space were... More

I have stayed in Hostal Macondo on four different occasions and have never been disappointed. Located in the heart of the city in an old colonial period courtyard home, Macondo offers a variety of clean and comfy accommodations - from rooms with private baths to shared dorm rooms or private rooms with shared bathrooms. The social/dining/kitchen is a good gathering... More

Nice hostal with clean, neat rooms. Close to Cuenca's historic center, restaurants and bars. We stayed for two nights in a two bed room. It had a clean bathroom with a hot shower. The weather was a bit chilly but the room had thick blankets on the bed. The reception helped us arrange a tour to Cajas National Park and... More

It is a very nice place to stay, although more expensive than we would usually spend. The rooms on the courtyard at the back were nice and clean, and quiet, away from city noise. There was hot water with enough pressure. The WiFi was good and free. As other reviews mentioned, breakfast was quite small for the price. The accommodation... More

Such a nice place to stay, although a little more than we would usual spend but well worth it. Lovely colonial buidling with lots of character, spotlessly clean and tidy, great chill out areas and the most well equipped kitchen we have ever come across! Highly recommend if you want to step it up a level. More

I stayed here this week with my partner. The hostel rooms were perfectly nice and the courtyard and building was lovely. We were in a room off of the garden courtyard at the back and I would agree with other reviewers that this is the way to go. It was very quiet and we had a great sleep. I would... More

When my wife and I travel to new places, we often spend hours seeing a half a dozen different hotels before making a decision. We are looking for something clean, homey, quiet, and inexpensive. We found that all at Hostal Macondo. I think we paid around 30.00. We had a room in the back off the garden. It was a... More
