from the time we checked in we asked about the work being done on the hotel.we were told it would be over by 4:00pm .not so it lasted untill 7:00pm,and started again at 6:00am we checked out .as far as sleep no such luck the street sounds were so bad if you were in the room or in the street it was the same.if you think about stayinh here you should be as high up in the hotel as you can.also think about eatting outside the hotel

Been in Cuenca for awhile. Stayed at a few places and in my opinion, this hotel is so far ahead of every other place here, it should be tops on everyones list.

Great rooms, fabulous service, terrific location, delicious made-to-order breakfasts and a staff that cannot do enough to make your stay wonderful. If the rooms were cardboard boxes in an alley, everything else is so good, I'd probably stay here anyway.

Most hotels i have visited in South America have good service. Here it is raised to an art form. Ask for something and it's done now, not today or tomorrow.

Does the hotel have that rustic feel?
No. It's modern with all the amenities one might need. Gym, massage, steam room, restaurant, bakery, meeting rooms, WiFi, elevators, computers for guests and
so on.

Stay here and you will be thrilled you did!

The Hotel El Dorado is nicely located three blocks away from the cathedral. All Restaurants are within walking distance and even if it is raining the taxi is really inexpensive.
The restaurant integrated in the hotel serves decent food for very good money. There is also a bakery within the restaurant which serves delicious bread.
What I really enjoyed was the hospitality of the staff, all very customer orientated. En espanol muy amable.
Free Internet Wifi and a good breakfast round up the product.
The rooms are a little old fashion but absolutely clean and acceptable.
A defined recommendation :-)

We stayed in a room towards the back of the hotel. It was quiet and spacious- plenty of room for a pack-n-play and lots of space for 2 kids playing. The location is just 2 blocks from the main plaza so we were within walking distance to almost everything we wanted to see (churches, flower market, artisan market, museums). The hotel breakfast buffet was delicious and my kids loved sitting in the restaurant, with floor to ceiling windows, watching the morning bustle . There is a great ice cream & sandwich shop (Nice Cream, maybe?) right across from the New Cathedral...check it out!
