“Noisy at night and could be cleaner”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2007

Stayed for two nights in one of the rooms next to the garden.
There is no doubt that this hotel/hostal is one of the "in" places in Cuenca. The staff are friendly and food good, the nightclub starts early evening and continues till 3 or 4 in the morning. Music reverberates through all rooms all night then at 6am the nearby church bells start half hourly for the rest of the day. The rooms were not the cleanest and the linen could of done with a clean

Stayed July 2007

“Fun hostel with excellent cafe”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2007

person found this review helpful

Lovely cafe with excellent vegetarian food, well-priced (try the wonderful pancakes...the best I've ever had, and I loved the te helado as well) and comfy rooms. We had a private double room with shared bath for $10 pp. I loved it and would stay there again. Conviently located, very hip crowd in the cafe at night (and they accepted me, as un-cool as they come, or at least didn't seem put-out that I was not hip!)) Good art work and delicious deserts.

  • Liked — excellent cafe, good prices
  • Disliked — shower room closed during the day (it has a hostel and private rooms with shared baths)
  • Stayed December 2006, travelled as a couple
