The room was clean and well maintained. The staff were courteous and most bi-lingual.They provided an environment that made me feel quite at home.and were extremely helpful when... More

I enjoyed my stay there. It had a wonderful view of the river which I just loved. The staff was very freindly. At the time the cost was reasonable as I only payed 30.00 a day. I also had hot water and my own room and private bathroom. I stayed for 2 weeks. There was a complimentary breakfast. There was... More

They messed up our reservation, they didn't know what to do.. but it was all paid for already! They put us all in one room when we had 2 rooms, and it was uncomfortable to share only one bathroom between 6 people. The queen bed was okay but the bunk beds where awfull! Good breakfast, but i wouldn't go back... More

I´ve spent three nights at the Villa Nova Inn enjoying my time in room # 12. It seems to be the best room: huge windows you can open, rushing Rio Tomebamba right in front and lots of space. The only odd thing was the wardrobe placed in the bathroom - thankfully I´m a midrange backpacker and never depend on wardrobes... More

The Villa is very conveniently, and beautifully located on the river across from Cuenca U. Every morning in Cuenca we started with a breakfast overlooking the river and watched the runners and joggers on the loop by the Uni. We met new friends over breakfast and learned a lot about local events from the friendly staff. The Villa is clean,... More

Villa Nova has a great location, and friendly English speaking staff. We had a great room overlooking the river, but we did notice that some rooms had no windows so check this out before you book. Good value for money - clean, efficient service and good breakfasts.

Affordable with a great location on Rio Tomebamba. This was base camp for me while I studied Spanish for two months. Convenient to eatery, entertainment and shopping. Terrific staff!!

I stayed for 2 weeks while I explored Cuenca. The staff is great and the price is awesome value. I had a room with a view of the river that also had a small balcony.

Find out what room you'll be in and ask for a detailed description. We were in #2 - first floor and all foot traffic into the hotel passed right in front of our window. Some mold issues in the room, too - bad for those sensitive to it. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke English... More

We were under the impression that this was a nice hotel in the moderate price range. What we found were basic rooms with only beds and no other furnishings. None of the rooms had heat, and it was quite chilly when we were there. There was no place to hang anything either. The beds and the pillows were both worn,... More
