Room large and clean. Three blocks away from the cathedral, so it is not in the middle of the center. They provide free tea in the kitchen,and you can use the shared refrigerator for keeping some food. There is no inetrnet in this hostel although they say there is. There is one very old laptop which they permit limited 30... More

Very nice hostal. Huge room for thé 3 of us. Only reason I gave 4 is because they did not warn us thé bathroom was shared before we arrived. Very quiet from 10 pm to 7 am. Nice location, 10 minutes walk from thé cathedral nueva. Safe to walk at night.

I stayed in two different rooms for a total of six days. Despite heavy traffic in the street outside none penetrated inside. The staff were unfailingly helpful, attentive, courteous and friendly without ever being obtrusive. The service was what one might expect paying much more. Rooms and beds were clean and comfortable and cleaned with fresh soap, towels and hand... More

We have spent night in Hostal Macondo. Unfortunately we got a room with window to the patio / hall, so the room itself was big but very dark and at the morning the noise from the hall and reception woke me up. Room was clean, bathroom as well, but the shower would need some renovation. Continental Breakfast = bread and... More

Overall, this was my favorite hotel of two that I stayed in while in Cuenca. It was the less expensive and had fewer amenities. We rented a suite so we had a stove and refrigerator in our room. Unfortunately, they don't have queen size or larger beds. The desk clerk asked if we wanted a double bed or two single... More

Cuenca is a charming old city and this hostal is good value for the suites. For around $50 dollars a night, you'll get a two beds, an insuite kitchen, a dining table, and a adjoining bathroom. While it is cheaper for the bedrooms with shared bathrooms, the suite is perfect for families and it saved us money because we could... More
