We stayed in this hostal for 1,5 week and we were quite pleased with the place. The city Cuenca is ok, we liked the buildings, being more of a sight then the average contrete waste city or village we see, but the black fumes the city buses pour out on the street and the invading traffic are horrible. Macondo was... More

This hotel is cold, dreary, and we were shuttled around to a different room each night. My wife's cold developed into pneumonia while we stayed there. It's one virtue is that it's cheap, for Cuenca. More

We stayed here four nights and overall the experience was good. We had to switch rooms after two nights (due to not having reservations) from a really big room to a tiny one, both with shared baths. The hostel layout is pretty cool with an indoor courtyard/sitting area and an outdoor one with tables and chairs. You can also use... More

I stayed here for 13 nights ~ one week by myself and six days with my husband. This is a lovely place to stay and great value for the price. My room was in the back so it was quiet; I shared a bathroom with one other person. The hostal is incredibly clean ~ the staff clean the bathroom multiple... 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
