The charm of Inca Real lies in it's stellar location in the old Cuenca town and the maintenance of this old house's structure and courtyards. In order to enjoy these, I had cracks in the walls of the room, a dimly lit room, extraordinarily creaky floors, mold-edged and tiny bathroom, a sink too small to work with (I had to... More

Excellent location, 2 blocks from Parque Calderon. Great breakfast buffet. Rooms are fine, but little protection for other guests' noise. Picturesque hotel with three interior courtyard. Do not, however, ask them to arrange transportation to or from the airport. Regular taxi rate is $2.50 to $3 (always ask before you get into taxi!); they charged us $10 from airport; we... More

I booked a single room and was assigned to patio B. When the staff escorted me to my room, the door was open, the bed was not made and there was rubbish in the bin. Obviously, the cleaning staff hadn't got round to cleaning my room but the bell boy just dropped my bags and said welcome and left. Strange.... More

From Jan 9th thru the 14th we stayed at the Inca Real. The room was comfortable, common areas bright and airy and a very good breakfast was included in the rate. All of the staff was friendly and helpful, especially Emma at the front desk and Fiorita our housekeeper. They both made us feel at home. We ate at the... More

Beautiful old colonial hotel, very conveniently located near cathedral. The building has three patios, each different in style and equally pretty. Nice bar/restaurant. Good breakfast, although insufficient tables. However our room was very small and considerably smaller than shown in any of the photos. We barely had room for our suitcase. It was oddly decorated with a very badly painted... More

This is a lovely hotel right in the heart of old Cuenca. The pictures of the common areas of the hotel are realistic, though our room was considerably smaller (though attractive) than the one or ones pictured. But the staff was super-helpful (and good in English), and the breakfast was nice, with some choice. The tapas restaurant associated with the... More

quaintly restored, without over doing the decoration (not so much the case in other restored hotels...), very helpful staff, good spanish (basque) tapas restaurant as part of hotel

We liked the location of this hotel, in the heart of Cuenca and the old colonial style is great to stay in, but it can be noisy. They should have signs up to ask people to respect the other guest in the hotel. Some people forget they are sharing a hotel with others. It's the late at night or early... More

I stayed at the Inca Real early this month (March 2012) and only stayed for one night as we short on time. I am glad we chose this hotel because it was only a few blocks away from the major attractions in the historical center. The hotel has lots of charm with its colonial architecture and small patios that divide... More
