Located in downtown Cuenca, sitting besides a roaring river that runs through town, lies the Victoria, which is truly as it pretty much was so many years ago, however updated to meet the demands of today's traveler. Large comfortable rooms, and an excellent restaurant that offers a wide variety of local goodies, we totally enjoyed our stay here. Definitely a... More

I am very puzzled by all positive reviews for this hotel. Our group booked three rooms for the same price which ranged from OK to outright terrible. One room a window in the hotel hall (?!) and the room's bathtub paint was completely peeled off. The other room was in the basement with little light coming in and stunk. Did... More

We had a two night stay in a very comfortable and quiet room. Outside our window we were able to watch the humming birds fly around, which was a delightful surprise. The breakfast, which was included, was delicious, with the presentation being quite beautiful. Staff and management were very service oriented and went out of their way to be helpful.... More

Spent Christmas in Cuenca with my family. We had rooms 501 and 507 and they were perfect. Beautiful terrace for each room. Hotel was quiet and staff was good. It probably helps to have someone speak fluent Spanish as my daughter does so communication was easy. Only negative was the waiter at dinner was an idiot. He managed to spill... More

Happy to hear you have enjoyed your stay! We have talked to our waiters about the wine incident. We cannot promise you they'll never spill it again, but we're working about how they should act if the tragedy occurs. Thanks for your feedback! Daniel Durán, Owner. More

We arrived at the hotel way before check in at 10:30 am and were told that check in was at 1pm, which was fine with us. We walked around for a few hours and came back at 3pm. We were shown to the room on the third level BELOW the main floor. The room had very low ceiling, dirty carpet,... More

It’s a very comfortable hotel. The bathroom was the best part: spacious, sparkling clean, with a bathtub and immediate hot water (no waiting until it heats up!) The beds are comfortable and spacious and there is a selection of pillows. The hotel has a lovely little garden with chairs and four playful cats. The restaurant serves good yet moderately priced...

Glad you enjoyed your stay. We're sorry about the inconveniences. We talked with our staff about it and, as you'll imagine, their attitude's got a lot to do with language misunderstandings. We are working on it. The charges issue is linked to Ecuadorian Constitutional Law. We'll anticipate it to future guests in the future. Thanks for your feedback! Daniel Durán,... More

Simple, nice and helpful staff.  Good location on Calle Larga...10 minute walk to the main square of Plaza Calderon, but still central with lots of Restuarants and sights around.  Hotel looks down to the River.   Room is very  small and simple..no clock, temperature control, tissues,  nor safe.   Wifi not very strong at all...constantly logged off, but maybe because I was...

Thanks for your feedback, its greatly appreciated. As you see, our nice location can backfire on us during Fridays. One of the shortcomings of being 'close to everything' its that sometimes that wonderful street vibe can translate into noisy nights. Usually, that happens on Fridays (it's unfortunate for us to tell you that Saturdays are quite calmer). We'll address the... More

Hotel Victoria provided great accommodation when we stayed two nights in Cuenca. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The views from the back of the hotel and from the restaurant are very interesting. The breakfasts were sumptuous and artfully presented, and included fresh fruits and fruit juices, eggs made to order, various breads, toasts and jams. The hotel's location... More

The surprise of the hotel for me was that the staff is very kind and doing all they can to make your stay nice. The little kolibri birds in front of the restaurant made me happy. The hotel is in the center of the town so it is easy to have a walk of fivr minutes to the main square... More
