Customer Reviews
“ The rooms were clean and pretty updated. But what made this hotel the best was the staff and the breakfast. Andres was great with the service and recommendations. There was also a younger girl at the front desk I didn't get her name but she was very helpful with arranging transportation. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service ”
“ Furnishings are dated and the bathtub is too high and slippery. Other than that, it is a good place. Don't pay the rate listed on-line. ”
“ Nice hotel and great location. Clean, comfortable rooms. Staff is very helpful and kind. If you travel by car, hotel arranges parking for you. However, you may need to consider that it's an additional cost since hotel does not have own parking space. ”
“ This is a great hotel to stay in, for a number of reasons. After a very comfortable night's sleep and a great breakfast, you can step out of a very modern hotel in to a mixture of modern and old. You can see local people dressed in cloths that reflect their past and heritage. In the street traffic there passing by is the modern light rail train, quite cleen no smelly fumes, what a contrast. We stayed a week here and enjoyed what they had to offer, very nice restaurant, bar and coffee shop. The staff were there and very responsive to our needs. Just a few points that could be improved, the bathroom getting in and out of the bath/shower for people of our age, there needs to be a step outside of the bathtub and an additional grab handle. We drive an electric vehicle, we live on the coast which means we could get to Cuenca, but we could not get back to the coast, need EV charging not just for me, but also to attract other environmental minded people and increase business. ”
