Hotel Boutique Santa Lucia
This is one of the best hotels in Cuenca. They put a hot water bottle in your bed. It’s amazing, and there really isn’t service like this in most hotels. Also, the garden is really nice. I will definitely be back.

Amazing place to stay. The staff is really accommodating and friendly. They will try to go out of their way to help you. Stayed in the Jr. Suite, which was spacious and cleaned daily by the staff. There’s two restaurants on site, which offer great food. The included breakfast has many options

Wilmer and Andres are phenomenal hosts - that’s just as honest as it gets. They made sure that all of their guests were treated like family. The warmth of the staff is also a plus and the breakfasts they prepare are superb.
