Top Principal Hotel Reviews

TRYP by Wyndham Cuenca Zahir

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable hotel"

Hotel & Suites El Quijote

8/10 Good

"Muy lugar, el staff muy amable. Cerca de muchos lugares, fácil de llegar"

Vaway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good and friendly"

Mansión Alcázar Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"El staff fue súper amable. La habitación muy limpia. Desayuno buffet muy variado. Excelente todo. Volveré definitivamente."

Hotel Boutique Santa Lucia

8/10 Good

"Our experience was very good. However, the only issue we encountered was the strong kerosene smell on the third floor. The heating lamps located in the interior patio-which at night also operates as a restaurant, where the food is excellent, by the way- emit a very intense kerosene or gasoline odor, and because the patio has a covered roof, the smell ends up accumulating on the third floor."

NASS Central Garden

10/10 Excellent

"Agradable ambiente para pasar en familia de tipo colonial, limpio y personal amable"

Casa Firenza

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stayed at this hotel, highly recommended it if you’re traveling to Cuenca, Ecuador"

NASS Loft Atahualpa

8/10 Good

"Excelente servicio y ubicación para poder conocer el centro de Cuenca a pie."
