Great location and funky decor. Different enough to be cool with character. No luxury and kinda cold, so that’s why not 5 stars but excellent for the price.

Worst Experience Ever - Don't waste your time

They promised a airport shuttle pickup. Never came. They promised a late night check-in 9:00 pm no luck. When I arrived at 10:00 pm the front doors were locked. I rang the bell for 10 minutes but no answer. I had to find a taxi and look for a new hotel.

The only friendly staff was the girl who did breakfast. The front desk staff couldn’t put their phones down long enough to help. You were locked out and hoped someone was at the desk to let you in. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

The hotel was nice, however they assigned us to the third floor and there was not elevator. Also, they charged us an extra fee because we booked in Expedia.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Outstanding value. Comfortable, quiet, simple rooms. Excellent water pressure. Location is terrific, directly across the street from the light rail stop. If arriving in Cuenca by air or bus, simply buy a $1 ride on the tram and disembark at Santo Domingo. The only exit is the front door, though, and it is locked at night without an attendant, which seems like a fire hazard. I once tried to ring the bell for the night clerk, but there was no response. I opened the door myself by locating the electronic release behind the desk. But if the electricity went out, what would you do?

The property was a little dated and could use an update. The ladies serving breakfast were great, yet the front desk staff were a little reserved. The location can't be beat. You're within walking distance of all sorts of shops and restaurants. And you do get great value for the price.
