This charming boutique hotel is ideally located in the heart of Cuenca. The breakfast offered is a delightful selection of freshly baked bread, juice, fruit, eggs, and a choice of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. In addition, the quality of the staff is exceptional across the board. They are courteous, cultured, and highly educated, consistently demonstrating professionalism and a genuine willingness to assist. Their command of the English language is impressive, further enhancing the overall experience.

Beautiful old colonial home converted into a boutique hotel. It is quaint and affordable, but don't confuse it with their main Santa Isabella Boutique Hotel which is a major cut above.

The hotel is located in a good neighborhood in the downtown area of Cuenca, it was safe and we were able to walk and go shopping without any fear. The breakfast was excellent and the service was right on point. Darwin and Cristina were very helpful with information about the area. I will definitely stay in this hotel again.
