"I stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment and had a wonderful time with my daughter. The place is beautiful, just like the pics. I loved the balcony (even though I didn’t enjoy it because we were always out, it was nice to have). The location was perfect. You can walk to historic district, local market, the park. The best part was having a washer/dryer. I love being able to come home with clean clothes."

Oro Verde Cuenca

10/10 Excellent

"Clean muy limpio el hotel me encanta"

Hotel Boutique La Ronda by Chat Noir

8/10 Good

"It is a very cute hotel in the center of of Cuenca's historic district close to very good restaurants. The neighborhood is safe and clean. That being said, it is a busy loud area and my room had a street side balcony. So if you have sleep issues this isn't a good choice for you. The amenities were few but I did appreciate being able to refill my water. Also, I found the cats adorable but if you are allergic you need to be aware of them."

Casa Firenza

10/10 Excellent

"What a fantastic hotel! I had an amazing stay and truly enjoyed every moment. The rooms were beautiful, spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The food was delicious, with a great variety of options. The best part was the staff. Every employee was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. They went above and beyond to make sure I had a wonderful experience, and their excellent service made my stay even more enjoyable. The only small issue was that the hallway lights shined into the room at night, making it a little difficult to sleep. Even though there were curtains, they didn’t completely block the light. I hope this can be improved because everything else was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again!"
