Top Cuenca Historic Center Hotel Reviews

Vaway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente ubicación y servicio."

Hotel Boutique Santa Lucia

10/10 Excellent

"Old world charm in the historic center. Excellent coffee in the room and a chocolate on the bed each evening. Also a great buffet breakfast with local fresh fruit. High end l'Occitane bath products.This hotel pays attention to detail and we felt well cared for. Cuenca flows with mountain springs but we advise drinking only bottled water. A wonderful place to stay!"

Mansión Alcázar Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at Mansión Alcázar in Cuenca, and the experience genuinely stayed with me. After a long day of travel involving buses, taxis, shuttles, heat, and exhaustion, I arrived tired and overwhelmed. The very first thing they offered me was a warm towel. That small gesture meant more than I can adequately explain. It immediately shifted the experience from “transaction” to “hospitality.” I had also been unexpectedly upgraded to a much larger room than the one I originally booked. The room itself was beautiful, quiet, elegant, and deeply calming, but what impressed me most was the feeling behind everything. Nothing felt cold or corporate. The hotel felt crafted rather than processed. One detail that particularly struck me was the room key. Instead of a generic plastic card, it was attached to a large, weighty medallion marked with my room number. It may sound small, but it completely changed the emotional texture of the stay for me. It felt intentional. Memorable. Human. Throughout my stay, the staff were warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere carried a sense of dignity and calm that is increasingly rare. I have stayed in many hotels over the years, but this was one of the few places that made me pause and truly feel cared for. Thank you for such a memorable stay."

ITZA Hotel Boutique Internacional

10/10 Excellent

"The staff upon arrival was welcoming and attentive. The hotel is stunning and well maintained. The room was spacious and very well decorated with high end finishes. The bed was comfortable and the pillow choices were a nice touch. The bathrobes and slippers were appreciated after a nice hot shower with great water pressure. The rooftop restaurant has great views and food with an attentive staff. The breakfast in the morning in the downstairs restaurant was also great with huge portions. They even arranged a private car to take us back to Quito and we were very happy with how he drove and the car was very comfortable and clean. We plan on returning to Cuenca regularly and this will be our go to place to stay."

Santa Lucia Suites - Barranco

10/10 Excellent

"Overlooked the Tomebamba River and was very relaxing. It was advertised as a studio but it was actually a one bedroom/ 2 bath unit with open kitchen and living area plus a nice balcony. There was a coffee shop/ cafe next door that was also nice and the employees were always helpful and the food was good."
