Very nice room, although my traveling companion ended up with a room with bath which could only be accessed from the balcony. Beautiful patios, however, the noise from those using them echoed throughout the facility. My room was large and spacious. A very good value. Very simple breakfasts were pleasant. Cuenca is quite small and walking around is easy.

I stayed in two different rooms for a total of six days. Despite heavy traffic in the street outside none penetrated inside. The staff were unfailingly helpful, attentive, courteous and friendly without ever being obtrusive. The service was what one might expect paying much more. Rooms and beds were clean and comfortable and cleaned with fresh soap, towels and hand... More

We have spent night in Hostal Macondo. Unfortunately we got a room with window to the patio / hall, so the room itself was big but very dark and at the morning the noise from the hall and reception woke me up. Room was clean, bathroom as well, but the shower would need some renovation. Continental Breakfast = bread and... More
