A Casa Naranja Reviews

Great location (can walk everywhere), well-kept old building with cute courtyard, very spacious room, relatively quiet at night. Cautions: I had one nice, warm shower, and one freezing cold shower. Also, the floors were a bit dusty.

The rooms are very stylish and clean, but sometimes there was no hot water.

the staff were extremely nice but the shower and toilet were outside and the bed was up such steep stairs that going to the toilet in the night didnt make for a great experience. the PC and wireless dont work either. great location though.

To sum it up I left a day early. La senora, the owner was rude. The shower head fell off on my partners head and it took 2 days to fix it. There was no hot water in our room or the room next door which they offered to us for showering. The young lady who served us breakfast was very nice but her boss made things difficult. I would never stay there again and I certainly would not recommend it..

decent- but make sure you bring a 3 plug converter; could not find a grounded outlet in the place. no internet in the rooms but main common rooms aren't too bad to hang out in.

The location is excellent! One block away from one of the main streets. Everything within walking distance. My room and bathroom were large and comfortable, very clean. The price is unbeatable! The house is cozy and artsy. Great for a short stay. The one drawback is the very simple breakfast: coffee, bread and marmalade. Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed my stay in beautiful Cuenca and the affordable price of Casa Naranja made it all even more special. Thank you to the family who runs it!

We really enjoyed our stay here,fab location, lovely house. The rooms are all different with a quirky twist. Good brekkie with great coffee. Really good friendly helpful staff here,we luved it here,would defo recommend it

Casa Naranja is a piece of art and great personal commitment. Every room is unique and a synthesis of colonial heritage, handicraft and modern art. I loved it and felt i wanted to spend at least one night in every single room. It's a colonial house, and hasn't lost a bit of its character. I really don't understand the unfair and ignorant reviews I read online. If you want US mainstream, go to Miami or Cancun!! But if you have a sense for culture and lifestyle, Casa Naranja is your place to go!

If you're not intrested in a hot shower or a room-cleaning then this hostel has a lot of character and is in a good location. Cuenca is full of hostels that looked very nice... go somewhere else is my recommendation.

Room is locked by a small padlock, very cold at night. Staff don't speak any english so it helps to speak fluent spanish. The legendary rooster started crock a doodle doing bang on 3am... Every 5 minutes untill 8am. We had the same experience of the hostel being completely empty, and as soon as we checked in all the lights were turned off which gave the place a really creepy feel.
