Hostal Hogar Cuencano Reviews

This is one of the worst places we have ever stayed.The 'hostel'(not a hostel,a guesthouse in fact)is OK,the room was so-so apart from the paper thin windows that let every noise from the street in.The staff speak no English which is why,when there were evacuation and police sirens going off in the street,the staff could not tell us what was going on and LOCKED US INTO THE HOSTEL.They did not wait for us when they left and packlocked the front door,there was no other way out.A complete disgrace!

They didn't have the room we booked, but they gave us a better room for the same price. The place is well located and clean. The shared toilets are ok and the wifi works with no problem. I would recommend this place.

Very friendly owner who gave us a free upgrade and is more than happy to answer any questions you might have. Rooms are clean and the beds are nice. Hostel also has a fully equipped kitchen which you can use. Located beside an excellent cafe for breakfast and 7 minutes walk to the historical centre of the city. Highly recommended.

Had a fantastic time, met some great people and had a real fun time. The hostel is in a great location, near the centre of town and bars and clubs are only 2 mins away. Near the river too. The staff are very helpful. Only things that were missing were a few computers and may be a common room...

We had a wonderful stay at the Cuencano Hostal. The staff was so good to us and was on top of everything. The rooms were clean the water was hot and the food was great. Just want to say thank you for everything and making our trip to Cuenca fabulous! Steve, Patrick Ennis

A nice hostel, but lacks a common room or communal area - this is the only real downside. The place next door serves the best breakfast (for me) in South America, and it is within easy walking distance of the main sights. The staff let me check in early and I stayed on late during my last day to catch a night bus - very accommodating! Laundry service on site is good and cheap too.

Very good location, helpful staff, comfortable and cozy matress.

great great great staff...... very clean and very nice......amazing value for the money. and the best shower i had in south america after 5 months...... i never wanted to leave that awesome shower

This hostal is a great place to stay in Cuenca. The location is hard to beat -- just a few minutes walk from nearly everywhere you'd like to be in the centro. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Best of all, the wi-fi is fabulous, some of the best we have experienced in our stays at hostals in Ecuador.

Awesome location and super friendly hosts, comfortable beds and decently fast internet.

Absolutely love this hostel. All the staff was very friendly, it felt somewhat like a homestay experience, where the staff treats you almost like family. The owner, Celso, speaks English and is really nice and friendly. Rooms and bathrooms were clean, not to mention the location was great and very convenient.

We had a great stay in this hostel. Our room was in the backyard, and very quiet. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are cleaned every day. The kitchen is a bit small, if you plan to cook a big meal. But there are good restaurants all over the place. For breakfast, you have the hostal cafeteria next door. The hostal keepers are very friendly. We arrived on Good Friday, and when we asked for information about the 'Fanesca', the "Hostal mother" served us a delicious steaming soup! Thanks!

The kitchen needs to be improved!

the hostel was great, we have nothing bad to say really! the owners where very nice and helped us with everything we needed! also, if you arrive there you must try the great breakfast (muzli!! and amazing coffee!) on the hostel resturant! you won´t be disappointed. ENJOY!

nice quiet place, doesnt have a hostel feeling and no common areas, more like a hotel. it is run by a family, who also lives there and they are very nice people.

I had a great stay in Cuenca at this place. A perfect room, a great location, friendly staff. Highly recommended. Safe, clean, and quiet.

Really lovely hostel, so so clean and witha really central location close to everything including really good cheap food places. Staff are brilliant and speak excellent English so those with no or only a little spanish dont struggle. Also give really good info re buses etc. Cant stress how clean but still homely this place was! Highly recommended

las habitaciones estan bien, al baño le falta mantenimiento

clean, friendly stuff, and good location. it would be perfect if there's a more convenient kitchen.

The hostel is in a really good location and very clean, the women are so kind and helpful. Hot water always. My complain is about that angry man always there who wanted to charge me extra money for using the wi-fi before the check in - the first hostel who asks me for that ever -. Anyway at the check out he charged me $1.70 extra, i don´t know why and i did´t want to ask why , he`s so RUDE.
