My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, although a bit small. The lounge area, however, made up for it with its coziness. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful during our entire stay, making us feel right at home. The central location was a major advantage, allowing us to easily explore the city's attractions. The dining experience was good, with fresh and excellent options available.

The hotel has a nice and charming traditional feel in the lobby. The rooms are traditionally decorated, full of character, but could be improved by having windows with views instead of a roof. The location is perfect for exploring Cuenca, very central and within walking distance of all the main attractions. The dining experience offers good and plentiful options with friendly staff. The facilities are adequate but could use some modernization.
