Directly in Cuenca el centere. Perfect for walking. Go to the street vendors and grab some authentic Ecuadorian street food in the evening. Very friendly staff. Building was well kept and clean though a bit noisy. Beautiful old hardwood floors announced every visitor.
There is on-site parking for about $4 overnight. A lovely light breakfast was provided

They advertise on Expedia as self parking with a maximum cost of $6 per day, but then when you get there you find out that if you move the car in and out during the day then you will be charged the garage’s regular rate of two dollars per hour and so they tell you if you buy parking slips from one of the vendors on the street and take your car out of the garage by 8:30 am and park on the street then it will only cost you one dollar for two hours. Then you wait until 8 pm at night to put the car back into the garage where you can then leave it until 8:30 am again at $4 for the night. The garage is owned by a separate company that wants to make regular money during the day and it has only a few spaces so they would prefer if you remove it during the day. So overall you are spending your whole day trying to manage your car and looking for parking. There is a sense of desperation and lack of finances. On Sunday morning there was a change of staff who arrived late to make the breakfast and acted like they did not want to be there.

We stayed in the Azul room with balcony, which was nice. Although we could hear people in the hallway and going up the stairs, we didn’t hear anyone else when they were in their rooms, not even the family with a baby.
Breakfast was simple and a nice way to start the day.
One problem with our room was a broken latch on the balcony door, so we heard street noise all night.
My only other criticism was the $15 charge for pickup from the airport, which is less than 5 minutes from the hostal. We also had to leave at 6am, and the receptionist said she arranged a taxi to pick us up, but after waiting until 6:10, we finally walked to the corner and hailed our own taxi. Overall, not a bad place to stay.

Very welcoming property

This is definitely a very nice 3 star property, with super, friendly, welcoming staff and in a pretty good location, but there are some issues that make it slightly tricky to give a glowing review. It is a relatively easy walk into the main heart of Cuenca, taking no more than 20-30 minutes depending on your pace and it does seem very safe.

There is a lovely lounge which serves tea, coffee, fruits and cake 24/7, which is a nice way to relax and to meet fellow travellers. The breakfast is served in a nice, airy atrium dining room and there's a good choice of cooked eggs, toast/bread, cereals, yogurt, juice (made with water), fruit, ham, cheese, coffee, tea, chocolate etc., all the basic staples.

The rooms are spotlessly clean and although sparse, certainly comfortable. However, there is absolutely no sound proofing of any kind as it's just bare boards separating the rooms and the downstairs, once breakfast starts gearing up, you may as well be trying to sleep in the kitchen or the dining room. You will hear EVERYTHING.

The linens and bedding are clean, but you will need the blankets and down that is provided as there's no heating of any kind and Cuenca is not the warmest spot, even in summer. There's no aircon either, but you can open the windows. The bathrooms is brand new and there's good water pressure. There's soap & shampoo provided, but towels are not changed every day. The towels were actually really old and very badly stained.

My home in Cuenca

I felt very much at home in Casa de las Rosas, a small hotel with a friendly staff that felt at times like a private club. It was within walking distance or a $1.50 taxi to the bus station for excursions to Ingapirca and Cajas National Park. Although I wasn't crazy about the location at first, as I became more adept at getting around I realized that I could easily get where I wanted to go and bypass the noise and congestion. And it was close enough to walk to Fabiano's for a takeout lasagne.

I will never book 4 stars after this 3 star

I have always stayed in high end hotels while traveling, a very different experience--there, you (the travelers) are anonymous, you have to lock up everything you own in a safe, etc. So this is my first experience (after 40 years of high end) staying in what could be described as a \"pension\"--locked room with large bed (with updated bathroom and excellent hot water every morning, very strong and did not run out), daily maid service, free breakfast every morning (eggs cooked to order plus cereal, yoghurt, fruits, tortas (pies) and traditional Spanish breakfast items like jamon, salchicha and queso (ham, sausages and local cheese), plus white and wheat bread.

There were two things here that made me change my mind completely about never to use 4 stars again: The people here were like family, they really went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and had whatever I needed, even to running errands for me at times they thought it was too risky for a gringa to be outside alone. They pointed me toward all Cuenca's attractions, and made sure I was savvy about the city itself. They told me where not to go, and got taxis for where I did go (and haggled with the driver over prices in advance and told me what the maximum payment should be)--it was very important to them that I not get the \"gringo prices.\" Also, for the entire week, I never locked up a single thing--Mac laptop and iPhone, kindle, cash, passport etc--I left it all behind in the room and never worried.

For me, it's a three and a half

Stayed there twice. The staff is really nice. My second stay was better than my first. During my first stay, they put me in a room with two beds (although I had booked a room with one bed, a \"Matrimonial\"), and the mattress was rock hard - and I mean rock hard. I've stayed in places in Northern Thailand with hard beds, but there I could sleep relatively well - not here. I insisted on a room with one bed for my second stay there and I can tell you that the bed was a thousand times more comfy. Breakfast simple but adequate and well presented, had no problem with hot water or water pressure whatsoever (great shower!), and the place is relatively quiet for this type of structure. Lovely garden/courtyard off the dining area, nice place to catch up on your email correspondence. Unfortunately, as previous reviewers have pointed out, the Internet is very finicky and unreliable, you need to constantly ask the staff to reboot the modem (reboot is \"re-iniciar\" in Spanish). Can get frustrating at times. In a nutshell, nice enough place and people, but for the money, I think there are much better options in Cuenca.

Nice place, but beds in twin rooms way too hard

I booked a \"Matrimonial\" room (with one queen bed - the hotels.com site says \"King Bed\", but there is no such thing in that hotel), but was given a room with two beds. The place is clean and conveniently located, and the staff really nice, but I had two looooong nights on a rock-hard mattress. I'm staying there again in two days, they said that I would be given the right room this time and I was assured that the matrimonial rooms with only one queen bed have more comfortable mattresses.

Enjoyed our stay

Casas de las Rosas is a well maintained and charming colonial house that felt much like home away from home during our 4 night stay. Although at the edge ofvthe main city attractions it was easy walking distance to everything. We preferred our location so as to also be able to enjoy observing the daily Cuencan activities in our neighborhood. Between Christmas and New Years costumes, masks, parades, music and general merriment were at hand, and the very near San Blas Church/Plaza seemed especially busy with local family celebration and activity. Our only caution would be after dark when walking to/from Casa de las Rosas to avoid the vicinity of the market square on Gasper Sangurima...it's been noted to be a problem area at night.

After a day of sight seeing it was nice to have a parlour where you could have a nice cup of tea or coffee which you could have with a piece of pie freshly baked or fruit. Every night you get a nice hot water bottle to warm your bed up. The staff made us feel most welcomed and we had the run of the common areas of the hotel.

Upon our arrival once in our room the bed was decorated with two bath robes, rose petals around and scented candles. There was also rose petals on the soap dish by the sink. Oh, before we forget, hot water bottles every night before bedtime. Did it help to soothe the aches and pains.....YES! That was awesome.

Boutique hotel in downtown, historic Cuenca.

What we liked: 1. A breakfast buffet which included eggs made to order every morning (we ordered scrambled with cheese each morning until our last when I ordered fried - and it came with 2 slices of bacon - I don't know if we could have requested bacon other days? 2. A queen size bed with a good mattress & covers. 3. Evening delivery of 2 hot water bottles in zippered coats - how were they prepared so they stay warm soooo long? 4. Location right downtown - we stayed 3 nights & walked everywhere, & felt very safe even on a 9pm walk back from dinner. 5. I found the staff very helpful & attentive - from carrying heavy bags up 2 flights of stairs & down again, to restaurant recommendations & directions of how to get places. 6. Even though we knew almost no Spanish, & only 1 staff person spoke English, we managed to communicate just fine (one time with the help of a computer translation program).

What we liked less: next door is a motorcycle repair shop by day & a casual restaurant by evening. The noise til 10pm carried the most into our room (I think), which was a suite of the entire 2nd floor, & included a kitchen, sitting area, (another bedroom?) & rooftop terrace. The sound carried to our room via the terrace, but I did not notice the noise when I was in other parts of the hotel. Having the restaurant next door serving traditional food was helpful our last night when hotel staff kindly purchased our plates for us to eat in our room or in the hotel dining area.

Great B&B

Probably one of the best little hotels ever. The owner and all of the help are wonderful and very caring people. It was cold so every night around 9:30 or 10:00 P.M. hot water bottles were distributed to warm up our feet when we got in bed. Breakfast was very nice. Fresh fruits and juices, cereal and eggs and bacon if you so desired, made to order.

Clean Hotel but many problems

The WiFi keep going out or would not reach my room, There was very little water pressure for luke warm water. The bed was like a board. The staff is very friendly though. It was kind of out of the way. At the end of central.

Charming hotel, the owner makes all the difference

This is a charming hotel not too far from the main square in Cuenca. The owner is beyond wonderful, even drove me to the airport. Breakfast is fabulous--with eggs cooked to order. A small hotel run by an Italian couple. It would be my first choice to stay on a return trip. Does not have some of the amenities of a large hotel such as a gym or restaurant, but you'll do enough walking in Cuenca not to need a gym and the owners have a list of restaurants they recommend.

Great Stay at Casa de las Rosas

I would call this hotel a pension in the Italian sense, especially since the owner is Italian. The building is beautiful, a very traditional Cuencan house, with lovely colors. The breakfast they serve is first class. The location is just a block or two off the historic part of town, everything is very walkable. The advantage of being a bit out of the center of the old part of town is that it is very quiet. They bend over backwards to be helpful here, we would definitely go back and stay again.

Great B&B for couples and families

This is a charming little bed and breakfast on the North side of the old city in Cuenca. The hotel owners are a lovely couple who are incredibly welcoming and gracious. My husband and I stayed for two nights and had a great time. Even though it's on the north side, it is still walking distance to a lot of the historic sites in Cuenca.

The rooms are modern and very comfortable. There are a variety of sizes of rooms so it's a great place to come as a single person, couple or even a family. The price also cannot be beat - many similar places in Cuenca are at least $30 more per night.

There is no parking on site, but there is ample street parking and quite a few secure garages within a 2 block radius. Cuenca is such a walkable city that we just put our car in the garage and walked around the entire time.

The breakfast is good, albeit plain - fresh fruit, bread, juice, granola, etc. They also make eggs to order.

The only thing is that there are two rooms facing the street, which could be a problem if you're a light sleeper. If you are a light sleeper, just make sure to ask for an inner facing room and you'll have an incredibly relaxing night.

In general, this was a great place to stay while visiting and I would definitely come back.

The the best place to stay in Cuenca

close to both the airport and downtown but very very peaceful. The hotel is light and airy with 2 courtyards and lots of plants. The breakfast has a very nice selection of fruits, cereals eggs etc and the cake made daily is to die for. Needless to say the staff are very friendly and helpful and can not think of a nicer place to stay, in fact trying to make sure to stay there again before leaving Cuenca.

Auberge qui pourrait avoir du charme mais aucune isolation, personnel durant le weekend peu accueillant et ne communique pas, nous n'avons pas eu d'eau chaude pendant presque 24h...et le petit déjeuner fait vraiment pitié !

Me gustaria sabanas y toallas más nuevas, el olor del agua en mi estadía tenia un olor a azufre, deberían revisarlo. La atención si fue buena, el hotel es bonito y rustico, las televisión mas grandes seria mejor
