Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Comfortable beds, there were plenty of bathrooms on each floor so were always available. Location was good for walking into town and also the view from the window was great. Nice to have breakfast available at the hostel as well.

    Great location - so close to bus/train station - didn't have to drag our bags up hill to the old town. Easy scenic walk up. Great receptionist - we were able to have our room early and she furnished us with a map and gave us a map and directions to the best way the walk up, what to see and even recommendations for where to eat afterward- most appreciated! Comfy big bed, lovely big clean bathroom and very quiet. And cheap simple brekkie available if you need. Couldn't have asked for more!

    This hostel was perfect for what I needed it for. Staff were friendly and the location was good. There is a kitchen with fridge, kettle microwave etc and plenty on toilets and showers that are all very clean. Would 100% recommend if you need a budget stay in Cuenca.
