Nice hostel, chill and super good empanadas! The staff is helpful, kitchen ok for small cooking and nice chill out area in the outdoor terrace. Beds were comfy and maybe 10-15min walk to center. Not very social but good place to sleep and definetly worth the price!

Excellent location, 3mn walk from the cathedral and parque calderon. Very central and easy to walk everywhere from the hostel. Also right next to a tram stop (direct to the bus terminal and airport). Large room with a nice bathroom with hot water, clean, comfortable bed. Very quiet at night. Lastly very friendly owner who knows a lot about the city and gives useful tips.

All hostels in Cuenca

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.

    The best hostel in Cuenca. Very nice staff, good community area. You can speak, see movie, use the kitchen, play games, make music, use the laundry for free. More than worth it.

    I loved this place. The volunteers make it very special. In the evening the hostel jammed together, real hostel experience. Maybe not ideal for people who want a more silent place, but great to connect and meet new people.
