Good location. It is not in the center. But it is safe and quiet neighbourhood. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby. Hostel is really clean. Staff are volunteering and they are really friendly. Lockers are really big. Good internet. Good breakfast. Laundry service. If you do exercises, there is a huge back yard. You can enjoy your time there with physical activities. Hot showers. Volunteers make brownies, cakes, alfajors, cookies. Very tasty. 🤤 if you have a car or a motorbike, there is also a garage

A fantastic hostel in walking distance to both the historic centre of town but also to the bus terminal, which makes it great to explore the city and beyond. The rooftop terrace is really nice to spend some time on in the evening and the beds are very comfy. The stand-out of the hostel are all the personal touches by the owner who goes above and beyond to ensure you have a nice stay. I think everyone got a personalised induction to Cuenca, complete with a map for their phone with all the highlights. He was also incredibly helpful in planning trips outside of town and what I need to call out is that I had forgotten something in the hostel, which he then ensured would reach me while I had travelled on to Peru by bringing it to the bus station and organising it would be taken on the bus - that was incredibly lovely, nothing I would ever expect and so much appreciated. So thanks for a fantastic stay!

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.
