Hostels in Cuenca near Cuenca New CathedralHostel

This quiet (as possible) hostal a mere few blocks from the Parque Calderon is full of history and nice people.

Very nice couple who run this place. Didn't get a chance to stay here but were welcomed to store our baggages here for the whole day for $5 while we wait for our night bus. Conveniently located.

Heyho!
Last month I've spent there 3 nights.
Overall the comfort of this "hostel" is outstanding, marvellous. It's actually a house with a garden in a rich, posh district of Cuenca.

I loved staying at this hostel — very clean, friendly staff, good breakfast, safe and quiet neighborhood, comfy big beds in dorms, amazing green backyard!

Superb hostel managed by two great gentleman. Spacious, peaceful with all the amenities and more!

I stayed here for three days, and it was the best stay I have had in a hostel!

If you are going to Cuenca, Please Stay Here. Starting with Mr Tony, very respectful Host, Open to talk and give recomendations about Cuenca and almost everything and everywhere in Ecuador.

I recently stayed at this hostel in Cuenca the first week of September 2025, and while the accommodations were simple and straightforward, it was the exceptional service from the owner and manager,

I needed a place to nap for like 3 hours but the place seemed to have a really cool vibe.

For the price paid this place is great. Some of the other reviews notably the last 1/5 star comprises of pure lies.

Great 24h service; clean, spacious but basic private rooms.
We arrived in Cuenca early in the morning and had difficulty getting a response from other "24 hour reception" hostels.

This hostel is good for traveling on a budget. It is conveniently located — very close to everything in the Centro Histórico. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are cleaned frequently.

Great hostel for price with 4BR. 5-10 min walk to downtown area and local parks. Free breakfast is a plus, although patio could be renovated. Also great nightlife and atmosphere!

Amazing location, safe, very friendly owner and his mother, curtains on the beds, nice outside and inside areas for relaxing and reading a book.

This place has a great location, the rooms are great, and the staff is wonderful. Would stay again.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The room was cleaned every day and was quite comfortable. I recommend using the offered services such as sightseeing trips, massages, and tattoos.
