Hostels in Cuenca near Tomebamba RiverHostel

We had a great time in the hostel Latina. The owner is really helpful and will give you good advices on what to visit in Cuenca and where to eat a good cuy (local specialty).

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

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!

I had such a lovely stay at Ñañas Hostel in Cuenca!

Best location. Keep in mind that it's a hostel, not a Ritz Carlton. You'll find everything you need within a few minutes of walking. The café across the street is excellent for breakfast.

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.
