Top Hostels in Cuenca in 2026

There is a relatively hidden gem high in the mountains of Cuenca, Ecuador called Mirador Del Turi, accessible by rental car or bus. During our trip in April, we found the most fun adult do-it-yourself play park with this makeshift lawn chair swing! For $5 they strap you in and release you to soar high above Cuenca's city to see what it feels like to be a bird. The great thing about Ecuador is that they use US dollars, so no exchange necessary!

People from the shops below were even trying to help me contact them. Finally Expedia customer service helped find me another place to stay, which was thankfully nearby, nicer and less expensive. I'm a pretty experienced traveler but this was kind of scary. I'm a woman, alone, in a new city and it was starting to get...

Top Cuenca Hotel Reviews

Santa Lucia House - Forum

10/10 Excellent

"Ideally located for the centre of Cuenca, good breakfast, comfy bed and a good shower en suite."

Hotel Boutique La Ronda by Chat Noir

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great and courteous! The hotel is charming, clean and eclectic! The room was clean and had all the amenities needed to perform business if needed. Free breakfasts were offered daily and were served hot and quickly. The guests were greeted by two friendly cats in the lobby. So if you're allergic to cats or not a cat lover, don't think of staying at Hotel Boutique La Ronda by Chat Noir! "
