Fantastic location and really attentive owners. Breakfasts were included with our room; we particularly enjoyed coming back to the bar and enjoying a few espresso martinis; rooftop bar is a hidden gem. The owners were well-informed about all things in Cuenca- very willing to assist.

AWESOME LOCATION

This was my second trip to Cuenca and this time I was determined to find a room with a view of the Tomebamba River and close to the historic center. I found a lot of options that met this criteria but was impressed with how committed Casa del Barranco appeared to be in regards to COVID protocols and kept their guest's safety as a top priority. I got this and so much more.

From the moment Diego picked us up from the airport, I knew we had made the right choice. He was waiting for us with a hand written sign the second we grabbed our bags. The first thing Diego said to us when we got in the car is that he becomes friends with all his guests by the end of their stay. I've heard this before but Diego is very serious about this. He goes out of his way to make sure your stay in Cuenca is the best it possibly can be. I feel like I've made a friend for life with the bonus that our stay at the hotel was incredible. Rather than write out pages about how great Diego and his family are (they are!), I'll write out some of the highlights:

- The view of the river from our room was absolutely perfect. Our room (109) looked directly down to the river with an incredible view up with Mirador de Turi.

- The bed was very comfortable and the roaring sound of the Tomebamba put me to sleep very quickly each night.

- The breakfast every morning was the best we had in Ecuador. The coffee was hot and fresh, there was fresh-squeezed juice, and the eggs... I don't know their secret but I've never had cooked this perfectly. And sitting out on the terrace with another million-dollar view made the breakfast even more special.

-The family. I can't say enough about the family. Diego, Daniel, and their mother (sorry I didn't catch her name) were all so kind and welcoming. They made great suggestions of things to do around the city and made sure our visit was special. The care a great deal about Cuenca and a great deal about their guests.

They're constantly improving the property and this will be my go-to hotel any time I go to Cuenca. I hope it's your choice too!

More than just a great Hotel - a great experience.

Arrived in January of 2020.
The staff were wonderful and always willing to help with our questions
Hostel was kept in immaculate condition and rooms were the best.
Balcony view and outside tables were a treat in the morning to just sit and enljoy my coffee. Restaurant food/service was the best!
Location is excellent. Walked everywhere and great coffee shops nearby.
Highly recommend this hostel. This is the equivalent of a 4 star hotel in Canada.
Lots of guests of all ages.

Fantastic stay!!

My three days and nights here was great. The bed was comfy and my room was very clean. I loved my rook with the patio and view. On my last day, I became very ill and the staff and manager were very king in bringing me tea and checking up on me to make sure I am okay. The price was very good and I loved the decorations inside as you walk through your room. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and would do so again. The staff are warm and friendly and that made the difference for me. 

Great Place/ Caring Staff

Hostel Casa de la Barranco is located in the centre of Cuenca next to river Rio Tomebamba. The hotel has had its best days years ago. The cafeteria is poorly maintained and offers a poor breakfast. Staffs are friendly.

Cuenca is a nice town but in the streets the diesel fumes of the busses are terrible.

Our room had a double bed and a single bed, TV, wardrobe, and a small private bathroom with toilet, washbasin & shower. We also had a large balcony with table & chairs, view of the Rio Tomebamba and free traffic noise from the other side of the river. All was acceptably clean.

We recommend Casa de la Barranco to anyone who seeks a reasonably night’s sleep in a town where you have to face high levels of traffic pollution.

Good location, outdated hotel

We arrived at the bus station in Cuenca without a hotel and without wifi so we picked this out of the Lonely Planet guidebook and asked a taxi to take us there. Great choice - it's a really lovely hotel with beautiful wooden floors and lovely old furnishings. Staff were really friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were lovely. Plenty around the hotel and everything was within an easy walk.

Lovely hotel

At Hostal Casa del Barranco, we stayed in room 110 with a balcony overlooking the city and the river below. It was at the back of the hotel. Small but wonderful room with a great bathroom/shower.The hotel is close to the Parque Calderon, and the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, and the helpful Tourist Information Center (advice: ask where the Tourist Information Center/Office is~~the staff speaks English and can even phone to other towns to make hotel reservations~in fluent Spanish~ for you in those towns.)   If you cannot view the river from the room you rent, you can still enjoy a beautiful river view from the common area with a balcony overlooking the city and river. We experienced hotel personnel that understood our remedial Spanish &/or spoke English.  All were very nice and helpful. A few doors from the hotel is a  restaurant with great food called "Mercado," and the other direction from hotel is an Indian restaurant that also has great food. Also, two blocks away is the Gringo Laundry, where a friendly English speaking man will wash and fold your clothes for way too little money.  We recommend this hotel!

perfect for the price

I was very lucky to find this save and convenient place right in the middle of the best spot in Cuenca. I mean, the bed was beyond uncomfortable, the shower didn't have hot water (only tempered water) and the breakfast was whatever but for the location, view and price I would go again anytime. It's right in the famous Calle Larga and I was very lucky to have been there for Fête de la Musique. I had a free private view of the entire festival from my balcony. Three blocks away from the main plaza where the Cathedral is and three away from the best bars in town. The best part is that it is safe and quiet most of the times.

Very convenient, excellent location

Located in one of the entertainment centers. Many bars, discos and restaurants within walking distance. Less than a 10 minute walk to the Cathedral and Parque Calderon. The room I had was very clean but the in room WiFi was spotty. Sometimes I had to go the lobby to get a connection. Breakfast was very simple but adequate: freshly prepared scrambled eggs, bread roll, coffee and juice. Adequate hot water but had to let the water run for quite a few minutes. Two hotel policies I did not like. They insisted on full payment upon check-in and wanted to add 14% to the bill for using a credit card in addition to the 14% VAT. Neither of the other two hotels I stayed at in Ecuador had these policies. Reception insisted this was all explained when I made the booking through booking.com. I went back and checked my booking. There was no mention of either of these policies. I ended up paying cash. Reception staff were generally very pleasant but could not provide much tourist information, not even a map. Walls are paper thin. Could hear everything being said in the next room.
