What an amazing place. Plenty of spaces, indoors or outdoors, where you can chill out or work. The kitchen is available to cook your own food. The hostel is somewhat so well planned that makes you feel that is really spacious even when it is full of guests...Xavier and the rest of the staff were really helpful and generous..

All hostels in Cuenca

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.

    The best hostel in Cuenca. Very nice staff, good community area. You can speak, see movie, use the kitchen, play games, make music, use the laundry for free. More than worth it.

    I loved this place. The volunteers make it very special. In the evening the hostel jammed together, real hostel experience. Maybe not ideal for people who want a more silent place, but great to connect and meet new people.
