My husband and I so enjoyed our three night stay here over Easter. Everything was superb, and I can't recommend it enough.
We had dinner in the hotel on the first night, and the food and service were so good, we weren't tempted to have dinner anywhere else. Choose a table in the conservatory, which is like dining in a jewel box. I highly recommend the strawberry "carpaccio" served with basil ice cream. Beautiful, clever and very tasty!
I stayed in the panoramic apartment with amazing views of old town Cuenca. Great location. One block to Parque Calderon. Tia store across the street and bakery downstairs. Very cozy and clean unit. I’ll definitely stay here again. All the staff was lovely.
Great place, very good location , excellent breakfast but what made the difference was the people that work at the hotel : they make you feel at home and that is priceless.
A nice quiet getaway about 35 minutes from Cuenca. Surrounded by nature, enabling one to go for walks. It is a family run place and the hosts are very friendly and helpful.
I liked very much the great breakfast, the room very clean, good atmosphere, all the staff very friendly was there for one month
I am thinking about the next trip very soon
I stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment and had a wonderful time with my daughter. The place is beautiful, just like the pics. I loved the balcony (even though I didn’t enjoy it because we were always out, it was nice to have). The location was perfect. You can walk to historic district, local market, the park. The best part was having a washer/dryer. I love being able to come home with clean clothes.
We have visited Cuenca several times and always stay in the historic district. This is the best hotel ever. It is beautiful and the staff was more than helpful. It has a beautiful dinning room and the breakfasts were very good--and included in the price of the room. We look forward to going back!
Having spent a week here I grew to appreciate all the little things that added to the comfort of my stay. Family owned and run, the level of service was both personal and top shelf. I have traveled the world and don't stop to spend time reviewing one corporate run hotel over another but here I am happy to spread the good word for this lovely family and boutique hotel. Classic colonial hotel steps to the historic district, we regretted leaving.
This was my first visit to Cuenca, and I absolutely loved the city. Hotel Azul de la Plaza was an excellent base to explore the Centro Historico. The room was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and above all, very comfortable. The location really cannot be beat, the price was more than reasonable, and there was parking available in a secure lot. When I come back to Cuenca, I will absolutely stay here again.
The staff was so friendly, the location was unbeatable, and the foods at the restaurants were amazing. The noise from the construction outside and from the restaurants above and below were a bit loud at times, but otherwise it was the perfect stay.
