    This place is very well organized and especially the hosts are outstanding. The rooms are well-designed, the shower is excellent and the beds really comfortable. The building was restored with a lot of passion and love for details and has a beautiful patio. We really enjoyed the breakfast. Great Italian coffee is served. The breakfast is delicious and contains a surprise dish for every day. Franco, the owner, is very helpful, generous and really cares for his guests. We highly recommend this place and hope to return soon.

    When we arrived, the room was full of promise. It was a good size and looked very nice. The view from the balcony was stunning and it was so close to all of the lovely things we wanted to see. The room was also modern, and I was pleased that we had a washer dryer.

    The hotel is thoughtfully designed and decorated. It has the feel of a small boutique hotel. The rooms are spotless clean and comfortable. The location is central but off the main square so that it is quiet. The hosts, Elena and Franco, are friendly, detailed oriented and extremely welcoming. They ensure that your stay at Le Fabrique is as pleasant as it can be. Breakfast is freshly prepared every morning and beats any buffet-style breakfast at bigger hotel chains. Definitely a great small hotel worth staying when in Cuenca!

    It's a great hostel. The volunteers and staff are absolutely lovely and will go above and beyond to help you out (shout out Sam!) and the location is perfect in Cuenca. If you're looking for a budget option I highly recommend Wild Monkeys. It's not luxury but it's nice given the price.
