The place was very nice great area .Close to park and places to eat. The staff was great the breakfast was served individually by a very nice young man the front desk workers were great.The only thing I would suggest up grading tv and tv mount plus more hooks to hang things in bathroom and inside room.One more things shelves in bathroom for towels and or toiletries,Would recommend to anyone going to Cuenca
Great location, courteous staff, tasty and plentiful breakfast. The rooms are very clean, the bathrooms spotless with very hot shower. Exceptional internet speed over their wifi. There is absolutely no way you will be disappointed with your experience at this place!
Cute clean little hotel with great staff. Rooms were unfortunately way too warm with no fans or AC. Evenings are cool enough to open the window but still too hot

The Hotel is good for the price. But need a lot of updates in the rooms
The quality service and beaty of the hotel is unique. Its strategic location in the heart of Cuenca, plus the variety of breakfast everyday, and the always ready tea/coffee station made us feel very happy! We are more then pleasant for the stay in Hotel Azul de Plaza.
Great location, service and value for money. The staff were very helpful and assisted us in calling taxi and answering all the questions we had about Cuenca. Highly recommended
I loved everything about the hotel. First of all it’s very beautiful and cozy. The care and attention of Eder and Erica to the guests were exceptional 😃 I liked the walking distance to many attractions. It’s very clean and maintained. I would definitely stay there and recommend this hotel. Look no further it’s a nice and safe hotel 😃
