This place is one of the best places in Cuenca Ecuador! 

 Not just tostay for a night, week or a month, but the restaurant and chefs are top of the line! 

Not only that but they have live music four nights a week from the best musicians in cuenca!

If you're going to come and visit quanken or looking for a place to stay, this is it! 

Their rates are very reasonable, the staff is amazing and owned and operated by a family, so know you will be taken care of like you're one of them!

It's also one of the hottest spots at night in Cuenca so you don't even have to leave because they serve breakfast lunch and dinner and at night dancing drinking and live music and more! 

There's no better place in Cuenca that I can recommend to stay than here!!

Always, 
Bexx

Good times at Yaku!

Hostal Yakumama is clean, updated, well decorated, a quiet place with an inner patio. They have a very good restaurant with a wide variety of choice, including vegetarian options. Good Happy Hour.
Bedroom was on main floor and had its own bathroom.
Location is easy walking distance to the old city center, with old Spanish White buildings with red roofs, a pre-Columbrian art museum. I visited a great animal rescue center, Amaru Zoologico Bioparque, where they had a many of Ecuador's most famous animals. 
The staff at the Hostal were most helpful, loaning me a map of El Cajas National Park, where I wanted to hike, and even finding me a couple of other travelers to share the taxi ride.

Hostal Yakumama is most welcoming!

Central location to make your base. Noisy for rooms on street side. Rooms clean beds fairly comfortable. Staff really friendly. If your going to be up early let them know as doors are locked at entrance! WiFi works well.lots of great places to eat close by.

Great location

I stayed a couple of nights at Yakumama a few days after the new ownership finished working on a complete new restaurant and bar area.
The new hostel is beautiful and with great attention for artistic detail (from the furniture, to the art on the walls and the food preparation) 
Despite the atmosphere was not very lively due to Covid and the lack of many guests I cannot rave enough about the kindness and hospitality of all the stuff. 
The very morning before my arrival I happened to have my phone stolen and so I was in need of some technical and moral support. Well, Pepo and his brothers (the new owners are a family of 3 brothers and 1 sister) were extremely supportive and helpful in giving me practical help and suggestions on what to do from there.
I highly recommend Yakumama if you look for a stylish and yet rustic and comfy place to stay. The food is delicious, the location is very central and the staff is superbly kind and helpful.

Best accommodation, vibe and staff in central Cuenca

The staff were super helpful. It was nicely located and safe fun vibes all around. Also definitely worth the price for me! The museum is like super close! There was not hot water, at least in the dorm at the very top and with lots of windows in the top room I recommend layers as it could be a little cold for some. 

Weekend in Cuenca

We stayed at Yakumama understanding that it had mixed reviews, but seemed to be one of the better hostels in Cuenca, and was recommended in our Lonely Planet guide. Unfortunately the reviews on the lower end of the scale proved to be right. The staff were nice but they weren't very helpful when it came to advise about the city, or the actual hostel to be honest. The room was clean I think but the shared bathroom and toilet looked like it needed some bleach, and a good scrub. The rustic nature of the furniture could be forgiven for being "quaint" had it not been uncomfortable, and sometimes just broken. 
We never had breakfast there as the kitchen was, for want of a better word, disgusting. 
It was a VERY quiet hostel itself, however the bar/restaurant next door was so loud in penetrated the very thin walls until the early hours. Maybe some sound proofing or free ear plugs wouldn't go a miss.
This hostel has potential to be great, but it seems to have been left to the wayside, and has become extremely dilapidated, and outdated.

Could be better

When the floorboards in the hallway give a little when you step on them. when to get past the reception desk to the rest of the place someone needs to unlock the door. Very nice staff. The place was pretty empty (my 8 bed dorm room had only me in it, which was great for me. Breakfast was solid. There's a store next door selling a variety of beers. Most of the restaurants nearby were Indian. Good price. Only place i stayed in that didn't avae a top sheet on the bed

Great location--but location's not everything.

This hostel is located in the heart of the "Old Town" of Cuenca. The rooms are basic, but clean. A perfect backpacker hostel. The best features of this hostel is the lovely courtyard, a very nice kitchen where you can prepare your own meals and a bar in the courtyard. It is run by a Swiss gentlemen who is helpful and friendly. Recommended for travelers not seeking luxury, but want a pleasant atmosphere. I must say I didn't actually stay there, but met a friend there which gave me the impression that if I were to stay at a hostel in Cuenca, this would be the one.
