Casa Ordoñez

Cuenca

I had an amazing 14 day stay with Alberto, the owner and excellent chef, in his updated hotel. The breakfast was the perfect start to my day with lots of fresh fruit and eggs cooked to order. My room was tucked in a quiet corner and always spotless. The location and charm added to an amazing Ecuadorian experience.

Beautiful Hotel and Staff

I just spent 12 days at the Casa Ordonez and had a fantastic stay.  The rooms are very clean, the beds are comfortable, and the breakfasts delicious.  Alberto, the owner, and all of the staff were very friendly and helpful.  The hotel is charming, having been in Alberto’s family for over 100 years, and being formerly the family home.  It is also within walking distance of just about all the important markets and other important sites.  There is a tramway which is still in the testing stages, but should be functional soon with a stop less than a block away

Friendly, clean, charming small hotel in historic district

Charming hotel in a great location. The staff always gracefully helped us with all our needs. The beautifully renovated house with typical architecture has been in the same family for more than a hundred years and you can feel the owners' pride as it's immaculately maintained. Our stay couldn't have been better. I hope I will be able to return.

Wonderful hotel

Alberto thank you for such a great time. We especially appreciated the outstanding organisation and care that you showed on our holiday. We were exceptionally well fed with the local products and the opportunity to sample (and drink) the wines made it an interesting gastronomic experience. The breakfast was every day different and amazing... We would unreservedly recommend Casa Ordonez but mostly your warmth and friendliness made it a very special and memorable holiday for us both. 

Thank you from the heart!

More than five star hotel😊

Thank you Alberto and all the staff for an amazing three nights and for all your help afterwards, we couldn't of done it without you! From the tips and organization of  the many private trips we took (horseriding and Inca's), to the restaurant recommendations  and general advice.
The hotel is just gorgeous, immaculate and a real home away from home. Nothing is too much trouble. The whole staff went above and beyond.
Breakfast was the best we had on our three week stay throughout Ecuador, a different choice every morning. 
The room was comfortable and quiet.

Home from Home

All the heritage houses in Cuenca have no sound insulation. This is simply because of the years of construction. For monumental reasons, nothing can be changed in this regard even inside the buildings. In the downtown area, Casa Ordoñez is one of the quietest hotels according to my previous knowledge. The breakfast is varied. The receptionists, the room nurse and the owner Alberto are all dear people in whom the corazón latino pocht.

A good sleep is worth gold

My wife and I just spent two weeks at Casa Ordonez in Cuenca.  The hotel is a 19th century family home reconfigured by Alberto Ordonez into a lovely “bed and breakfast”.  The building has a typical hacienda floor plan with a large central courtyard, now covered with a glass roof, where breakfast is served each morning.  Alberto is the chef providing a variety of breakfast fare, all delicious, especially his smashed avocado on toast with fried eggs.  

Casa Ordonez is located in “el Centro”, the historic district of Cuenca, only two blocks from Parque Calderon and the new Cathedral.  All important venues are an easy walk from the hotel.  For sights farther afield, a taxi ride costs only $2.00.  

Before our visit Alberto recommended a hotel in Guayaquil (Grand Hotel Guayaquil) for our first night in Ecuador, since our arrival from the US was quite late.  He also made arrangements for a driver to bring us from Guayaquil to Cuenca the next day.  From the moment we arrived at Casa Ordonez we felt like part of the Ordonez family.  Alberto met us, as we arrived, and offered to assist us in anyway possible to make our visit pleasant and enjoyable.  We had the pick of two rooms, each with a queen-sized bed, in-suit bath and long-stem fresh roses.  One upstairs and one on the entry level.  We chose the downstairs room, and found it to be quiet, pleasant and very clean.  During our stay Alberto and his staff made dinner reservations for us, arranged for taxi pickups, and recommended a travel agency (Apullacta, two blocks away) for day trips in and around Cuenca. 

On the Wednesday of our first week, Alberto invited us and three other guests to share a pizza dinner.  He has a wood fired oven in his kitchen.  He made three different pizzas each of which were delicious.  The night before we left, Alberto hosted a catered wine tasting dinner for 30 expat guests.  It was an interesting experience talking with Americans who had retired to Cuenca, and the dinner was a bargain.  If you’re planning on retiring to Cuenca, Aberto can be a valuable resource to help in your resettlement as he has successfully helped so many others in the past.

If you want to have a relaxing and comfortable experience in Cuenca  start by staying at Casa Ordonez.  Alberto will do anything he can to make your trip truly unforgettable.  We look forward to returning to Cuenca and experiencing again the friendly atmosphere and hospitality of Casa Ordonez.

An Outstanding Experience

We couldn't have picked a better place to stay in Cuenca!  Alberto, the owner, met us upon arrival and offered any kind of help we could ask for. The hotel is in a perfect location just 2 blocks from the central square and the cathedral. Lots of restaurants close by. We had a special treat on our last night when Alberto invited us and the other guests for a pizza dinner from his oven. So fun!  I should also mention breakfast was outstanding and different each morning. We will stay again when visiting Cuenca.

Wonderful Stay

It was our first time visiting Cuenca and Alberto and his staff really made the whole trip. He in his staff were super helpful with suggestions on what to do and how to make the most of our time their. He also makes some of the best food I have ever had at a hotel. Breakfast is always something different from the day before and if you arrange it with him he will make you a pizza one of your nights there. Really an amazing experience and would visit again.

Alberto really makes you feel at home!

Good location on the edge of the historic old town, all the important points can be reached comfortably on foot. Stylish and clean, very friendly, professional and helpful staff. Despite the location on a busy street very quiet at night.
