La Querencia

Cuenca

Had a fantastic experience staying here. A beautiful place in the outskirts of the center of cuenca, great rooms, great beds and lovely breakfast served in the morning - full on service! My sister got a stomach ache on the second day, and the elderly couple that runs the place were very sweet to help with tee and suggestions to getting better with the height sickness.

You really feel at home in this place, at every age group!

Most thoughtful hosts in Ecuador

Pros:
- Extremely quiet room and hostel, almost no other guests staying there. So quiet so had a good sleep.

Cons:
-Far from centro, in an isolated area. police said that we shouldn't around there after 6pm.
-owner unpredictable and unprofessional. No reception after the evening.  e.g.  i noticed some hairs and stuff on the sheets, and no one was at reception . Its around 11. I heard the owners watching tv upstairs, so i softly knocked on the door and asked nicely. But she totally lost her temper and blew up! She then said theres no more rooms available so i must leave, even though the whole place is like absolutely empty!

Dishonest, unpreditable

I stayed here one month after having a horrible experience at another place.

An unassuming looking spot from the outside, I took a look in the door one day as the previous place was in the same neighborhood.  As soon as I got through the entrance, I was impressed.  A huge place, very nicely decorated run by an elderly couple who I could immediately tell would tolerate no nonsense.

I got one of the cheaper rooms downstairs.  Picture a basic motel room plussed up with shelves, desk etc.  Great hot water!  laundry service, 2 different Wifi routers to ensure good coverage.  Small kitchen which was still OK for the 8 rooms here.  Very comfortable furnishings, great blankets and bed etc.

Lola keeps the place SPOTLESS.  They both are very diligent and great people.

Front desk has plenty of maps and info if you are new.  Good security too.

Neighborhood is ideal.  You can see the city square from the small balcony and it's a 5 minute walk into town.  Very quiet area at night.

Everything you need within a couple blocks.  Several stores, a great bakery, restaurants etc.  

I have no intentions of looking anywhere else when I come back.  Not a party place (thank god).

Budget Prices for a Great Place & Service

La Querencia is located 1.5 km from the ground terminal. It will cost you $1.50 a taxi. (The return can be done on foot down the street). It is also located 10 minutes from the historic city center. The reception, by a charming small family, is very courteous. I was very well received, everything explained, and I felt at home. The room was excellent, the comfortable bed and with all the blankets I did not get cold. There is a cabinet, a shelf, and a TV. The shower had hot water. My room was cleaned every day. For $40 every three nights, I warmly recommend this hotel family. Thank you for this kindness.

Just perfect.

This simple hotel offers fine accommodation and we were very well looked after by the attentive couple who operate it.  We received nice breakfasts and real, good coffee in the morning.

I recommend getting one of the rear rooms with a view over the township if possible.

Like staying with your (grand)parents

The breakfast is basic but very well served by its hostess.Perhaps the size of the rooms is small due to the characteristics of the construction, it was very kind of me to allow access to it before checking time, solve details of the lighting in the bathroom and evacuation of the bathroom water would improve the comfort of the room.

A colonial space with exceptional friendliness.

Really quaint.  It was fun being a part of the old city.  The family said the property had been in the family for 200 years.  For people that are into old architecture, this is the place for them.  I couldn't stop admiring the old flooring in my room.  As mentioned, the rooms are basic but are perfectly cleaned and the rooms are made up every day..which is really nice to come back to after a long day in the city.  I thought the location was excellent, near enough to all the action  (central park, restaurants, incredible churches) but also required that I get a little bit of exercise daily.  You could walik out the door and take a cab but it is only 6 blocks from the center of everything.   There is a refrigerator in the kitchen available for use and you can cook anything you want in the well-equipped kitchen.  The owners are wonderful and extremely helpful and you get the feeling that their place is your place....when you factor in the cost - I stayed in the budget room...staying here was a no brainer.  Laundry also available.

Felt like home after a day of wandering around Cuenca

Very friendly and helpful the gentlemen of La Querencia, the atmosphere is comfortable and one feels at home!

Very good attention!

We had an excellent experience in this very familiar lodging, served by its owners, who make you feel like you are staying in your own home.Lola (its owner) served some rich breakfasts with great care and sympathy.The place is quiet and very clean.Very recommended!

An ideal place to unwind...

This hostel is undoubtedly excellent for the location, design and decoration of the building, very attentive attention of its owners, breakfast.The room was quite small and with little room to pack, but in all respects in favor, it is highly recommended.
