−Only one towel, no soap or shampoo. Best to bring your own as many do now these days.

“Too expensive for what you get”
+Great location and to our surprise, there is no noise coming from the streets so good nights sleep is guaranteed. The roof top if very nice and has everything possible for cooking. On the couches though there were laying around and sleeping some local men, workers maybe, so was a bit akward.
−We found someone’s used tooth floss in our bed which was disgusting so wondering if the sheets had been washed. There was hot water sometimes and sometimes not (if there was specific timings for hot water we definitely weren’t informed about that). The room is so basic and outdated that felt like a rip off to pay the very high price for the room. You can’t even move the curtains at all to block the sunlight. Also we were supposed to get change back for the cash we paid for the room and never did, so be mindful and insist.

“Pleasant”
+The location was good. Tony was able to give us great information on Cuenca and was very helpful when we needed a doctor. He was always friendly and if not around would answer any questions on WhatsApp promptly. The rooftop terrace is a great addition and had a good view.
−Overdue a good refresh particularly the bed linen.

+Buena ubicación cerca del centro histórico sitio tranquilo y bien alumbrado, tiene agua caliente y bien aseados los baños, también tiene wifi gratis y su administrador es muy gentil, te proporciona una guía turística del centro histórico y te sugiere una ruta para hacerla a pie.
−En realidad todo estuvo bien, no tengo nada que observar. Todo muy bien en el hospedaje
