Large room and friendly staff.

The kitchen noise woke up my girlfriend very early in the morning (before 7am)

Excellent location and delicious breakfast

The location a few blocks from stores, restaurants, Parque Madre, the Tomebamba River, and the bridge to Centro Historico was great! The bed was very comfortable with great pillows and bedding. My room only had a small high window so not a lot of natural light but good lighting in the room. The Internet worked well. The bathroom had a good hot shower. The free coffee, tea, and water in the lobby were appreciated. I had requested a fan (I find it helps to muffle noises in these historic properties) and the staff had one available for me. Excellent service from all hotel personnel I interacted with. The breakfast was above and beyond expectations - the small menu provided several choices. It was the best I have had in Ecuador so far! The lobby area was furnished well with sofas and chairs.

A couple of downsides - not enough visible plugs for those of us traveling with multiple devices (I used bathroom plugs) and no real working desk area. Lack of natural light. No minifridge for snacks and leftovers. A little pricey.

They call themselves a hostel, however this is a luxury hotel. The common areas are impressive with spiral marble staircase, a comfortable executive style sitting room whereby guests could have use of a computer, as well as a fully stocked kitchen for those who would like to cook. The room was lovely with a comfortable bed and private bathroom.

I was provided with a room on the third floor which meant that the window was five feet above my head, at the peak of the ceiling. It provided only light and sounds from the traffic on the street below.

Villa Emilia Hostal is more like a small boutique hotel than the usual hostel. It has private bathrooms, large clean rooms, and has parking spaces on its premises. Breakfast was included and was excellent. The location was centric and close to many stores. I think that there is also a shopping center close by (not sure, but definitely a Supermaxi a few blocks away).

Everything was good.

The staff was very friendly and breakfast was also good. Bread with jam, egg and fruits with yogurt. We had a big room with a nice big bathroom!

The whirlpool in our room didn't work. But the rest was perfect for us.

This place was okay as a place to sleep, but not very inviting.

Location was good as it's close to a small mall, a nice park and downtown Cuenca (across the river).

Parking was secure, but a pain to use. It required the assistance of someone working there to open the gate, direct traffic and help car pull out and the opposite in reverse when parking there. There was a long staircase to get to the room which was difficult to manage with a lot of baggage. Staff seemed overworked and as a result not friendly.

Very nice place to relax and only a 15 minute walk to the historic district.

Excellent location, room size, and friendly and accommodating staff.

Breakfast could have had more variety. That said, they fried two eggs instead of the standard ham omelette. Also, was having issues with hot water as you have to wait several minutes until it is hot enough to take a shower.

Fantastic Service from a Clean, Convenient and Bargain Priced Hotel

This hotel seems to be a totally new renovation of an older building. Everything inside is new and extremely clean. The staff is incredibly helpful! We had poor internet in our room and told the front desk. We went out for a walk and upon return, the owner had installed a new and stronger router on our floor that completely fixed the problem! Amazing! The owner also speaks good English. The bed is larger than most (Queen?), comfortable, and has nice quality bedding. Rooms have quiet, individual mini-split heat and AC units. Shower has plenty of hot water. Location is two blocks inland from the north end of the Malacon 2000 near the gondola. Reasonable rates include a basic egg breakfast. The street is quieter than the main one along the Malacon. Some rooms do not have external windows, but would be quiet. Truly a great value in this rather expensive city!

If I were to be picky, a second bedside table, bedside reading lights, and a light over the bathroom mirror for shaving would be nice, but those things were certainly not a problem.

Almost in the heart of Cuenca

Breakfast very good, Wi-Fi worked, staff helpful, room spacious, beds comfortable, car parking space provided. It's a short walk to downtown.

Nothing to complain about.

Great option to stay for Cuenca

Fabulous hotel! Very friendly staff, great breakfast, beautiful (and clean!) rooms, and I appreciated the locked parking area as well. Would definitely recommend.

It's not the most central location in the city but this isn't necessarily a bad thing because it was quiet and safe :).

We loved Cuenca and if we come back, this would be the place we'll stay again.

We loved this place. It's a nice, mostly quiet location about a 10 minute walk across the river to the busier, noisier Centro Historico. Very clean and spacious rooms. The water was super hot for your shower. The parking was secure as advertised. The staff were all amazing. The gentleman who stayed the night and also arranged your breakfast was super attentive to anything you need.

Not much to say here. Maybe the pillow could have been softer. I don't know.

Best hostal ever!

This is absolutely the best hostal I have ever stayed at. It was more of a boutique hotel than a hostal. The rooms were spacious and well appointed, the customer service was outstanding and the free breakfast was excellent.

There was nothing I didn't like

Location, price and facility. What’s not to like.

In the 6 years we have been staying here, the facilities need a bit of maintenance here and there.
