Nice colonial house in Cuenca. The rooms are old, but that is the charm. Some bathrooms could look "newer" but all are functional. Staff super friendly and attentive, breakfast was good.

Great experience

The hotel is an old home converted to a hotel. It has great charm and its a beautiful property. The rooms are a bit old and need some upgrading, but that did not detract one bit from our experience. The hotel staff was amazing, they catered to our every need. Since we cannot include any personal details in this review, I'm going to just call her C. from the front desk help us immensely. Anything we would ask they would run and get or take us to get it. I cannot say enough of our experience at this hotel. The hotel is located at the center of the historic city, walking distance to all the sights. I would recommend and intend on returning with my family again.

Charming property with improvement needed

Good location hotel with walking distance to tourist attractions. I got a big room with old-fashioned TV and bath-room, which is in need of a renovation. The sleepy receptionist could be more friendly and professional. However the lousy check-in was nicely compensated by elegantly served breakfast. Some hotel staff was very helpful and provided high-standard customer service.

Very dissapointed

The Hotel in general needs a facelift. We were disappointed at the point that we did not spend even one night in the hotel. The room was long and narrow and the floor had carpet over an unleveled floor that feels your feet will pass through; the area to hang your clothes was even to small for two people. The bathroom was untidy, no hair dryer, the shower area was small and dingy that we could not see taking a shower there.

Centrally locacted to all the places and things we

The hotel had a charm about it that we loved. The front desk receptionists were the best. Anna Maria was most helpful and Emma was outstanding. We felt like family. Freddie in the restaurant was very attentive and altogether the experience was refreshing. We will recommend this hotel to all our friends. In fact when we got back to Quito, we did recommend it to two gentlemen visiting from Switzerland and they assured us that they will stay there, since we supplied them with the names of the employees and told them to let them know how highly we thought of them.

Excellent location and a good value

The Inca Real Hotel is a beautiful colonial style facility. The outside entry is inviting but the inner courtyards are beautiful. Our room was open to one of the courtyards. We thought it would be noisy at night but it was quiet. The rooms are large and inviting. The local restaurant was excellent but maybe a bit expensive. Still, the food was excellent.

Great Hotel for Site Seeing in Cuenca

The Inca Real is a perfect location for a visit to Cuenca. It is right in the center of town and an easy walk to the popular landmarks. The staff and services are excellent. The breakfast that was included was delicious and quick if you need a speedy departure. An amazing value for a beautiful hotel if you are planning a trip to Cuenca.

beautiful place great location, had billing issue

This is an old colonial building converted to a hotel. The rooms are simple but comfortable, with good bathroom and good hot showers. My window opened into the balcony of the second courtyard, which meant I didn't get as much light as I might like, but it was quaint. The only issue I had was that hotels.com quoted me a price, but when I arrived they told me it was a mistake and they needed to add tax. I went to the hotel web site and saw their official price was indeed higher. It was a few dollars extra, not worth looking for a different place. On the positive side, they let me have a LATE checkout 6pm free the day I was leaving for my evening flight home.

Magnifique hôtel mais pas adapté au sommeil

Hôtel traditionnel avec de jolis patios bien situé dans la ville . Mais impossible de dormir pendant 3 nuits : mauvaise insonorisation des chambres : celles situées autour du 1er patio bénéficient de la sonnette de la porte d entrée à chaque entrée ou sortie et de la mise en place du petit déjeuner avant 7h sans compter la musique d ambiance et l absence de rideaux occultants . Le petit déjeuner n’est vraiment pas à la hauteur du cadre surtout à partir de 8h30 : peu ou pas de fruit ( en équateur !) , éventuellement des bananes sur demande, pas de yaourt et un buffet peu achalandé .
