Accommodations in Cuenca

Quite frequently we’re contacted for recommendations on places to stay. Although there are no chain hotels, Cuenca is packed with places to stay; however, if you look at Orbitz or some of the other travel sites, you find only a handful. I decided that it would be a good thing to make a list of some of the places that we have heard of or had recommendations on. We’ve never stayed at any of these places; however, they’ve been recommended. Just remember that everyone has different tastes. I have included no hostals, in that dozens of the traditional hostals can be found on the Lonely Planet site.

SHORT TERM RENTALS
Some of the gringoes have apartments that they rent. Rich and Nancy have several properties and our friends were quite comfortable there. The links are: Rich's and Nancy's Rentals

Chuck and Nancy also have a rental: http://www.cuencapenthouse.com/

Tom and Monica have a penthouse on Mariscal Lamar near Las Americas. For information, contact Monica at: monmac4@gmail.com ; she will direct you as to where you can see photos.

There are several others that will have rentals in the near future.

Cuenca has a multitude of hotels, in all price ranges. We’ve never stayed at any of these, but know folks that have. If you’re planning a trip here, perhaps this will assist you. I’ve included phone numbers and websites where available.
