Hotel Carvallo

The is a very old quaint hotel. It is adorable and well taken care of. The staff is top notch and go out of their way to meet every need, even before you know you need it. They attend to every detail. The breakfast is prepared and presented very tastefully. The staff make you feel right at home. Located in downtown, it is within walking distance of restaurants and shops. We will return to this diamond in the rough, for future stays in Cuenca.

Lovely boutique hotel located in historic old town Cuenca. Safe and convenient. You can stay here and walk local historic streets and see the local churches and check out local restaurants. Room was clean and neat. Service was great!

The property has a historic charm. The staff were very personable and helpful. Our room, a suite, was spacious and comfortable. The only downside was the street noise. Our room was in the front of the hotel and the passing cars, trucks, motorcycles were loud well into the wee hours.

I stayed at Hotel Carvallo from January 11th to 12th. My family had been staying there for two nights already, and everything was going well until it came time to settle the bill. The hotel needed to refund us for a night we hadn't used. When the receptionist calculated the refund, he mentioned that he had received instructions to deduct the commission charged by the hotel for managing the credit card payment. This seemed odd to me, as these costs are typically borne by the hotel, especially considering that we had also made a cash payment deposit. Later, he indicated that the amount they were going to deduct corresponded to the commission for the total credit card payment, not just for one of the eight nights we had reserved. I requested to speak with the person in charge. This is when the hotel manager, Mr. Luis Meneses, attended to me—a completely rude and discourteous individual who aggressively tried to impose his viewpoint. When I explained that they shouldn't charge us the commission for the entire payment but only for the night they were refunding, he eventually understood. He simply wrote down the refund amount on a piece of paper, turned around in silence, and walked away. There were no apologies, especially to my elderly parents who were horrified by how the gentleman spoke to me. I understand that billing mistakes can happen, but I believe that the attitude of individuals dealing with customers should always be courteous and polite. This incident, coupled with Mr. Meneses' behavior, left a negative impression on our overall experience at Hotel Carvallo. I hope that the management takes this feedback constructively to improve customer service in the future.

I attended a Seder with the Jewish community in Cuenca. I’m going to estimate the attendance at around 50. The hotel provided an elegant setting. The hotel itself is conveniently located in El Centro. The waitstaff was attentive. Our main dish was a very ample serving of chicken. Often chicken can be dry, but this chicken was moist and delicious. I would recommend this hotel as an excellent venue for a special event.

Nice to go to a small hotel and feel the friendly Atmosphere The property is well kept and retains it old world feel in every respect
