Hotels near Iglesia Bautista "Es por ti Jesús", Cuenca

The room is very large. Compared with the same price Sheraton, it is the first Sheraton. The breakfast is very rich. There is a Chinese restaurant diagonally opposite. You can try it. The environment is good. The traffic is convenient.

It is very close to the Cuenca Peak Scenic Area, but it is not convenient to go to the city center. There is no Uber in Cuenca. To take a taxi, you must ask the hotel to call, or you can only go to the mall behind. Generally speaking, it is convenient to eat, it is close to the shopping mall, and there is a Chinese milk tea shop in the shopping mall. However, the hotel facilities are outdated, especially the air conditioner, and the noise is not so loud due to the proximity to the expressway, and there are no other disadvantages.

We stayed 4 nights at the Santa Lucia House-Forum. We hotel is located in El Centro a short walk from Parque Calderon, the blue domed “new” cathedral and great restaurants. Each morning Christina greeted us with hot coffee, fresh juice, fruit and cooked to order eggs and helped us plan our day’s activities. It is close to the Tranvia. The room was clean, nicely done and quiet( we were at the back of the hotel, off the street. The interior common area were spotless and comfortable. The rates were very reasonable, the hotel property was very nice and it was great value Kudos to Christina- We will stay here again-

We picked this hotel for the location and great reviews. The location is good, but the customer service at the front desk is very bad. First, at checkin they could not find my reservation until I provided a printed copy. Then the person replies “Oh, you booked thru the website.” Like that’s different from the usual way??? I don’t know. We go to our room, it’s nice, but the lamp on one side only works if you find the correct position for the cord. We see a bracket on the ceiling for a smoke alarm, but no smoke alarm. The safe in the closet is locked. On our way out to dinner, we stop at the front desk and ask them to unlock the safe while we are out to dinner. He says he will do it ‘right away’. I also ask about laundry service, and the front desk person says there is a price sheet in the closet. We thank them and leave for dinner. We return to our room after dinner. Safe is still locked. The guy at the front desk sees us return, and suddenly remembers he was going to unlock our safe “right away.” He comes up, unlocks the safe and leaves. There are no instructions to set a code, and setting a code is different from safes I’ve used in other hotels. I look for the laundry price list. Nope, nowhere in the closet. I hike back down to the front desk and try to explain there is no laundry price sheet in the closet. He follows me back up to the room, looks in every drawer in the closet. No price sheet. He tracks one down for me. Yes, these are minor inconveniences, and they were addressed (finally) but at unnecessary inconvenience to us. Thus the 3 star review. Hope other guests have a better experience than I did in my first two hours at this hotel.
