Hotel Boutique Santa Lucia

Hotel Boutique Santa Lucia

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel feels like a real mansion with classic furnitures. Room was large and very clean. Location can’t be better, surrounded by so many restaurants and cafes, it’s hard to count. Definitely try Goza Restaurant/Bar, located 6 minutes from the hotel. STAFF: hands down staff is the biggest asset at the hotel, they are kind, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Big shoutouts go Adrian and specially Cristina. She was patient and reorganized my detailed itinerary to be more time efficient :)"

"Directly in Cuenca el centere. Perfect for walking. Go to the street vendors and grab some authentic Ecuadorian street food in the evening. Very friendly staff. Building was well kept and clean though a bit noisy. Beautiful old hardwood floors announced every visitor. There is on-site parking for about $4 overnight. A lovely light breakfast was provided"
