I've been staying in Cuenca's Mocando for a few days to a few months for the last 8 years. The rooms range from small with external bath to large with attached bath. The place is quiet and not for party animals. Bachelor herds aren't to be found. It has an international clientale and often people gather in the dining room,... more

Great location in Cuenca. Close enough to walk around. Safe area. Double rooms extremely large with private bathroom. Excellent shower with hot water. Breakfast was outstanding. Eggs, toast, coffee-tea, fresh juice, granola etc. They also offer filtered water and coffee-tea all day so that is a nice touch. Secure rooms also. Very clean. more

I am wrapping up a week long stay in Cuenca and have stayed at Hostal Macondo the whole time. This is a good choice for a hostel while in Cuenca. It is located near the historic center yet still a few blocks off so you avoid some of the noise of the very core of the center - easily walkable,... more

Two years ago we discovered Macondo and were delighted. We had a large room with nice beds and the staff was friendly and breakfast was wonderful. The cook was a pleasant old lady who made great juice and hot chocolate. Last year we returned, our reservation was "lost" and we were stuffed in a closet of a room with horrible... more

I don't know what more you could want. The location is good. The hotel is immaculate, the garden is lovely. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable. The staff is friendly and courteous. And you are in Cuenca. I would return there any time. more

Hostal Macondo in Cuenca is a little gem for the traveler. Western owned and sensitive to the needs of travelers, it is affordable, clean, cute , secure and friendly. We stayed in one of the rooms along the back side of the garden with a private bathroom, it was quiet and nicely remodeled. The only drawback was the breakfast which,... more

You can't be in Cuenca without spending some time in Macondo. It has everything a traveller could hope for: lovely rooms, beautiful garden, attentive staff, security, breakfasts that you will never recreate at home, hot showers, other travellers to chat with on the porch, and more. I can't think of another place in which I felt more at home. One... more

I’m writing this sitting in the Macondo’s pretty garden, hummingbirds flitting at the flowers. This is a quiet paradise, with a friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable staff (many of whom speak English) , spotless, tasteful rooms, along with a fully appointed kitchen and dining room where you can cook your own lunches and dinners (a continental breakfast is included in... more

This is the kind of place that makes you rethink your return dates--you'll want to stay forever. Living up to its name, Hostal Macondo is a magical place with everything you might hope for--a beautiful garden for lingering over breakfast and reading in the afternoon, attentive and expert staff with helpful information about day trips and other destinations, and lovely... more
