The central situation of this modern hotel within the historic centre of Cuenca makes it ideal for exploring the city on foot. Rooms are dominated by the excessively large beds creating an unnecesserarily cramped feeling; otherwise satisfactory but without coffee/tea making facilities, Food was adequate if a little limited in scope, Not suitable for young children. more

First we got a small room overlooking the street. We asked for a larger quiet room, so we got, I think the handicap room in the back and it was great. Short on storage. Nice large TV, clean room, clean linens. The restaurant is pretty good. The service was very attentive. In the center of town. Breakfast was very, very... more

The El Dorado is a block away from the main plaza in the heart of Cuenca. Though not the cheapest option in town, it is very reasonable, the staff are friendly and attentive and the rooms are big enough (without being really roomy) and the WiFi is free (though reception is spotty). What it lacks, compared to the Carvallo or... more

I stayed at El Dorado for two nights this past week and I was quite impressed by the level of care, attention to detail and professionalism of their staff. On my check out day, I changed my departure time and the staff went out of their way to assist my traveling partner and I to secure seats on a national... more

The El Dorado is in a good location in the center of Cuenca. We walked to most sites and a taxi is only at the most a $3 for places on the outskirts of town. The breakfast was good each morning and we ate twice at the restaurant for dinner. Service was excellent. The room was clean and mini bar... more

The hotel is very centrally located within walking distance to all the interesting parts of the old city. The only problem is that if you get a room facing the front, it can get very noisy, since it is on Gran Colombia which is a thoroghfare in Cuenca.After 1 sleepless night we asked for a room in the back and... more

My reservation was made several days before my stay; when I arrived they gave a different room than the one I already payed for, it had one bed and I asked for a two bed room, the beds were really bad and it was difficult to rest there. The location is nice, but I would prefer something no so well... more

The restaurant was amazing with excellent staff, a... more
