Just a 13-minute walk from Popular Art Museum and 0.7 miles from Straw hat Museum, La Casa Azul features accommodations in Cuenca, with a shared lounge.

Cute little hotel in a convenient location. I could walk 15+ minutes to the historic city center and in the other direction walk to Mirador de Turi. Next to the hotel there is a vegetarian restaurant on one side and evening ice cream shop on the other. I felt safe walking home in the evening down the main road. I had breakfast at the hotel every day — good variety: eggs, fruit, bread. The caretaker Catalina is so kind — made for a warm start to every day.

    Great hostel with a very nice rooftop and an owner who is very welcoming and goes out of his way for the guests. Not only will he help you with your plans in Cuenca, also for the rest of Ecuador or surrounding countries. Besides that, he really connects travellers, by welcoming them and introducing them to each other. Something I have not often seen before.
