Hotels With Breakfast in Azuay, Ecuador

Left Zahir hotel just a few hours after checking in. The staff although friendly and smiley, even hospitable, is absolutely abandoned by management and let them to tackle maintenance issues improvising and making up excuses for the collapsing infrastructure of the hotel. NO HOT or even Warm water!!! That’s right l, the 4 star hotel had issues with their water heating systems and for a couple hours they were givings a run a round and not directly telling us that we checked in for our 13 night stay at a hotel advertised as one if the best, which really deliver one of the worst. Again, the staff tried their best, I must mention Santiago, who when out if his way to make our family comfortable, and yet, in the absence of a manager on duty, at a hotel occupied to full capacity, NO MANAGER or duty. Do not pay Zahir this much money for even a night. You will be sorry.

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 However, the hotel facilities are outdated, especially the air conditioner, and the noise is not so loud due to the proximity to the expressway, and there are no other disadvantages.

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.

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-

If you want a historic building with quaint rooms this is not the place for you. On the other hand if you want a fairly priced room (with a very small bathroom) a couple of minutes walk to central square, great cooked to order breakfast and great service the El Dorado is it. From the moment I contacted the hotel to arrange for the airport shuttle pick to the hotel I knew that customer service and guest comfort were important for the hotel. During our stay the staff that went out of their way to be helpful and hospitable. The two bed room was not huge, but functional. The bathroom was small: a sink, toilet and shower-all 3 in a tight row made for a tight fit. Reminded me of old hotels bathrooms in Europe. But the location of the hotel and convenience to central Square, restaurants and tourist attractions with a great price is super value and worth the tradeoffs. In any event, we were comfortable in the room. We really enjoyed our breakasts - they offered kitchen prepared to order eggs, ceviches, Ecuadorian specialties like plantains with cheese. Breakfast service was great especially on the weekend. Our host/server Pamela was really helpful and friendly and got our day off to a great start. Also, a tip of the hat to Martin who picked us up from the airport and was helpful beyond our expectations throughout our stay. He truly is a gem! We also enjoyed dinner at the restaurant. Nicely prepared meal with huge portions that we simply could not eat all of it. Service was attentive and our host/bar tender makes a mean (great) pisco sour! I am really happy with our stay at the El Dorado. I will stay here again for the convenient location, super staff and great service.

The Hotel Boutique Santa Lucía is a former 19th century colonial house, so the facilities blend the luxury and charm of an old house with the comfort of the 21st century. Hotel staff deliver outstanding service at the front desk, restaurant and bar. I highly recommend this hotel, in the heart of Cuenca.
