“Staff and value for money.”
Decent location - not too far from the centre. The volunteers are super helpful and friendly. The rooms are simple but comfy. The communal area is small but nice - with snacks and coffee to purchase. Decent value for money.

“Very welcoming and centrally located, once you move in immediately you've joined a community.”
Very artsy and community like environment, centrally located and very accommodating with guest requests and needs. Super friendly and open. For this price you cannot ask for more.

“Great stay!”
I liked everything in this hostel. I stayed for more than 1 month. Angel and Sabrina are coordinating the place, with an amazing staff of volunteers. Everyone one of them is dedicated and ready to help wherever they can. Everything what was asked for was provided. When a problem turned up, this was managed in a professional way. The food is also great, from breakfast to cookies, from cakes to the 'empanada's'! It's a very chill place to rest for a while.

“Not worth going cheap.”
It's close to the city centre and very cheap, but there are much much much better options for the same price. The volunteers were friendly. It has a guitar you can play.

“Very budget option in Cuenca, only recommend for a few days”
Nice little hostel that is unfortunately getting a bit old. Perfect for 1-2 nights, but not recommended for longer stays. The beds are clean and comfortable.
