Top San Sebastián Hotel Reviews

Santa Lucia House - Forum

8/10 Good

"I stayed 10 days and i enjoyed my stay. The location is perfect for walking to nearby things to see. The breakfast was made to order. The staff was very friendly and helpful and always available."

Vaway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay in Cuenca! We had a great experience staying at Hotel Vaway in Cuenca. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The location was also very convenient for exploring Cuenca and enjoying the beautiful city. Everything was well maintained, and we really appreciated the attention to detail and hospitality throughout our stay. We truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend Hotel Vaway to anyone visiting Cuenca. We would happily stay here again on our next trip to Ecuador! 🇪🇨❤️ Thank you to the entire Vaway team for making our stay so enjoyable!"

Hotel Boutique Santa Lucia

8/10 Good

"Our experience was very good. However, the only issue we encountered was the strong kerosene smell on the third floor. The heating lamps located in the interior patio-which at night also operates as a restaurant, where the food is excellent, by the way- emit a very intense kerosene or gasoline odor, and because the patio has a covered roof, the smell ends up accumulating on the third floor."
