Beautiful old colonial home converted into a boutique hotel. It is quaint and affordable, but don't confuse it with their main Santa Isabella Boutique Hotel which is a major cut above.

The hotel is located in a good neighborhood in the downtown area of Cuenca, it was safe and we were able to walk and go shopping without any fear. The breakfast was excellent and the service was right on point. Darwin and Cristina were very helpful with information about the area. I will definitely stay in this hotel again.
