Exelente place with lots of activities and thing to do very close to the center of the city the service is very good and one characteristic of this place I like the most is the common kitchen where you can prepare your own food

It was such a nice place to stay. It was in the center and the people there was so nice, always helping.

Very good location in terms of distance to the center but if you are looking for tranquility this is not the place, it is full of bars. On a Saturday night you can't sleep until 3am since there is a disco next to it. The wifi does not reach the rooms well. If you get up late you run out of hot water for the shower and it can be quite cold in the mornings.

The service is first-class, the staff are very patient and enthusiastic, they can communicate in English and Spanish, the environment is first-class, it's like living in an old castle, it doesn't look big, but it's actually quite extraordinary. It's just that the Wi-Fi signal in the room is not very good. Maybe the room is too far away and the signal needs to be adjusted. It would be better.

The vibe is truly unique, and there is enough to explore inside and outside of the property. You can enjoy a wonderful meal on the outside roof terrace, and you are within a minutes' walk of the city centre. I would definitely come here again when visiting Cuenca!

Overall, this was a really great, affordable, and centrally located hostel. However, there were a few downsides. To start with the pros, the location of this hostel is excellent. It is walking distance to the main Plaza De San Francisco, and on a centrally located Main Street. The location is very safe, and I never felt unsafe despite traveling solo. There are also many wonderful facilities, like yoga, breakfast, great wifi, a coworking space, and a masseuse that they can bring in. The wifi was fast and worked throughout the hostel without a hitch. The main con of this hostel is that it is extremely loud on the weekends. Expect to hear loud club music from around 9:30pm-4:00am on the weekends. Luckily I had noise cancelling headphones, but even with that it was difficult to sleep. So if you like partying and don’t mind club music with loud bass clearly in your room late at night, then staying here on the weekends might be for you. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this hotel only for weeknight stays, because it was difficult to sleep with the noise. The showers also didn’t seem to get hot water. Other than that, it’s a really nice hostel, and all of the pros outweighed the cons for me.

Selina was awesome. Super cool hostel, almost more of a hotel. They had an awesome co-working space for remote works, we didn't need it, but it definitely inspired me to look for a remote job when we got back. Room was clean, cool building with lots of services and a free walking tour, great location. My only complain would be that the free breakfast was pretty bad.

I've been in Cuenca around 10 times already and been to at least 8 different hotels and airbns, but Selina Cuenca is just perfect. The location of the hotel is the best, you are two steps away from cuenca old town, in front of the river, you cross the river through the multiple bridges and bam you are in the downtown cuenca. The hotel is beautiful, rooms, terrace, everything.
