Hotels With Spa in Azuay, Ecuador

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 However, the hotel facilities are outdated, especially the air conditioner, and the noise is not so loud due to the proximity to the expressway, and there are no other disadvantages.

We picked this hotel for the location and great reviews. The location is good, but the customer service at the front desk is very bad. First, at checkin they could not find my reservation until I provided a printed copy. Then the person replies “Oh, you booked thru the website.” Like that’s different from the usual way??? I don’t know. We go to our room, it’s nice, but the lamp on one side only works if you find the correct position for the cord. We see a bracket on the ceiling for a smoke alarm, but no smoke alarm. The safe in the closet is locked. On our way out to dinner, we stop at the front desk and ask them to unlock the safe while we are out to dinner. He says he will do it ‘right away’. I also ask about laundry service, and the front desk person says there is a price sheet in the closet. We thank them and leave for dinner. We return to our room after dinner. Safe is still locked. The guy at the front desk sees us return, and suddenly remembers he was going to unlock our safe “right away.” He comes up, unlocks the safe and leaves. There are no instructions to set a code, and setting a code is different from safes I’ve used in other hotels. I look for the laundry price list. Nope, nowhere in the closet. I hike back down to the front desk and try to explain there is no laundry price sheet in the closet. He follows me back up to the room, looks in every drawer in the closet. No price sheet. He tracks one down for me. Yes, these are minor inconveniences, and they were addressed (finally) but at unnecessary inconvenience to us. Thus the 3 star review. Hope other guests have a better experience than I did in my first two hours at this hotel.

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.

From the moment I arrived (2am) until the moment I left it was very nice. Arriving early in the morning the receptionist was welcoming and made it easy. My phone charger wasn't working so they let me use one while eating breakfast. They were helpful with directions, it wasn't a problem arranging taxis. The hotel is very clean and warm and even smelt good. The shower was amazing with running hot water. A mall across the road including a supermarket.

After a stressful drive from Guayaquil, we arrived to friendly, welcoming staff, delicious snacks, and hot tea. In our room there was a personalized card from the general manager and a beautiful spread of desserts. The hotel also went out of their way to accommodate a playpen and blanket for our 7 month old which she surprisingly slept amazingly in every night. We were able to see the river from our window which was very peaceful. The hotel is very quiet and relaxing. Although it was a short trip, we truly enjoyed our stay at Oro Verde Cuenca and are already planning our return!

The hotel is nice and the staff is even nicer. When we first arrived our room was directly below the nightclub but we were moved to a much better room the same night. The staff was very helpful and professional as well. The restaurant made amazing meals and the location of the hotel was within a 5 minute taxi ride to all the shopping and restaurants you would ever want. There is much to see and do in Cuenca so this is a place we will return to.
