This is an Ecuadorian family owned hostal. The family is incredibly kind and helpful. I had zoom job interviews and they let me borrow a private room and set up a table. In addition, the beds are incredibly comfortable. The dorms have full sized beds.

    The Owner, Franco, is an excellent Host, the lodging is beautifully arranged - a very tasteful and stylish mix of modern and traditional, the Patio and Garden Area are just wonderful. Breakfast and especially the Coffee are also outstanding (There's a different Breakfast prepared every day, including fresh Fruits and tasty Cookies!) We will definitely be staying here again when we revisit Cuenca and will recommend this place to all our friends :)

    Hostal Suite Le Fabrique could not have been better. Great location. Easy walking to everything in Cuenca. Right on the Tranvia lightrail line to the bus terminal and airport. Super quiet. Lovingly decorated rooms/suites and courtyards. Everything is new, modern with a touch of traditional, and immaculate. Franco is a wonderful host who makes you feel like family. Don't miss breakfast. Different every day. Incredible flavors! I would definitely stay here again!

    We really liked our stay in the hostel. The room is comfortable and spacious enough. There is a shared kitchen where you can cook. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, 30min from the terminal and there is a bus '19' passing 2min walk from the hostel that brings you to the city center. The owner even lent us the bus card for few days. Even though they can't speak English or Spanish it is quite easy to communicate with Google Translator. They are awesome hosts and make you feel at home!

    Franco is a great host! He really cares about your comfort and always asks if you need anything at all. The guesthouse is superb! Very cozy and elegant. The food was great, I am a vegan so he adjusted the breakfast accordingly right away. Free good coffee! The location is really nice, you walk to the center in just few minutes (5-10). Atm just around the corner. I loved it and when I go back to Cuenca I will definitely stay there! Gracias Franco!!
