Top San Sebastian Plaza Hotel Reviews

ITZA Hotel Boutique Internacional

10/10 Excellent

"Location was amazing. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind. The only thing is that we had an inner room and we did not have a window."

Santa Lucia House - Forum

10/10 Excellent

"Customer service was excellent. Staff very helpful and for the price of the night including the breakfast was a steal !!! The location is very well located. Will book it in the future for sure."

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."

Oro Verde Cuenca

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, good breakfast, good staff"

Mansión Alcázar Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nos encanto la propiedad y decoracion,el personal la atencion exelente,definitivamente regresaria,gracias por la atencion y la buena voluntad siempre de atudar"

Hotel NASS del Sur

10/10 Excellent

"It was the best experience staying in this hotel . Everything was perfect the Staff . Our Host Mike was amazing he made sure we had anything we needed taking care of . The food was high quality cooked to perfection and plated beautifully not to mention the attention of the waiters. The administrator was awesome he had high knowledge of history and his attention to detail was great. The hotel is set on the edge of a volcano with large wall windows that looked inside the volcano laying in your bed and on the other side with an extraordinary city view. We could see the sunrise on one side and the sundown on the other. I strongly recommend this hotel 100%. I will definitely stay here again. I did not meet the owners but my congregation on the super well staff he has and the administrator."

Hotel Azul de la Plaza
