In a smart and beautifully decorated building on the plaza opposite the market of Mercado 9 de Octubre, flashpackers are catered for as much as backpackers at this well-established travel hangout. There's a great roof terrace-bar, and quiet wood-floored rooms and dorms, each of which has a private bathroom.
What sets this place apart is the owner, whose superb knowledge of the Cuenca area will make a real difference to your stay in the city.
