Guest Reviews
- Rolf (10/5): Eine absolute Empfehlung! - Sehr gut gelegen, schönes Zimmer, toller Garten, super freundliches, flexibles und hilfsbereites Personal! Nichts
- Iachan (6/5): Good - Location and breakfast (very good while very slow) Internet was very unreliable and erratic. Prices exceeded what was quoted and anticipated
- Fausto (9/5): - LA HABITACIÓN Y LA LOCALIZACIÓN EN EL CENTRO DE LA CIUDAD. EL DESAYUNO FUE INCREIBLE, MUY AGRADABLE LA CONEXIÓN A INTERNET NO FUE BUENA. LA TELEVISIÓN NO PERMITIA CONECTARSE PARA VER ALGUN PROGRAMA DE TV
- Christine T (10/5): - Eine Oase der Ruhe in der Stadt. Alles sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, ausgezeichnetes Frühstück. Das Bett war sehr bequem, wir konnten uns sehr gut erholen. Das beste Hotel bisher auf unserer Reise. Super nettes Personal, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Top Lage, sehr gute Lokale und Zentrum zu Fuß gut erreichbar. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Dann ist vielleicht mein spanisch auch schon etwas besser. :)

- Megan (8/5): -
- Daniela (10/5): Hermoso lugar para un fantástico fin de semana de aniversario - El personal del hotel fue muy amable, el desayuno fantástico y las habitaciones limpias y cómodas. El hotel es muy bonito, lindo patio y su personal fue extra amables y nos prepararon una mesa especial para desayunar en nuestro aniversario. El internet podría ser mejor. No había muy buena señal.
- Roxana (10/5): Gorgeous Cuenca stay - Wonderful property, all in great taste, perfect location, gorgeous garden, gourmet breakfast, but mostly the people, Wilmer and his team went above and beyond to make us feel like royalty. Nothing I can think of
- Daniel (9/5): - Location
- Aura (10/5): Increíble - Todo, el desayuno es espectacular.
- Kristina (10/5): Wonderful people, incredible breakfast, a cultural treasure - The breakfast was absolutely incredible. First, they seat you at a lovely mosaic table in a beautiful garden area with Italianate terracotta walls and an abundance of flowers and birds. A lovely person comes to take your breakfast order and explain to you the offerings which feature traditional Andean breakfasts like "Motepito", which their staff prepare with great care. They really make you feel at home in a way that few other bed and breakfasts achieve. I only wish I could have stayed longer!
- Christophe (9/5): Hôtel magnifique dans une ville magnifique - L’endroit !!! c’est magnifique, une décoration soignée une salle de petit déjeuner donnant sur le jardin un havre de paix l’accueil digne d’un 5 étoiles le petit déjeuner copieux et sur mesure le parking sécurise Ça vaut 10 mais malheureusement le wifi ne fonctionne pas ou très mal dommage !!!!
- Francisca (10/5): Ojalá algún momento podamos volver - Hotel en una hermosa casa colonial Pleno centro Habitación excelente Bien insonorizada Personal excepcional Desayuno diez Nada
- VICENTE (9/5): -
- BELTRAN (10/5): -
- Caridad (10/5): El hotel perfecto para una estadía en esta hermosa ciudad! - Es un lugar maravilloso! Lleno de historia, muy bien mantenido y decorado con gusto. Su ubicación es perfecta para visitar Cuenca. Se duerme deliciosamente y el desayuno es delicioso! El personal es más que amable, nos sentimos como en casa. Muchas gracias a todos por su atención y gentileza! Todo es perfecto!
- Radoslav (10/5): - Ziemlich zentral aber ruhig. Alles fussläufig erreichbar, Tramhaltestelle 5 min. entfernt. Super Frühstück, sehr freundliches Personal und auch der Besitzer. Sauber, komfortabel. Wirklich TOP Unterkunft. Alles ok
- Hannah (10/5): -
- Herbert (10/5): Um cair humano inigualável - Hotel aconchegante

- Meili (10/5): - La atención del personal, son super amables, educados, colaboradores. Super amorosos. El personal nos hizo la estadía maravillosa, super preocupados por todo La ducha.. hay que acomodar como funciona al momento
- Nadine C. (10/5): Hôtel extraordinaire pour l'emplacement et le cadre, le petit déjeuner et le personnel - Fabuleuse expérience dans cet hôtel qui est une ancienne maison coloniale. Nous avons été surclasséS dans une suite extraordinaire ! C'est la plus belle chambre et le petit déjeuner les plus extraordinaires de nos 6 semaines passées en Équateur. Nous recommandons vivement et chaleureusement cet hôtel avec un personnel véritablement aux petits soins, qu'ils soient à l'accueil ou au petit déjeuner. Le petit déjeuner se prend dans un charmant patio et si le temps le permet, dans le jardin, un cadre magnifique. L'emplacement est excellent et le parking gratuit est très sécurisé pour les voitures. Le service de laverie est parfait. Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans cet hôtel vraiment exceptionnel. RAS , tout était parfait !
- ROMIX (10/5): Excelente, volveremos. - El servicio muy bueno y la casa es muy bonita Todo bien
- Jean (10/5): You will be treated like family in a lovely boutique hotel. - The breakfast was excellent - local foods and plentiful. There is a lovely garden in the back where you can eat and relax. There are also several areas inside the hotel with comfortable furnishings for relaxing. Except for the rooms facing the street, the rest face the inside courtyard which is well-insulated from noise and weather (glass roof). But most of all the staff was so kind and helpful. The manager, Wilmer, took a real interest in my comfort and experience, making sure I had recommendations on where to eat and what to do. He answered several special requests with great kindness. The staff too worked hard to make my stay exceptional. I felt like family. I was even sent off by Wilmer and 3 staff members as I got into the taxi to go to the airport!. Honestly, there is little I can say for improvement. I would have liked a comfortable chair in the room (there was a desk and desk chair), but the room was too small for that. The public spaces with comfortable furniture made up for that.
- Elena Z (10/5): - La comida es brutal! Que se escucha mucho los ruidos de las habitaciones de a lado, especialmente cuando se bañan
- Markus (10/5): Außergewöhnliches Hostel - Alles…extrem schön …sowohl Zimmer als auch das gesamte Haus. Wirklich außergewöhnliches Frühstück- eher ein Brunch - das uns aufgrund früher Abreise auch bereits um 5:30 serviert wurde. Das gesamte Team war jederzeit sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. -
- Rosalía (10/5): Sitio genial para quedarse en Cuenca - Limpieza, decoración y amabilidad del personal. El desayuno muy rico y completo.
- Anne (10/5): Super verblijf! - Prachtig ingericht! Vriendelijk personeel. Dichtbij het centrum en toch net erbuiten zodat het rustig is. De muren zijn niet geluidsarm dus wij hadden 2 nachten pech met vuren die in midden van nacht een douche nemen. Gelukkig kwam personeel ter hulp
- Caroline (10/5): -
- adrian (10/5): Bardzo klimatyczny super hotelik przemili ludzie. - Super lokalizacja mega sympatyczna obsługa każdy pomocny pyszne śniadanie rewelacyjnie podane
- George (10/5): My new favourite place to stay in Cuenca. - Superb breakfast overlooking a garden courtyard. Best Tigrillo (fluffy plantain with cheese). Friendly staff. The manager invited me to accompany him to the market as he shopped for fresh fruits and vegetables. It's on quiet street a five minute walk to Parque Central. Terrific view of old city from the roof terrace. The bedroom curtains could have blocked out a little more light. The coffee was good but not excellent. Now I'm really struggling to find anything wrong.
- Mendieta Cabrera (9/5): Recomendando - La amabilidad de todo el personal es única, la limpieza es excelente y el desayuno es lo mejor del día, es un menú diferente a lo habitual.
- Tetyana (10/5): - El alojamiento muy cómodo. La atención del personal excelente. El desayuno delicioso
- Denis (10/5): Exceptionnel ! - Exceptionnel ! Hôtel idéalement situé à Cuenca. Le personnel a été aux petits soins pour nous. La chambre était très confortable et au calme. Le petit déjeuner est de loin le meilleur que nous ayons eu pendant notre voyage d'un mois en Équateur. Qualité des produits, qualité de la présentation, nous avons adoré. Et puis, après nous être absentés deux jours, nous sommes revenus au Montalvo et nous avons eu la surprise de constater qu'une suite coloniale nous avait été réservée pour le même prix. Inutile de dire que si nous revenons à Cuenca, c'est à l'hôtel Boutique Montalvo que nous reviendrons... Rien. Tout était parfait !
- Ronald (10/5): Très content d’un excellent séjour dans l’hôtel. Sans hésiter je peux retourner une fois de plus. - D’abord le personnel , très accueillant, l’endroit bien situé et un petit déjeuner locale mais excellent. Leur disponibilité, des gens très sympathiques.
- Carpio (10/5): - Nos encantó todo, un lugar muy bonito y acogedor ✨🥰
- Andres (9/5): Buena opción para recomendar - El desayuno y la atención del staff fue excelente Existe olor a humedad en las habitaciones
- Alvarado (10/5): -
- Debra (10/5): - A wonderful welcome and breakfast with a smile, helpful with every question and request and a super location.
- Ilse (10/5): Ich komme gerne wieder - Alles und vor allem das unvergesslich gute Frühstück das uns Wilmer zubereitet hat. Vielen Dank!
- Diego Francisco RL (10/5): - Atención
- Jensen (10/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Atmosphäre im Hotel war entsprechend angenehm. Das Frühstück, welches im Wintergarten liebevoll serviert wird, ist von herausragender Qualität.
- Bustos (10/5): Este lugar es maravilloso, limpio, bien ubicado, muy cerca del centro, el desayuno es fabuloso, la casa preciosa con m - Este lugar es maravilloso, limpio, bien ubicado, muy cerca del centro, el desayuno es fabuloso, la casa preciosa con muchos espacios para relajarse y descansar. Cada una de las personas que trabaja en el Hotel de preocupa de cada detalle y de hacer de la estadía algo especial. Totalmente recomendable. Maravilloso lugar!
- Tom (10/5): Feels like home !! 12 out of 10 points !! - One of the best experiences in all of our South America trip! Wilmer and his staff are not only absolutely supportive and availabe 24/7, but also welcoming and professional. Safe garage, repair shop, laundry, restaurant tips, whatever question you have - they help you with anything. We enjoyed our time there from the first to the last minute. Beautiful room, wonderful garden and a really excellent breakfast (with NO noisy TV set running) :-) Can´t ask for more.
- FinnClubEcuador (10/5): -
- Matej (10/5): Excellent choice - beautiful ambience, top-notch breakfast, comfortable beds, safe parking in a nearby parking lot, close to the center and very attentive and friendly staff -
- Jenny (10/5): Wonderful! -
- Eyre (10/5): Love this place! - Loved the staff, Wlmer, Ana, Andrés, Melania were just some of the staff but all of them were very friendly, very attentive and very professional. Breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. Every morning there was a speciality breakfast and jams made in house. The building itself was beautiful and very quiet. Loved practically everything, but our room could have used some more clothes hangers, but it wasn't a problem and im sure if we'd asked we could have gotten some.
- Mestanza (10/5): - Me encantó, Riquisimo el desayuno y todo el personal muy atento❤️❤️
- Joao (10/5): - Localização perfeita. Todo o staff uma simpatia. Pequeno almoço soberbo.
- James (10/5): Charming sanctuary - An absolutely beautiful place which was exactly what I was looking for. I had my phone stolen on New Years Eve and Wilmer the manager made extraordinary efforts to help over the next 5 or 6 days when I couldn't access money or do anything at all. He is a real treasure and a man with integrity, grace and humour
- Paola (10/5): - La atención, súper amables Nada
- Fabian (9/5): Great atmosphere - Quiet and great service. The garden with fruit trees and hummingbirds was great. Breakfast was excellent and beautifully decorated. No dinner
- Harald (10/5): - Personal super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Super Frühstück. Schöne, saubere Zimmer. Alles tiptop! Sehr zu empfehlen! Alles super!
- Janna (10/5): The staff made our experience so enjoyable. Willmer went above and beyond multiple times to be sure that we were comfort - This is a beautiful hotel with thoughtfully appointed rooms and a fantastic courtyard. The attention to detail is evident and it is centrally located near the square.
- Ricardo (7/5): Comfortable and great service - Small but delicious breakfast Very well located near tourist attractions and places of interest Nearby garage and free for my vehicle I should have chosen a bedroom with a garden view There should be a mini-fridge in the room
- Stefania (10/5): Our stay at this hotel was truly wonderful. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, the staff were attentive, -
- Jenny (10/5): We enjoyed our stay. Location, service, breakfast and room were perfect. - First time staying at this property and we really liked it. The service was fantastic, the location was perfect and it included a great breakfast. Room was surprisingly bigger than expected. Nothing at the moment.
- Karen (10/5): - Staff were great.
- Carlos Alberto (9/5): - Bellísima casa hotel. Excelente desayuno y su personal muy atento y servicial
- Jowo-- (10/5): - 고풍스런 건물에 인테리어도 멋져요. 조식 식당에서 보는 정원도 아름답고 조식도 매우 훌륭했어요. 위치도 좋아 대성당과 구도심도 아주 가까워서 좋았어요. 직원 윌머씨는 최고의 호텔리어예요. 키토 가는 버스표도 대신 구매해 주고 모든 면에서 완벽한 서비스였어요. 추천합니다.
- Carlos (10/5): -
- Martha (10/5): A perfect stay - What a perfect place to stay in Cuenca, the best place we stayed in our 5 weeks in Ecuador. Wilmer is an utter delight, nothing is too much trouble for him; breakfast was delicious; all the staff incredibly welcoming and friendly; room was beautiful, bed very comfortable; lots of lovely, tranquil spaces to hang out. Also an excellent location to explore the city. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you Wilmer and your team.
- Miguel (10/5): -
- Ryan (10/5): Lovely stay that will bring us back again. - Excellent stay. Perfect location. Walk to many parts of town but not located in a busy area. Incredible, homemade breakfasts in a flower filled courtyard. Staff is attentive and friendly, as well as professional. Historic building that is very charming and also has a cool rooftop patio. Gated parking is just around the corner. 1 minute walk. The walls are thin, so you can sometimes hear walking in the hallway or water running through pipes, but this will be the case with most any antique structures.
- Ingrid (10/5): Un paseo en un jardin en el centro de Cuenca - El hotel es muy bello, bien cuidado y ofrece un espacio de jardin encantador. Es posible desayunar cerca de la naturaleza, viendo pájaros y con mucha tranquilidad. Adicional, el personal del hotel fue increíble. Super atentos, educados y muy profesionales.
- Nelson (10/5): Excelente servicio. El anfitrión muy servicial y la ubicación muy buena. - El silencio de la habitación para poder dormir
- Kurt (10/5): Ein kleines aber sehr feines Hotel in Cuenca -> nicht verpassen - Alles war sehr gut: die Lage ist sehr zentral, unser Zimmer war aussergewöhnlich schön restauriert, das Frühstück war wahrscheinlich das Beste auf unserer viermonatigen Reise durch Südamerika -> einfach köstlich. Zudem verfügt das Hotel über einen reizenden, ruhigen Garten Der Eigentümer Wilmer ausserordentlich hilfreich und zuvorkommend und das gesamte restliche Personal extrem freundlich und charmant ——-
- BR1611 (9/5): Excelente B&B muy central - El hotel es hermoso, la ubicación es excelente y la administración es muy amable y atenta. Las habitaciones regulares son pequeñas, pero adecuadas para la relación calidad-precio. Baño simple, pero limpio, toallas impecables. El jardín es precioso!
- Norma Constanza (10/5): - Andrés y Wilmar excelentes anfitriones junto con el personal de servicios. Nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Los desayunos exquisitos y además son excelentes guías.
- JACINTO RODOLFO (10/5): -
- Katty (10/5): Un lugar muy acogedor, limpio el personal muy amable, delicioso desayuno y miy - Hermoso, impecable Un poco más de ventilación
- Myriam (9/5): I have traveled extensively, this hotel and his staff is one of the best of the world. - The hotel has an interior garden so magical, that our day started with flowers, trees, birds and a wonderful breakfast in the middle of this paradise. The staff is superb.
- Gregg (10/5): Overwhelmingly beautiful breakfast in a well located comfortable beautiful place with great service! - The service was amazing, very attentive, they noticed I was using a rolled up towel to support my neck so they brought me a curved neck support pillow, really thoughtful! The breakfast is not only delicious and overflowing, but is also artistically presented and felt really special. We stayed in the cottage in the back and it was a little bit musty, but everything else we liked.

- Silvia (10/5): A charming and comfortable stay with excellent service, delicious breakfasts, and a perfect location - I had an amazing stay at Hostal Casa Montalvo in Cuenca, Ecuador. The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed, perfectly maintaining a charming vintage style that makes the place feel warm and unique. I want to especially thank Patricia, Martin, Andres, and Wilmer—they truly made my stay enjoyable. They are very professional, friendly, and always helpful, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The location is excellent, just a few minutes from downtown, with easy access to everything you need. Breakfast was delicious every day and always a nice surprise—it included fresh fruit, coffee, eggs, and even tea made from their own cedrón plant, which was such a lovely and special touch. Everything was great, and I highly recommend Hostal Casa Montalvo to anyone visiting Cuenca. I would definitely stay here again! The only small downside was that the armoire had a noticeable smell of old clothing and wood, which is likely due to the vintage furniture. It didn’t ruin my stay, but it’s something that could be improved.
- Yannik (10/5): My girlfriend and I were allowed to spend four nights at Casa Montalvo and felt very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay in - - Beautiful kolonial style of the building - Very friendly staff - Delicious breakfast in a beautiful garden There was nothing we didn't like.

- Alan (10/5): Fabulous! - Excellent stay! Highly recommended! We stayed for five nights at Casa Hotel Montalvo in October 2025. It is a wonderful hotel, perfectly located for exploring the Cuenca historic District. My wife and I love to travel and this is one of our favorite places we have ever stayed. The atmosphere is peaceful. The bed and pillows were quite comfortable, giving us a good night’s rest. The breakfast room is lovely with beautiful murals, overlooking flowers and birds in the courtyard garden. Every day we looked forward to the fabulous artistic gourmet breakfast. Wilmer and his staff were welcoming and so helpful during our stay. Andres gave us some great ideas. They also arranged a terrific guide for us to visit Cajas National Park, which was a fabulous day trip. We highly recommend this hotel. Alan and Angela Nothing

- AKIYOSHI (9/5): クエンカの素晴らしい雰囲気を満喫できた - 朝食は中庭に面した大変心地よい場所で、料理や気配りが素晴らしかった。 部屋が昔の建物を利用しているため、窓が小さくプライバシーも現代のレベルから見ると貧弱に感じた
- Laurie (10/5): Excellent in every way! - Everything! We travel a lot and this is one of the nicest places we've stayed. The deluxe king suite was very large and beautifully decorated. The bed was huge and comfortable, and the shower had great water temperature and pressure. comfy couch and lots of room to unpack. Wilmer the owner was helpful, friendly and personable. It's evident that this hotel is extremely well run: every staff member we interacted with was cheerful and friendly. Between the staff, the decor and the light and airy common areas, the overall "vibe" of this hotel is like that of the city itself: welcoming, attractive, peaceful and classy. Breakfasts can only be described as works of art, complete with sculpted fruit plates and marmalades created by Wilmer. Fruit, pastries, eggs of all kinds, a variety of juices and a local dish was available every day. Even the coffee was good, which otherwise has not been our experience in Cuenca. The surrounding neighborhood is lively but quiet, walkable and safe, and convenient for sightseeing. There are many restaurants within easy walking distance. The only issue probably can't be fixed, which is that conversations in the hall and front desk area were clearly audible in our room. If you want complete quiet, ask for the garden suite.

- Mark (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Cuenca! - We absolutely loved this hotel! Our room was enormous, beautifully furnished with antiques and a huge very comfortable bed. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. The breakfast room was gorgeous – overlooking a beautiful courtyard garden and the breakfast was delicious! The hotel provided free parking nearby.
