Pleasantly Surprised
Macondo is a “hidden” gem and is an excellent value. I would DEFINITELY stay here again. The owner, who spoke excellent English, went well beyond the norm to assist with anything I needed, more so than any hotel I stayed at during my 3 weeks in Ecuador. He offered to personally take my to a Covid test center for example. Bed is quite comfortable, and since the rooms are set back from the road, it is exceptionally quiet. The garden is a pleasant addition. The self serve Breakfast is simple, but adequate. The juice included is excellent. One has access to the kitchen in the afternoon and evenings. Negatives. I stayed three nights and the room wasn’t cleaned during that time. Maybe I needed to ask? The last morning I didn’t have hot water. Not sure why. It was fine other times.

Very close to tranvia for access to bus terminal for day trips. Lovely garden. Very quiet even though it was in the heart of town.

Great place to stay in Cuenca
I very much enjoyed my stay at Casa Macondo. It is well-located in El Centro and very secure. You can easily walk to the centre of town, and there are lots of shops, taxis, and restaurants nearby. Franz is very helpful and speaks English. My room was comfortable. There is green space in the courtyard, free breakfast, laundry service, and a common kitchen. Some rooms also have kitchens.

Macondo is a very well-kept Hostal. The inner courtyard is green and beautiful, wifi very fast, and an excellent breakfast was included. The staff was friendly and competent. Booking a hotel online can be hit or miss, but this was a winner.

Bien pero la puerta del cuarto no cerraba bien del todo. En el baño tenía una ventana que daba a una bodega y se apreciaba cuando la gente entraba... por lo menos podrían poner una cortina en la ventana para que no se vea de afuera. la luz no se puede apagar desde la cama. no había mucho espacio para poner las cosas o trabajar.
