Hotel Inca Real

This is absolutely a charming hotel. It is so well located in the old city that you can walk and see everything from the old cathedral to the new. The market is very close as is the river and so many museums. The rooms are very well accommodated and the beds are very comfortable. The rooms are not air conditioned but we had no need while we were there. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The breakfast is wonderful with made to order eggs each day. The on site restaurant has a good selection and very delicious options. Highly recommend if you are not looking for the cookie cutter room.

If you are looking for an interesting and reasonably budget friendly hotel in Cuenca, the Hotel Inca Real is a great choice. Its location (2 blocks from Plaza Calderon) is perfect. The staff is as friendly and helpful as they come. Its multiple courtyards, that run along a long axis, are bright and inviting. You might get fancier breakfasts elsewhere, but you’ll pay quite a bit more for them (and the made to order omelettes at Inca Royal quite good). One reviewer complained about the coffee. OK, it’s from a conventional coffee maker, but it wasn’t at all bad when I was there. Another reviewer complained about noise. The rooms can be noisy. The walls are hard and our room (8b) did not keep the noise from getting in. But at night, when we wanted to sleep, it was as quiet as anyone could have wished. We slept really well while we were there.

Centrally located and easy to walk to many tourist attractions. Our room was spacious and comfortable and reasonably quiet, although we did find it rather warm and stuffy as it only had windows onto an inner courtyard. The bathroom could perhaps have done with an update, but it was clean and functional. We ate in the restaurant a couple of times and the tapas were delicious. We loved the quirkinesses and character of the hotel and the staff were always helpful and courteous.

I live the old and antique style. yes it is a bit noisy, it is over 200 years old after all. The rooms are clean and the bathroom newly updated. Love all the natural light coming into the courtyards and the fresh air flow. Staff at reception very friendly and helpful. Good English spoken here.

We spent 2 nights in the Inca Real visiting the historic parts of Cuenca as well as birding Caja National Park. The hotel is lovely. Composed of colonial homes built in the 1800s, but modernized so that each room has a private bath. The owner and staff members were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was a delicious buffet with an "omelet master" and everything else you needed to get ready for walking the historic area. Our dinners were delicious. Local folks come to eat in the restaurant so that says a lot for a place in an area full of tourists! They did tapas for us our last evening as we had a late flight back to Quito and it was perfect! Thank you, Inca Real, for a lovely stay!

Gorgeous hotel, very helpful staff. Accommodated us last minute rather late and gave us a charming room. Breakfast was delicious. Incredible value for the price. Water was not exactly hot however, the only negative, but cool showers are good every now and then!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast was superb. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and spacious. Free Wi-Fi is included.

Only stayed 1/2 day being we were taking a bus to Quito. But the building was beautiful, staff went out of their way to help you. Made copies for us answering all our questions. Had lunch $10 pp was excellent. Soup, entree, dessert and juice. Would like to spend a few days . Unfortunately it’s the middle of the virus so kind of stuck inside . But its all good
