Overall a very nice stay in a beautiful historic building
Pros:

The grounds were surprising and beautiful, with many places to sit and relax. The staff was very nice and helpful.

Cons:

For the quality of the hotel, the grout in the bathroom was dirty, and there was mold on the walls by the shower.
Breakfast was nice, but for tea drinkers, it was annoying to get a tiny cup of tea and always ask for a top off and a new tea bag. It would be nice to have teapots.

Nous avons adoré !
Pros:

Très bel hôtel, bien situé au cœur de Cuenca. Suite spacieuse, dans un environnement calme, très confortable et chaleureuse. Literie de qualité et de nombreuses petites attentions du personnel (bouillottes dans le lit mises le soir, même s’il ne faisait pas froid dans la chambre c’est une attention agréable, un petit mot d’accueil à l’arrivée et un plateau de fruits). Le reste de l’hôtel est très beau aussi, excellent petit déjeuner et très bon restaurant. J’ai oublié quelque chose dans la chambre en partant, l’hôtel m’a rapidement prévenu et a organisé l’envoi de ce que j’avais oublié dans un autre hôtel où je devais séjourner. Un grand merci à toute l’équipe, nous avons passé un superbe séjour

Cons:

Tout était parfait!

Excellent stay at this hotel. Highly recommend staying here when visiting Cuenca!
Pros:

Very clean, centrally located making getting around Cuenca a breeze, and the staff were extreme friendly, helpful and responsive (they’ll help you find a taxi, recommend great spots to eat and things to see, and the front desk was available essentially 24/7)

We had a minor issue with the flushing mechanism in our toilet and we told staff. They fixed it immediately!

For the price I paid for this five star hotel - Massively underwhelming!
Pros:

The location is perfect. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional. The breakfast was really nice too. These are the good things and I can recommend these specifically.

Cons:

The two things I hated I'll leave until last. But to start with, the room itself wasn't as large as I expected for the price I paid, the photos I saw prior to booking and also the fact that this is a five star hotel. This was a treat to myself after 6 weeks travelling around Colombia and Ecuador and a combination of staying in hostels, eco lodges and 3 star hotels. The room was not the most comfortable. Now for the two things that were awful:

1. The wifi in the rooms was absolutely shocking - non existent! I had to leave the property to arrange Uber's, check in for flights etc, really annoying.

2. There was a piano outside my room in the lobby. Some geezer in the hotel felt compelled to play this every night between 7pm - 9pm. I get up early, have breakfast and walk and explore the city. From 8pm onwards I like to relax and sleep as I am tired from travelling all day. This was impossible for me to do with my noise cancelling headphones playing music to drown out the guy playing a piano outside my door.

If this place advertised that a guy would be playing a piano outside my door every night, irrespective of if I liked it or not, I would not have dreamed of booking this hotel. Never, ever has the thought occurred to me when trying to sleep in a hotel "do you know, what would improve this experience? Yep, someone playing a loud piano outside my door". It's not for me at all.
