Villa Nova has a great location, and friendly English speaking staff. We had a great room overlooking the river, but we did notice that some rooms had no windows so check this out before you book. Good value for money - clean, efficient service and good breakfasts. More

Affordable with a great location on Rio Tomebamba. This was base camp for me while I studied Spanish for two months. Convenient to eatery, entertainment and shopping. Terrific staff!! More

I stayed for 2 weeks while I explored Cuenca. The staff is great and the price is awesome value. I had a room with a view of the river that also had a small balcony. I had breakfast in my room every morning. The internet connection was also great in my room and around the hotel. It's not a high... More

Find out what room you'll be in and ask for a detailed description. We were in #2 - first floor and all foot traffic into the hotel passed right in front of our window. Some mold issues in the room, too - bad for those sensitive to it. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke English... More

We were under the impression that this was a nice hotel in the moderate price range. What we found were basic rooms with only beds and no other furnishings. None of the rooms had heat, and it was quite chilly when we were there. There was no place to hang anything either. The beds and the pillows were both worn,... More

Make sure you speak with this hotel and understand exactly which room they are giving you. We arrived with our two older daughters. We were given a very small room on the first night, with no window and about the size of my daughters bedroom. With the 4 of us and suitcases we could barely walk. The hotel Administrator told...

My room overlooked the Rio Tomebamba -- there's a constant 'roar' as the river splashes over the rocks, great for sending one off to sleep. The staff was great -- helpful with restaurant and sight-seeing suggestions. They spoke perfect English, but were also willing to listen to my muddled Spanish! Security was excellent -- my room was across from the... More

Liars! These people are all liars. I rate it very good simply because I never give any hotel an "excellent". As I write this, I am looking out the window of room 12 and listening to the river. There are joggers of all ages in the park, students scurrying by, and humanity crossing the bridge. The old city is around... More

My wife and me were staying in the room 12. The room was absolutely gorgeous, the bathroom very nice , the shower huge, and there was a sunroof in this one which gives a nice warm atmosphere! The staff brilliant and very helpful! They bring the breakfast into the room (you need to ask for that) which is good start... More

Almost every room in this small hotel has a view of the river and park behind it. The staff was friendly and helpful and spoke English. Also, they were able to recommend points of interest, restaurants, etc. (One of the best restaurants I went to in Ecuador was one they suggested to me)--the service and food were fantastic. The rooms... More
