A good selection of typical Ecuadorian food with great trout dishes. Best to keep away from the rooms by the hot pool since there were many children during our stay. Clean and tidy and good value! More

I recently returned to Cuenca (with my wife and my grandson in tow) for the second time in the last two years, and as I did during my visit in 2010, I chose to stay at the truly enjoyable Hosteria Durán on the western edge of the city. Once again, I was extremely impressed by this Spanish colonial-style hotel originally... More

We (self, wife adult son) stayed here 2 nights and it was a highlight of our trip round Ecuador. Real style and attention to guests, good, interesting food, excellent buffet breakfast, spacious rooms. The pool of course was great, and was available until late in the evening. Our rooms were spacious and attractive and quiet. The only flaw was on... More

We arrived at Hosteria Duran and were greeted by Marcelo Barros (Gerente De A&B), who treated us like royalty... We given a tour of the property, and shown to our room which was far and away more than expected. We were given fresh towels and robes each day for our use as we strolled around the property moving from the... More

First night we checked in with our 77 year old father. They gave us rooms three levels above the pool. Then they went one level down. We had a wonderful dinner. The next morning all tables were dirty. They made us wait 30 minutes before they cleared the table off. Then a long wait to order breakfast and get coffee... More

After staying downtown in one of the converted mansions, we checked Hosteria Duran and decided to spend our last two nights in Cuenca here. Very nice place, a great value, cluean, nice staff, free internet and relaxing pools. There is not much around to do, but you can walk up to the hill to a beautiful church. There is also... More

The best place to relax. There are 4 swimming pools that are fed by water from hot springs. There is nothing more amazing than spending time in a giant "spa". The food in the restaurant was exceptional and the service in the restaurant was outstanding. Overall, the staff at this location does their best to make you feel at home. More

Located outside of Cuenca, in a suburb area called Banos. Not to be confused with the famous Banos town of the same name, in the Central Highlands. Breakfast included. Our family of 4-- 2 adults and 2 kids ages 11 and 5. Stayed two nights. Room 203 overlooking the pool area. We have lived in Quito, Ecuador, for 4 years.... More

We did not stay here but visisted twice during our stay in Ecuador to use the pools ands visit the Restaurant. All I can say is WOW my kids had a blast in the pools we walked around and visited and ended both day in the restuarant. I would say this would be considered a 5 star place in Ecuador... More
