Hostal Macondo

Cuenca


The colonial-style Hostal Macondo has spotless, slightly dark, palatial rooms in the front, older section, and small, but cozy, rooms situated around a big garden out back, making this one of the best midrange deals in town. Longer-staying guests will enjoy access to the well-equipped and spotless kitchen, and everyone likes the continental breakfasts with bottomless cups of coffee.
