Opened in 2017, superchill and aesthetically appealing Pepe's House is Cuenca's hostel for travelers who've graduated from party mode. With a colorful but minimalist style, dorms with cushy beds are partitioned with half-walls for some privacy, while private rooms feel like guest bedrooms at a friend's place. Ample common space invites lounging, while the in-house cafe offers wholesome, tasty eats.
It is all enclosed in a huge, serene courtyard and additional perks include free laundry for stays of longer than three days (otherwise, it's a reasonable $5), and free walking tours of the city.
