However the hostel itself is quite dead, there’s not much of a vibe going on and plus the rooms are very small. For a private room, the pillows are terrible you can’t sleep well on them. The showers are missing a cap so the water sprays intensely all over. The floor gets flooded easily and it never evaporates. The hostel is also not well insulated so it gets cold at night. The location is central. The Wi Fi is quite bad and unstable I kept losing connection through my 3 night stay. It is cheap and good price for a private room but only stay there if you value a rooftop view in city plaza.

The room was very spacious, the beds are comfortable (maybe I would suggest only a slightly larger pillow) and it was very clean! On the roof there is a kitchen and a bar and enough room to chill. The owner Tony is very hospitable and welcoming. When you arrive, he will give you an explanation of the city and all the activities you can do within and outside the city. He will identify all places on Maps.me, so you know where they are. It also helps you organize activities if you need help or suggestions. For me he helped me travel to Cajas National Park. Tony is also a person who brings people together and he made my stay feel like a home away from home. I would highly recommend a stay in El Cafecito.

The rooftop is amazing and very cozy including a nice kitchen. And most important Tony is a great host and gave me a lot of nice Information and recommondations for Cuenca and my further trip to Peru and Bolivia. Finally i got invited by him to lunch, he really cared about me feeling at home! Thanks for all! Service: 5

Especially the rooftop is really cozy and I spend most of my evening just hanging out there. Service: 5
