The hostal itself is gorgeous. Enourmous building with endless stairs and hallways. Our room was super big with very comfy bed, pillows and bathroom. Location is right at the busy street with all the clubs and restaurants which is nice if you're looking for that.

Our second night, there was A LOT of noise (music). It was like the party was inside our room instead of in some club in the street. The breakfast was a little improvised because of renovations. I guess this is temporary so will probably be better soon.

good location, amenities, and rooftop view

half of the staff does their job while the other is just passing time? i asked the same girl at reception for help twice, one was very urgent (my friend needed to see a doctor). she didn’t care at all, said she would help and didn’t do anything. second time we needed help with a problem in our room. we asked her about 3-4 times. she smiled, didn’t do anything. incompetent

I had a really good experience staying at Selina Cuenca. My flight was very delayed so my arrival was much later than planned and the staff were very helpful in allowing me to organise a late check out. After such a long time spent travelling I was so grateful for their helpfulness. The accommodation is beautifully decorated, clean and spacious. The breakfast was great and I loved the terrace. Thank you for a great stay!

Outstanding hostel Firstly, it's located exactly where you want to be in Cuenca, outside many eateries, a step away from the historic square and surrounded by Cuenca's organic beautiful such as a the river out the front. The hostel staff are second to none, I became severely ill on my last day and they cared for me until I could travel again. I can't think them enough.

It could get a tad loud at night.

Amazing place , great location and not loud although around many bars and restaurants. Helpful staff, cool vibe and beautiful terrace where you have breakfast (which is also yummy and you can pick from different choices ) and drinks in the evening . Also , hot shower ! Which is not an easy find in Cuenca !

Nothing . Really great place ! Would for sure return.

Surprisingly well-priced for a Selina. The room and bed were very comfy, the design everywhere is beautiful and I loved the yoga deck

We were next to the road so it was a bit noisy at night - not too crazy though. If you are hoping for a long-term stay where you cook, forget it; the kitchen is not equipped at all and is very forgotten in the building

Great location and the building is beautiful, also really loved the yoga classes and breakfast offered was very generous compared to most hostels

We got a small room to save money, and be warned it is small - I was fine but my partner is 6 foot 2 and found it cramped. Just to be aware of, but the room was very comfortable and clean otherwise and there were lots of communal spaces to go instead so it wasn't a problem

The room was cozy and clean, the property was well-maintained and located, and the staff was super helpful (including the folks at the in-house travel agency).

The room to our door was finicky and was difficult to shut properly which wasn't a huge deal but was inconvenient.

Selina is very-very beautiful. It is the old building when decorator created amazing place. There are a lot of common zones for everyone and everything. Beautiful view and terrases. The stuff really want to help you and have a good English. They did a lot for us to change our room and give us a real room like on photos and I,m very appreciate them! Clean, large, good furnished room and every day cleaning. There are also a heater!

1. By defolt we got a room not the same with booking photos (bathroom was different, worse). But the reception lady do she's best for us and changed it. 2. But there was rather strong sewers smell from the bathroom. 3. The breakfast is meager and the price is not reasonable.

Selina has an amazing location that is close to everything. I really like the bedrooms and the activities that were held in the facilities.

Since it's at the center of the city at night it was pretty loud given that there are a lot of clubs around. Maybe thicker windows might help.
