Hotels in CuencaA simple 3-star hotel in Cuenca’s historic center
7.1/10
A convenient downtown base, but consistency is its weak spot.
Hotel Chat Noir Cuenca is a simple 3-star in the historic center, best considered for sightseeing rather than hotel comforts. Calderón Park and the cathedral are nearby, and breakfast and Wi-Fi are included. Recent Expedia guests praise courteous staff, useful tour advice and clean rooms; its generally positive booking-site ratings make it a reasonable, rather than standout, choice for its class.
The caveat is uneven execution. One 2026 guest reported missed housekeeping, while a family wanted more towels and better pillows. Tripadvisor’s much smaller sample includes a serious room-condition complaint and a separate reservation mix-up—not enough to establish the typical stay, but worth checking your booking and room carefully. There is no elevator, and parking is offsite. We’d skip it for travelers needing step-free access or reliably polished accommodation. Evidence remains limited and divided.

Best for: budget-minded historic-center sightseeing; short stays without a car
Watch out for: stairs with no elevator; uneven housekeeping and room condition; confirm the reservation and exact property name
Location: Walkable historic-center setting near Calderón Park, the cathedral and tram stops.
Rooms: Simple private-bathroom and family rooms; limited reviews give conflicting condition reports.
Cleanliness: Recent booking guests mostly positive, but missed housekeeping and one serious cleanliness complaint warrant caution.
Service: Helpful staff and tour advice receive praise; one Tripadvisor guest reported a reservation failure.
Amenities: Continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi, laundry and 24-hour reception; no elevator.
Fees and surprises: Paid offsite parking requires arrangements; one guest reported a card surcharge, so confirm payment terms.
