    fine terrace
    cozy library
    loud music

    Selina Cuenca has a fine terrace with river views and a cozy library vibe. The kitchen access is a huge plus for making late-night snacks. Just be ready for some loud music on weekends, it’s a bit of a party!

    cozy design
    central location
    terrace views
    noise issues
    staff interaction

    The cozy design of the hotel instantly caught my eye. Its central location made it easy to explore Cuenca’s charm, with the old town just a short walk away. I particularly loved the terrace views by the river, perfect for sipping coffee in the morning. Also, the shared kitchen was great for making our own meals. However, the noise level on weekends was a real issue. The bar next door turned the nights into a party scene, making it tough to get a good sleep. Check-in could have been smoother. I struggled to get specific recommendations and felt a bit brushed off by the staff. I expected more amenities in the room, like toiletries and proper soundproofing. I really enjoyed the vibe of the place, but they need to address the noise problem and improve staff training.

    The location is amazing with great views from the terrace and breakfast options that cater to different tastes. The staff were incredibly helpful, and the vibe is super cool (I loved hanging out in the library! ).

    Didn’t dislike anything about the property.

    delicious breakfast
    stunning terrace
    loud nightclub
    annoying wristband

    Absolutely loved the breakfast spread at Selina Cuenca, especially the local fish dishes that are fresh and delicious! The common areas, especially the awesome terrace, offer stunning river views. The cozy vibes make it easy to relax after exploring nearby gastronomic gems like Goza Espresso Bar and Yakumama.

    The Friday night noise from the club downstairs really tested my patience. it felt like a party next door! Plus, wearing that bright wristband made me feel a bit like a walking advertisement for the hotel. It’s a bit much when a simple keycard would do the trick.

    comfy bed
    fine views
    24-hour kitchen

    I had a great stay in a large room with a super comfy bed and pillows. The common areas are awesome, especially the terrace with fine views of the river. Plus, there's a 24-hour kitchen available, which was perfect for making meals. The staff were super accommodating, letting me store my big backpack even after check-out. Breakfast was included and had plenty of choices!

    incompetent staff
    noisy environment

    this place could be decent, but the staff is utterly incompetent. asked the receptionist for help numerous times—nothing done! also, the room wasn't what i expected, and there was a loud club nearby ruining my peace. i mean, a complimentary upgrade woudl ve been a nice touch, but i guess that’s too much to ask. just couldn’t give a good review.

    What you should know

    The accommodation is beautifully decorated and clean. The terrace offers stunning views by the river. I was immensely grateful for the helpful staff who kindly accommodated my late check-out request.

    The noise levels at night were quite disruptive, especially from the lively bar nearby, affecting my sleep quality. Additionally, I noticed the shared bathroom was inadequately cleaned during my stay.

    beautiful terrace
    accommodating staff
    noise disturbance

    great location but noisy on weekends

    The location next to the river provided stunning views and a tranquil environment. The common areas were well-designed, featuring a cozy library and vibrant art that made spending time there enjoyable. Staff were very accommodating. they stored my backpack and allowed me full access to facilities even after check-out. I appreciated the varied breakfast, which offered healthy choices and was a great way to start the day.

    However, the noise from nearby bars disrupted my sleep during my stay.

    noisy nights
    poor cleanliness

    central location, beautiful building, shared kitchen

    Noise levels at night could wake the dead!!! The common bathroom situation was incredibly subpar, cleaned only once in four days and far too few facilities for the number of rooms!!! And those thick, ugly carpets? Just gross!!!

    vibrant food scene

    Comfort and Convenience Await!

    Despite a few hiccups, my stay was enjoyable. I loved the vibrant local food scene nearby, particularly the granola at breakfast! The co-working space was charming, perfect for catching up on work. Note, request a quieter room away from the party noise to maximize comfort.
