Delicious, well rounded breakfast served warm from the kitchen.
I was well pleased with the beautiful decor, friendliness of the staff and the overall comfortability of Villa Emilia. I have no complaints at all.

Properties and facilities in general are of good taste, clean and personnel are kind and helpful
It is well located and easy to access malls, banks, pharmacies , restaurants and coffee shops. And even walking you are near to historical sites.

The staff was amazing, very helpful & attentive! We traveled with our medium size dog and there were lovely parks around the hotel for her to enjoy.
Breakfast was great! good endless coffee which was perfect for the chilly Cuenca mornings.

We have been staying at Villa Emilia for many years now. The place is super clean. They do provide daily room service with towels and make up the beds. We like their breakfast. The staff is super helpful always. On site parking was a plus.it always feels like a home away from home because it’s a small hosteria.. It’s walking distance to great restaurants, a super maxi, and a small mall. we refer them to our friends all the time. We stayed for eight nights this last time due to appointments. I’ve been here in Ecuador for 15 years now.

I feel like I made new friends even though I was only there for 9 days! The location in El Vergel was very convenient to walk to different parts of Cuenca. I would highly recommend this establishment!
Everything was so perfect and amazing!

The building is utterly beautiful inside: mahogany wood, an onyx spiral staircase! The owner sometimes man's The front desk himself. Everyone was very helpful, and the location is excellent.
Breakfast options are limited, as with most included breakfasts. The garden needs more upkeep to be welcoming.

The Main reason we chose this property was because they allowed our boxer. I understand how allowing dogs in a hostel can be hard but I could find anyone to take care of our dog away.
The Staff is excellent. The breakfast is very delicious and the rooms are very professional

Large room and friendly staff.
The kitchen noise woke up my girlfriend very early in the morning (before 7am)

The location a few blocks from stores, restaurants, Parque Madre, the Tomebamba River, and the bridge to Centro Historico was great! The bed was very comfortable with great pillows and bedding. My room only had a small high window so not a lot of natural light but good lighting in the room. The Internet worked well. The bathroom had a good hot shower. The free coffee, tea, and water in the lobby were appreciated. I had requested a fan (I find it helps to muffle noises in these historic properties) and the staff had one available for me. Excellent service from all hotel personnel I interacted with. The breakfast was above and beyond expectations - the small menu provided several choices. It was the best I have had in Ecuador so far! The lobby area was furnished well with sofas and chairs.
A couple of downsides - not enough visible plugs for those of us traveling with multiple devices (I used bathroom plugs) and no real working desk area. Lack of natural light. No minifridge for snacks and leftovers. A little pricey.

It was clean in all areas
The breakfast could be a better breakfast with more options and at least everything that they have on on their menu to be available
Thank you for your information!
