“In my opinion, this is a particularly welcoming place, evidenced by the offer of hot tea after a long journey. Located a short bus ride from Cuenca in Tarqui, the hotel provides a communal kitchen and satisfying breakfasts. I also appreciate the pet-friendly policy, making it a top consideration for those traveling with dogs.”
