The pictures that we saw of the property were very out dated. The tree in the court yard was larger than the photo. Our room was at the back of the hotel right on the river which caused it to be damp with a bad smell in the kitchen and the bedroom closet. Hot water was sometimes an issue. One... More

My husband and I stay at Otorongo hotel/apartments on March 2 2012 for 6 nights. We visit Cuenca to look for places we will like to live when we retire early next year. The apartments are simple with every thing you need for a short or long stay. I enjoyed having a kitchen to prepare late snacks and make a... More

This is a great option for a vacation in Cuenca, lovely hosts and very friendly, helpful staff. It is only a 10 minutes walk along the river to downtown and just a few blocks to a great restaurant although the kitchen in the apartment is great.

We stayed a week at Otorongo and had a 2 bedroom apartment. The Apartment was adequate but not very quiet. We had a room that had the bedrooms facing the busy street and it was not great for a quiet rest at night. They have a dog that is barking alot below the windows to our apartment not to mention...

We had replace a couple already, and we are going to be done by the end of this week ,... More

My husband and I stayed 5 nights in Jan 2012 in Otorongo. It offers the advantage of a kitchen with full size frig, 4-burner stove, and hot water in the kitchen as well as bath, plus two bedrooms, and daily cleaning service that will even wash your dishes! The complex surounds a beautiful garden with a burgeoning orchid section. The... More

We stayed here in January & February 2011. Absolutely excellent location. It is literally close to EVERYTHING. Easy walking to everywhere. The room(s) are very basic and you'll need to either bring or buy a radio ( we brought ). Cable is OK if you want to learn Spanish or, you have ONE english program to watch (Bloomberg !?!) but...

We stayed at the Otorongo for several weeks while attending language school. The amenities were totally comfortable and just what we needed to make a home away from home. The hot showers are fabulous and the new wood floor is a plus. The location was perfect! Close enough to walk to just about everything, yet the sound of the river... More

I stayed a month at the Torongo apartments. The family run business has a great staff that provide daily housekeeping. The lovely grounds were perfect to sit and visit with other travelers. It is a ten minute walk to the center of town. I was very appreciative of the strong Internet connection and cable T V. I was pleased with... More

The rooms are spacious, beds were comfortable, room service came every morning and made beds, cleaned bathroom, washed dishes and mopped floor. Kitchen had gas stove top but no oven. Dishes and utensils were provided but minimal. Plenty of hot water. Good shower. Sofa was not comfortable. I think the owners are doing some upgrades which should help. Not every... More
