Hotel Crespo
50 Years of Service to Cuenca's Visitors

Hotel Crespo has been welcoming guests to Cuenca for 50 years. Perched on the barranco (riverbank) above Tomebamba River, many of the rooms have spectacular views of New Town and the mountains off to the south. And its location at the southern edge of El Centro makes it very handy for a downtown walking adventure.

The Rooms in Hotel Crespo

A Hotel Crespo guest room

All of the 39 guest rooms (on five floors, from river level up to above street level) are different sizes.

Each is decorated differently as well, one with ornate columns and arches above the bed. Only a few have a bathtub; the rest have showers.

Your favorite will be one of the rooms with a terrace overlooking the river and New Town.

The remaining rooms have city views from their windows. Some of these rooms are in need of remodeling or new furniture.

Every room has heating, television and AM-FM radio and a mini-bar.

Rates (which include breakfast and taxes) are $84 per night for one person, $108 for a two-person room, and $120 for three people.
