Hotel Norte places you in Cuenca with easy access to some of the city’s most recognized anchors, including Pumapungo Museum, Tomebamba River, San Blas square, and Cuenca New Cathedral. It is a practical hotel stay for travelers who want to keep the day grounded in the city, with Mariscal Lamar International Airport close by and the pace of the center within reach. The setting is straightforward and well connected, giving you a place to return to after time out in the streets and squares nearby. Inside, the rooms come with bed linen and towels, and the stay includes comforts that support a simple, flexible visit, with WiFi, TV, and room service available. Some details, such as balcony or terrace access, may vary by room, but the overall feel is one of ease and convenience rather than excess. Shared spaces add to that rhythm. Guests can use the lounge, terrace, and bar, while the hotel also offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transportation, a kids’ club, a playground, and private parking. Wheelchair accessible features are available, and the property is pet friendly upon request, with charges that may apply. For travelers balancing work, family time, or a short city stop, the setup is designed to keep the day moving without friction. On foot, the surroundings make it easy to move between cultural landmarks and everyday city moments, then come back to a stay that feels clear, functional, and easy to remember.

Hotel Norte Reviews
Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The hotel is situated in Central Cuenca so you're only minutes away from most things.
The wood grain decor and furnishings are welcome in a world of plastic and metal.
Negative: I expected more from an establishment of this reputation.
The WiFi was very poor and this business of locking the front gate rather than giving guests a front gate key is boring.
The toilet roll in the shared bathroom needs to refilled at more regular intervals.
Install a mirror in the room so I know I'm looking my sharpest whilst I'm dressing.
Summary: Central Hotel with improvements needed

Positive: Decent property which could use a little love as parts feel dated. Good location on a main square and not far from central areas.
Negative: The door was always locked so you could never get in or out without sometimes having to wait a while for a staff member to come from whatever job they were doing upstairs. Feels a little tired and not very soundproof. A loud American kept me awake one night on his phone having an argument and we could hear every word.

Positive:
I was really pleasantly surprised. My room was spacious, had a view over a busy square and the hotel ist very centrally located. Basically, within walking distance from the main bus station (terminal terrestre) and the airport could be reached by tram (3 or 4 stops for 1 USD). There is no Uber in Cuenca but taxis usually used the meter and are quite inexpensive.
For the price ... I paid a bit less than 40 USD for three nights for a private room with inside bathroom. There is no breakfast option but there are plenty of places nearby.
Staff was extremely friendly and if one is looking for a good budget option, the Hotel Norte is a good choice.
Negative:
Not really a complaint, but just so you know ... the hot water in the shower takes a while but then it was one of the best showers I had in Ecuador ... very good pressure.
Summary: Great budget option close to the center, the bus station and the airport
