Ecuador Accommodation

My stay at this hotel was fantastic. From now on, this will be the standard against which I will judge a 'boutique' hotel. The unremarkable exterior of the hotel hides the treasures within. From the friendly, knowledgeable and bilingual (at least bilingual -- one well-traveled staffer was conversant in at least four languages) to the interior wrap-around balcony overlooking the hotel's restaurant and lobby, the charming and intimate Hotel Boutique Los Balcones enhanced my visit to Cuenca. The staff is friendly without being intrusive. Breakfast is served on the third floor covered veranda, with sliding glass windows which can close if the weather is bad. Although I did not eat at the restaurant, several guests which whom I spoke raved about the food.
