Hotel Boutique Magdalena By Chat Noir

Excellent multi night solo stay in their classic room. The staff encounters were all very friendly, starting with arriving around midnight by bus and being able to buzz reception and get checked in, morning breakfasts and key drops throughout the day, then assistance with referring a tour operator for day trips. Decor is very clean and cozy and location of the hotel is fantastic, within walking distance of major downtown sites, museums, eateries, and only a $2 ride to/from the bus terminal terreste. Reliable WiFi, spacious shared lounge areas, all and all a very enjoyable stay and base to explore Cuenca.

Our stay was disappointing due to poor professionalism and lack of basic customer service. Staff were not courteous and often appeared annoyed when we made simple requests. We had to repeatedly ask for pillows, and it took five days to receive a working safe. Basic amenities should not require constant follow-up.The jacuzzi takes about 30 minutes to warm up, yet management never informed us. Staff refused to turn it on in advance and would only activate it if we were standing right next to it, making it inconvenient to use.We also observed staff engaging in personal displays of affection in guest areas, which felt inappropriate and unprofessional.Overall, the service was below standard and needs serious improvement. Nuestra estancia fue decepcionante. El personal no era cortés y a menudo parecía molesto cuando hacíamos peticiones simples. Tuvimos que pedir almohadas repetidamente, y tardaron 5 días en darnos una caja fuerte que funcionaba. Las comodidades básicas no deberían requerir un seguimiento constante. El jacuzzi tarda unos 30 minutos en calentarse, pero la gerencia nunca nos informó. El personal se negó a encenderlo por adelantado y solo lo activaría si estábamos parados justo al lado, lo que dificultaba su uso.También observamos al personal participando en muestras personales de afecto en las áreas de invitados, lo que se sintió inapropiado y poco profesional. En general, el servicio estaba muy por debajo del estándar y necesita una mejora seria.

Toilet runs on hot water, which is horribly uncomfortable. Room had see through blinds and was brightly lit up every time anyone walked past, due to the motion sensor light in the common hallway. Also, when the lights were on, in the room, passersby could see in. The floor in the elevator was filthy and never vacuumed in four days. Toilet wasn’t cleaned two days out of four.

The hotel is in the middle of downtown. Surrounded by restaurants and sights of the city. The location and price were ideal. The place even had a jacuzzi and pool. The price was so reasonable. The place is old and has a charming beautiful rustic look.

Great staff. Close to Center of the old world. Clean room. Soft bed.

All good. The suite has a great view of the cathedral

Staff is friendly and helpful. Room was clean

Great Stuff, Great Service, But Ali Come Back Again

Había mucho ruido de otros huéspedes en la madrugada y el personal no hizo nada al respecto. Tuvimos que pedir toallas y papel higiénico porque no había.
