Hotel Calle Angosta

We recently visited Cuenca, Ecuador, and stayed at several hotels, including Hotel Calle Angosta, which was our least favorite. The hotel is located in the historic district, within walking distance of Parque Calderon, the central plaza, and the beautiful Rio Tomebamba walking trails. The staff was accommodating, allowing us to leave our luggage before check-in and after check-out. However, there were several issues. Our room was much smaller compared to the others we stayed in, and it had a strong chemical odor, especially after room service. The room lacked sufficient electric outlets, with only two available—one by the bed and one behind a clothes armoire, making it inaccessible. The window opened into a common area, blocked by a heavy curtain. The bed was comfortable, but the sheets would come off every night due to being old and loose. The room had only one mirror above the sink, which made it difficult for two people to get ready. The shower had good water pressure, but we were given difficult-to-open shampoo packets, and the soap dispenser was empty. We also had to ask for more toilet paper. Breakfast was minimal: a small bowl of fruit, a roll, scrambled eggs, juice, and coffee. No staff checked if we wanted more food. Overall, Hotel Calle Angosta did not meet our expectations and was our least favorable stay.
