Good to know
Good to Know
- Ecuador's official currency is the US Dollar, so local and USD prices shown here are identical — no conversion or exchange-rate risk to worry about.
- Cuenca's coworking scene is small — four main dedicated spaces (IMPAQTO, La Ofi, Coworking Cuenca, and the Selina/Socialtel hotel space) plus a couple of smaller or chain options — so it's worth trying more than one on a free trial day before committing to a monthly membership.
- Most of the main spaces (IMPAQTO, La Ofi, Coworking Cuenca) offer a free trial day and month-to-month membership with no long-term contract, so you can test the vibe before paying.
- If you book what's listed online as 'Selina Cuenca,' be aware the property increasingly appears under the name 'Socialtel Cuenca' on booking platforms — confirm current coworking access and pricing directly with the hotel.
- Casa Rivera at the University of Cuenca is a genuinely free coworking option if budget is tight, though it won't have the amenities or community of the paid spaces.
- Ecuador's official currency is the US Dollar, so there's no exchange-rate conversion to worry about — local and USD prices are the same number.
- None of Cuenca's coliving-hybrid spots function like an exclusive members' club (no waitlists, no invitation-only access) — they're closer to a coworking space with an accommodation add-on than a Soho House-style social club.
- At IMPAQTO, the room price (dorm/private) and the coworking desk price are usually separate line items, not one bundled membership fee — worth confirming directly what's included before assuming 24/7 coworking access comes free with a room.
- Selina's advertised CoLiving monthly rate is set at a network level (varies a bit by season/promo) rather than being a fixed, published Cuenca-only number — ask the front desk for the current month's rate and any first-timer discount.
- The 'first coliving space in Cuenca' listing on Coliving.com doesn't publish its price up front; you only see the address and final monthly cost after a booking request is submitted.
Coworking Spaces
Traditional and Hotel-Based Spaces
IMPAQTO Coworking Cuenca
- Type
- Traditional coworking
- Neighborhood
- Near Parque de la Madre, Av. 12 de Abril, along the Tomebamba River (central, upscale riverside area)
- Vibe and Amenities
- The pioneer-feeling but polished option, part of a 5-location IMPAQTO network (the other four in Quito, with cross-access via an IMPAQTO passport). Two-level layout with sofas, ergonomic desk chairs, an astroturf lounge area, a soundproofed call booth, and padded benches, plus a green panoramic view of the Tomebamba River. Considered the most community/networking-oriented of the traditional spaces; can get noisy and seating fills up during busy periods. Dog-friendly.
Day pass
- Note
- No flat day-pass advertised; sells hour blocks instead of a single-day rate.
Hour Block Pricing
- 40 Hours Per Month
- $127
- 80 Hours Per Month
- $157
Monthly Price
- Unlimited
- $197
La Ofi Coworking
- Day pass
- $10
- Type
- Traditional coworking
- Neighborhood
- El Centro (historic center), Bolívar 14-36 y Estévez de Toral
- Vibe and Amenities
- Newer, design-forward and considered by some the most luxurious of Cuenca's coworking options. Standout feature is an in-house audio-visual studio with green and black screen backdrops, plus a cafeteria, a large meeting room (8–10 people), two smaller private meeting rooms, and around 50 fixed offices. Good hourly rates make it comparatively better value for casual/part-time use than IMPAQTO.
Monthly Price
- Unlimited
- $200
- Note
- Hour-block tiers also available: 40 hrs = $80, 80 hrs = $120 per month; a limited-time 'Membresía Emprendedor' unlimited offer was advertised at $140/month on La Ofi's own Facebook page.
Coworking Cuenca
- Type
- Traditional coworking
- Neighborhood
- Av. 27 de Febrero, on the Yanuncay River — described by some sources as out of the centre and away from good food options, though other listings describe it as near the commercial centre and main universities (location descriptions conflict between sources)
- Vibe and Amenities
- Cuenca's original coworking space (opened 2017) and the cheapest in the city. Free coffee, a roof terrace, and a partnership with TEDx Cuenca for occasional events. Amenities also reported to include table games, a PlayStation, TV, and a grill area — a relaxed, budget, walk-before-work kind of vibe rather than a polished corporate one.
Day pass
- Note
- No fixed day-pass price found; a free trial day is commonly offered.
Monthly Price
- Unlimited
- $40
- Dedicated Office Top Floor
- $250
Zona 256
- Type
- Traditional coworking
- Neighborhood
- El Vergel (the more modern part of Cuenca)
- Monthly Price
- $190
- Vibe and Amenities
- Distinguished by 24-hour access (unlike the other main coworking spots in the city) and basic IT support included. Pet-friendly.
Day pass
- Note
- No day-pass price found; appears membership/monthly-only based on available sources.
Regus Cuenca
- Type
- Traditional coworking
- Neighborhood
- Part of the global Regus chain; specific Cuenca location/address not confirmed in available sources
- Vibe and Amenities
- Standard international serviced-office chain feel — professional, corporate, with dedicated desks, hot desks, meeting rooms, and networking events, aimed more at established businesses than budget digital nomads.
Day pass
- Note
- A day pass is offered but no Cuenca-specific price was published; pricing pages reference Ecuador-wide chain rates rather than a Cuenca-specific figure.
Monthly Price
- Dedicated Desk Range Low
- $199
- Dedicated Desk Range High
- $299
- Note
- This range is Regus's general Ecuador pricing (Quito/Guayaquil/Cuenca combined) based on a 24-month contract, not a confirmed Cuenca-only short-term rate.
Coworking Pro
- Type
- Traditional coworking
- Neighborhood
- Edificio La Castellana, Av. Ordoñez Lasso, near the modern/upscale part of the city
- Vibe and Amenities
- A café-and-coworking hybrid described as a comfortable, well-lit working environment with usually fast Wi-Fi, easy access to public transport, and a walkable location.
Day pass
- Note
- No published pricing found for day pass or monthly membership.

Casa Rivera (Universidad De Cuenca)
- Day pass
- $0.00
- Type
- Traditional coworking
- Neighborhood
- University of Cuenca campus area
- Monthly Price
- $0.00
- Vibe and Amenities
- A free public coworking space in a building belonging to the University of Cuenca — a no-cost, no-frills option rather than a commercial coworking brand, useful for budget-focused remote workers.
Selina Cuenca (Hotel-based Coworking) — Now Largely Listed As Socialtel Cuenca
- Type
- Hotel-based coworking
- Neighborhood
- Barrio de San Sebastián, historic downtown center, about 5 blocks from Parque Calderón
- Vibe and Amenities
- A hotel-coworking hybrid — the coworking terrace sits at the back of the hotel overhanging the Tomebamba River, making it the quietest of Cuenca's main work spaces, away from street noise. Membership has historically included perks like free entry to hotel nightlife events, yoga classes, and discounts on workshops and hotel bookings, appealing to nomads who want a social, curated-events vibe. Note: multiple current booking platforms now list this property as 'Socialtel Cuenca' rather than 'Selina,' consistent with a broader brand rename — worth confirming current coworking terms on arrival.
Day pass
- Note
- No current published day-pass price found; historically included as part of hotel/coworking membership perks.
Monthly Price
- Note
- No current published monthly coworking price found. An older promotion referenced a $25 discount off the standard monthly membership when mentioning a specific staff referral, suggesting a base monthly fee exists but the current figure isn't published.
Membership Clubs and Co-living Hybrids
- Context Note
- No dedicated high-end private social/work membership club (Soho House-style) was found operating in Cuenca at the time of research. The city's remote-work scene is small and centers on coworking spaces and coliving-hybrids rather than exclusive social clubs.
Clubs and Hybrids
IMPAQTO Cuenca
- Type
- Co-living / co-working hybrid
- Neighborhood
- Riverside stretch of the historic center, alongside the Tomebamba River (Av. 12 de Abril area)
- Vibe and Amenities
- IMPAQTO is part of a startup-incubator coworking chain with locations across Ecuador. The Cuenca site sits right on the river with a panoramic green view, and combines a working coworking floor with an on-site pizza restaurant and craft beer bar, foosball, pool table, multiple terraces, a cafe, and regular workshops and themed community events. It's described as the most community- and networking-oriented of Cuenca's coworking options, with a mix of local and international entrepreneurs.
Pricing
- Dorm Bed Per Month
- $270
- Private Room Per Month
- $450
- Notes
- These are accommodation prices; coworking desk access is billed separately by hour-blocks (roughly $127–$197/month for 40hrs to unlimited use) rather than bundled automatically with the room.
coliving_hybrid
- Name
- Colonial Renovated Building coliving (listed via Coliving.com) — described as Cuenca's first coliving space
- Neighborhood
- Historic center ("the city's hearth"); exact address only shared after booking is confirmed
- Vibe and Amenities
- Marketed as a fully renovated colonial building aimed at international remote workers and entrepreneurs who want to live and work in one place. On-site amenities include a coworking space with private video-call rooms, an open kitchen, weekly cleaning service, a reading room, a cinema room, a pool table, and complimentary coffee.
Pricing
- Monthly Fee
- Not publicly disclosed — the listing states pricing but exact figures are only available directly through the platform/host, so no reliable number can be reported here.
- Notes
- The monthly fee is described as covering all basic utilities, internet, unlimited coworking access, kitchen access, and discounts on club activities like tours, yoga, boxing, and spa treatments. Minimum stay is 1 month.
Selina Cuenca
- Type
- Co-living / co-working hybrid
- Neighborhood
- Historic center, on a quiet terrace at the back of the hotel overlooking the Tomebamba River
- Vibe and Amenities
- A wood-panelled, small but comfortable coworking floor with armchairs and ergonomic chairs, a call booth, one meeting room, and a chill-out lounge. It's the quietest of Cuenca's coworking options since it sits away from street noise. Selina's membership perks reportedly include free entry to hotel nightlife events, yoga classes, and discounts on workshops and hotel bookings, which is what gives it a more 'social club' feel than a plain coworking desk.
Pricing
- Currency Local
- USD
- Monthly Membership
- Cuenca-specific monthly membership price was not confirmed in research (deals/discounts on the standard rate are sometimes offered locally); Selina's broader Latin America CoLiving program (accommodation + coworking bundled) is generally advertised starting in the roughly $325–$405/month range for a shared dorm bed, per Selina's own network-wide pricing pages rather than a Cuenca-specific figure.
