A stunningly beautiful old town, and a charming old house with an irresistible view over the gorge and the bridge crossing it. Absolutely worth visiting and staying there. Good breakfast

“Excellent trip wish we had booked another night to be able see beautiful Cuenta”
We booked a Mountain View room and it was well worth the little extra they charge for that. Great views. Large room and the hotel had a central location.

“Beautiful hotel in a stunning location, convenient parking and local bars and food nearby.”
Just the experience of visiting Cuenca is amazing, this central hotel in the old town on the hill is perfect for a short stay in this stunning location. Staff were lovely, rooms were great with stunning views and a few nice bars and restaurants very nearby. Parking was a very short walk away and the Cathedral was almost next door. Highly recommend the location and the hotel.

“The historical hotel in Cuenca”
The inn has a historic feel. The front desk is staffed by an old gentleman who is not very good at English. The room is two floors below the front desk. The view is of the backyard and the valley, and I can see "Puente de San Pabio". The room is spacious and has two beds and what looks like an extra bed. It's hot outside, but the room is cool.

Both rooms had an amazing view, one with a lovely terrace to sit out and enjoy the view. Short walk to the Plaza Mayor and the bridge across the gorge. Nice buffet breakfast in the morning.

Great location, staff and facilities. Wonderful views overlooking ravine, from small private balcony. Separate sitting area in room. Garden bar, good breakfast. Convenient, discounted car park just up the road. Worth exploring old and new town. Loads of stairs keep you fit.
