Posada San José

-

Schone maar gehorige kamer. Ook was er geen parkeerplaats. Zat wel in mijn verzoek

The hotel is in a great location and nice and quirky. However I thought our room was going to have a mountain room, but whilst clean and comfortable it felt more like a dungeon. Room 25, as we went to sleep there was fairly loud music outside and we had no view whatsoever. The room was dated and in need of a refurb. We ate in the restaurant and the view was great and staff great too. I’d stay again but request a different room.

We stayed for one night at Posada de San José while travelling through Spain and overall had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel is full of charm and character and feels perfectly suited to the historic surroundings of Cuenca. The location is excellent for exploring the old town, with restaurants, bars, viewpoints, and many of the main attractions all within easy walking distance. One of the highlights of our stay was having a room with a balcony overlooking the valley, bridge, and Parador, which gave the stay a really special atmosphere and fantastic views. The room itself was fairly basic but clean, comfortable, and perfectly adequate for a one-night stopover. The bedding was comfortable and the hotel overall felt relaxed and authentic rather than overly modern. There were a few signs of wear and tear in places which will likely need attention over time, but nothing that negatively affected our stay. Staff were friendly and welcoming throughout and check-in was simple and efficient. Like many historic hotels located in old town centres, access by car can feel a little tight and parking requires some planning, although this is part of staying somewhere with so much history and character rather than a criticism of the hotel itself. Overall, we felt the hotel offered very good value for money and was an excellent base for exploring Cuenca. We would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a more traditional and atmospheric experience rather than a modern chain hotel.

Huge room, fabulous bed and pillows. Staff is friendly and the old world style decor is lovely. The greatest surprise was the hotel restaurant. We had one of the best dinners that I’ve ever eaten in Europe over the past 40 years. Gourmet experiences with excellent ingredients, prepared perfectly and served graciously. I’d come back to this hotel just to eat dinner.
