What guests think

Parador de Cuenca impresses with its historic monastery setting, striking views of the Casas Colgadas, and an easy walk across the bridge to the old town, with many guests praising spacious rooms and generally friendly, helpful staff.

Breakfast and on-site dining are often well reviewed, though several mention high prices and occasional slow service. Access and parking can be confusing or costly, and periods of nearby construction have added difficulty for some. A few report inconsistent shower temperature, limited views in some rooms, or noise near the front. Expect a memorable, scenic stay with a few practical trade-offs.

The location though beautiful is a challenge to reach. Hotel should offer a shuttle service from the train as there were no taxis available. Breakfast was excellent with choice of omelettes and eggs. There are peculiar rules like not being able to sit in the courtyard on a ‘dinner’ table at 10pm which is empty to have a drink if the drinks tables next to it are not empty. There were six empty dinner tables and yet we were refused a drink until someone left the undressed table. Requests to staff were responded to somewhat reluctantly at some points though it may be that they were overwhelmed. Don’t miss the pool; it’s gorgeous, but freezing. The views are spectacular and the hotel itself is very attractive with generous-sized rooms.

The property was gorgeous and very convenient to Cuenca. The only problem was parking! Be aware there is a garage as soon as you begin the uphill drive on your left. There is no way to turn around a large car

Great hotel in a magical setting. Construction work outside the hotel made entering and exiting a bit chaotic. Hotel personnel were fantastic. Rooms were nice and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Worth the effort getting to especially driving in downtown Cuenca (you have to experience it to understand this comment).

The room was large and comfortable, with a spacious bathroom and bedroom/living area. We were lucky enough to find free parking in front of the parador, otherwise it was €25 per night (2pm checkin to 12pm checkout) in the garage. The meal options at the parador were quite expensive and not overly appealing to us. We enjoyed breakfast in the parador one morning but felt that while the range and quality of food in the buffet and à la carte menu were good, it still felt overpriced at €22pp and we decided not to eat there again. We very much enjoyed the location of the parador, being directly across the walking bridge from the old town and facing directly toward the famous casa colgadas was really nice. The staff were friendly and the building was incredibly clean and well maintained. We would be very happy to stay again in the future.

Great place. History, views, good restaurant. Don’t be fooled by the pony-tailed guy operating outside the hotel trying to get you to park on the street: he’s not an employee and expects you to give him money. You can park in front of the hotel or drop your bags and get directions to use the hotel garage from the nice people in reception.

insgesamt aufgrund Lage absolut empfehlenswert. Hatten superior Zimmer Richtung Steg - waren sehr happy damit. Parkplatz in Garage mit Euro 25 definitiv zu teuer und Abriss - Sorry Management bitte Preis überdenken. Gibt Aussenparkplätze first serve. Sieht halt nicht schön aus überall die Autos aber bei den Preisen....Hinweis wir haben in anderen Hotels inkl. Stadt viel weniger bezahlt...

The hotel is very nice and at a great location. The room was clean and spacious, nice bathroom and dressing area. The breakfast was Ok, no decaf machine and the service to get hot dishes was slow. The buffet area was good. In general is a nice place with good access to the city. The only negative thing was that the water in the shower would go from hot to cold and vice versa, didn't matter what time you shower, it was the same.

This is a fantastic building in a wonderful location. Good staff, attentive and cheerful.The only negative was noise - people talking below in the middle of the night and a bus parked outside our window with Japanese tourists. The bus started up soon after 8am and remained stationary for at least 20 minutes while 50-odd Japanese trundled their flight cases to the bus. Lesson: Don't take a room at the front of the building, particularly above parking for buses.

We were the first guests in our rooms following a major remodel but the area surrounding the hotel still had construction tarps up which blocked us from seeing the hotel entrance. It's a tiring walk to amenities. Arrival was very confusing, we couldnt control the a/c which was cold in one room but hot in 2 others. We appreciated being given complementary water, the only parador that did, given the tap water tasted badly. We do not like the parador policy of making us reserve for breakfast. Not relaxing at all. The food however was exceptional.

Great property with old world characteristics. In the heart of the historic city. Food is excellent in both the bar and restaurant on the property. Getting around the historic city is just a short walk away. Requires crossing a bridge across the gorge to get to the remainder of the historic city, not for those who are afraid of heights.
