If you stay at this hotel make sure you do not stay on the 6th floor. On the 7th floor there is a restaurant and you hear the constant moving of chairs and tables. This is a great hotel other than that. Perfectly located but you do need to walk a bit to the free parking. With all this said I recommend this hotel anyway

Hotel is ideally situated for the old town if people have walking difficulties the bus is nearby for the old town every 15 mins. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay lots to see and do and eaten is some fantastic restaurants. The hotel was mediocre but a large room and clean, no view only brick walls and other rooms. Reception staff helpful and parking in car park very nearby which had an agreement with the hotel. I would class this as a 2star hotel.,

The hotel was well located for access to the town and within walking distance of the old town and Plaza Mayor. The receptionist was extremely helpful on check in. The room had a bar fridge which is always a bonus in hot climates and the room was comfortable although had no views (a brick wall!) which made it appear dark. Unfortunately we were there on a Sunday (and a festival day) and no restaurants in town, or the hotel restaurant opened until 10pm.

We stayed in an apartment room. Very comfortable and roomy. I would stay here again. There was a taxi area right outside the hotel. There were not always taxi's there however. When you arrive arrange for a taxi ahead of time to take you back to the train.

Checked in, went out, and on our return after dinner we found that the wi-fi and A/C did not work. No one at the front desk. On the second attempt we were finally able to hunt someone down but by then it was midnight and it seemed unlikely anything could be done about the A/C at that hour. We did get a new wi-fi code, which did not work. Spent a hot and mostly sleepless night, and were unable to plot our driving for the next day. Upon checkout in the AM we brought these matters up, and the woman on duty immediately became hostile and defensive, essentially calling us liars in the matter of there being no one at the desk the night before, and suggesting that we did not know how to operate a thermostat.

Within walking distance to old town which is up a very steep hill. There is a bus service up thought. The hotel is cleen. My room was a bit dated, but had all the amenities expected. Extra cost charged for a safe. No public space other than at the top floor restaurant. Just about average and ok for the price.

Nice little room but no real window - just opened on an air shaft. On the other hand the price was right.

Our room overlooked a park,and was quiet and comfortable. We ate at the 7th floor restaurant both nights, lovely views,and very reasonable 'menu del dia' even at night.
The hotel had cafes nearby ,where we had breakfast. It was a fair distance from the cathedral,Plaza Major,etc. but driving and parking there was no problem.

The hotel gave easy access to the sights of Cuenca and was very comfortable. It has a rooftop restaurant with great views of the old town and surrounding hills. Staff were very helpful and most spoke English.

Good sized rooms at a decent price which are well located close to the main shopping area and 10 minutes walk from the hanging houses. Only downside was the building next door was very loud and kept waking us up at night, there were a bunch of people yelling until 4am. Not really the hotels fault maybe we just picked a night when there was a party next door.

Its about 10-15 minutes walk from the train station and 10 minutes walk from the base of the hills which is where tourists will want to visit. There are lots of hostels closer, but if you want a bit more comfort and a decent shower, then this is a good hotel. Its clean, nothing too fancy , nothing uncomfortable either, and has a good WIFI connection. Just to note it is close ( 5 mins ) to a few latin clubs such as Siteo, Rodeo etc, which were nice places to have beer and listen to latin music. I would stay there again.

This hotel is conveniently located near the train station and cab stand. Just generally a good location. I only wish that more of the front desk staff spoke English, as it was listed under the amenities sections on their website. I staff was friendly and helpful overall.

Great location and very good value. Parking was a liitle difficult but we parked for free on the street as we were leaving before 9am the following morning.

Hotel is located at city center, not in the old town. So do not need to climb with the luggage. The restaurant has a nice view, especially in the night. The price is more nice thant the hotel in old town.
