Cuenca is a beautiful place, although not as 'polished' and 'spruced-up' as some more touristy destinations. The Cathedral audio, self-guided tour is very good.. The Parador is an old convent...wonderful building next to the gorge which makes Cuenca famous...Go for a room on 2nd floor...( we stayed in 204 and had an excellent view of the Hanging Houses (Casas Colgadas)... more

We booked our stay in the Paradore having seen the reviews on TripAdvisor. On our 2 week road trip round Spain, Cuenca was one of the places we said we must visit. Upon arrival, the town's setting just blows you away. We drove out of town to the paradore which is set on a hill next to the town, with... more

Cuenca is well worth a visit and couldn't think of a better place to stay than this Parador. Managed to secure a good rate via the Parador internet specials and good value at 110 euros a night. Hotel staff friendly and helpful and good breakfast. Asked for a room overlooking the gorge when booking and had a room on 2nd... more

Having stayed in other Paradors, had hoped that this one would match or better them. However our particular room (no.222) was on the small side but did have a nice view over the valley towards the highest point of the old city. The smallness of the room was demonstrated by the fact that the bathroom door could not be opened... more

Just got back from a trip to Cuenca and I must say that this is THE place to stay if you want to feel a bit of history. The rooms are really big, with big beds and a huge bathroom. We paid extra to have a view over the Hanging Houses and really this wasn't worth it as you have... more

We only stayed at Parador de Cuenca one night and wished we would have stayed longer. The property is very interesting and the view of the gorge and hanging houses was spectacular. We had read to ask for a room on the 2nd floor on the gorge side and are so glad we did. Our room 206 was just as... more

An absolutely gorgeous hotel overlooking the city of Cuenca. We stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed every last minute of it. A walking bridge connects the hotel to the rest of the city. If you don't like heights, you can always walk down the street and then walk back up the hill to downtown (IIRC it takes about 35... more

We booked the Historic Cities tour direct with Paradors, which gives a very good rate compared with the nightly price. This hotel is in a stunning location, and has magnificent public areas. The room was large and very well appointed, the window was a bit small but then it was a convent previously. I think you can pay a bit... more
