Top Cuenca Hotel Reviews

Parador de Cuenca

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent position overlooking the bridge to access the old town. Swimming pool area a little tired but nevertheless was a very useful amenity. It was clean but just needed updating. Very spacious inside the hotel as expected and quite cool to escape the heat. Only a 5 minute walk in to the old town and a great view across the gorge. Also at night with the gorge lit up makes it quite special."
