The hotel is located on Ramón y Cajal in the center of the new town. I was able to reach the cathedral area of the old town, the main tourist destination in maybe 20 minutes. The second half of the walk is a pretty steep uphill climb via steps and inclined roads. I highly recommend the 5€ walking tour of old Cuenca. I did the dusk one as it was getting dark and all the building illuminations were coming on. The hotel room was basic, but clean and functional. Good powerful shower, plenty of hot water. The room was interior with no noise whatsoever. Lighting was on the dim side, but the strong working wifi made up for it. Room cost was 25€. Parking is iffy. I snagged a spot on the street directly behind the hotel. It looks like everything is "zona azul" with the ticket from the street machines costing €0.80 per hour, maximum 2 hours permitted. Since I arrived late, the fee lasted until 11:00 the next morning. I decided to move in the morning and park in a garage near the old town before I did my touring. Good thing I did, as it took me 3 hours and I would have been ticketed. Garage fee is about €0.03 a minute (€5.75 for the 3 hours I was there).

“Very good value in the centre of Cuenca with secure parking”

This is officially a hostal, not a hotel. The hotel we were heading for was closed and there was no on-street parking. So went in search of somewhere to stay while my husband guarded the car.

This is officially a hostal, not a hotel. The hotel we were heading for was closed and there was no on-street parking. So went in search of somewhere to stay while my husband guarded the car. Was a bit dubious of a hostal, but the girl on reception was very helpful and offered a room at a very reasonable price plus parking for eight euros a day. Only Spanish spoken. So take a phrase book if you don´t speak Spanish. Bus stop nearby that goes to the old town, which must not be missed. The accomodation was excellent value for money. Basic continental breakfast available at a very reasonable price.

“Good Location but bedrooms old fashioned”

Hotel is old and bedrooms really need updating, underground car park which is a bit tight if you have a large or high vehicle charged at 8 euros per night.

Hotel is old and bedrooms really need updating, underground car park which is a bit tight if you have a large or high vehicle charged at 8 euros per night. Bedroom and Bathroom were dark and old fashioned but clean. You can get to the old town either by taking a 30 minute stroll or catching the number 10 bus. Bus Stop located on the next street to the hotel. Good selection of bars and restaurants nearby - probably would not stay again as car parking too tight and bedrooms not great but we only paid 32 euros a night so what do you expect.

“Do not stay at this hotel during fiestas”

We spend two nights in this hostel. O.k. old-fashioned but adequate and cheap. Nice staff, clean rooms and very good wifi. Unfortunately we stayed durning fiesta and was very noisy on the corridors at night! Old Town is 10-minute walk away.
