Hotel location is probably the best for visiting Cuenca old town. At just 100 meters from Plaza Mayor ( Main Square) where you have the Cathedral, the Town Hall and some tapas bars. The hotel inside is modern and comfortable. The rooms are decorated with style mixing modern with traditional decoration. Ask for a room with a view to the... More

Never stayed in a convent before. Room was ample for european standards. I'm sure the nuns did not have it this good. The bathroom was AAA, all the amenities. The walls were a bit thin but earplugs helped. The mountain view was stunning, especially at night. No parking so be prepared to park in public lot at 19 euros a... More

I was a bit dubious about staying in a convent, but was pleasantly surprised. The bedroom was huge with a 4 poster bed and modern bathroom. Hotel is well located in the old town amongst other beautiful buildings.

This hotel looks good, but it is unconfortable. Also, I had a duplicated charge on my card on check out (two charges on different dates with different value which made the claiming difficult). Key aspects: -Upper rooms are nice but very hot. The air conditioning does not work, they set it very low to save money. -Bed was unconfortable -You... More

One of the best options to visit Cuenca. Very cosy and confortable hotel. Rooms are ok with confortable beds. However sound isolation to other rooms needs to be improved, breakfast is of good quality. All staf is firendly and ready to help.

Reception staff made no effort to offer any service, smiles or the simple gestures that are key to a satisfying hotel experience. Arriving to check in the receptionist was too busy chatting to cleaning staff to give us any attention and insisted on keeping our passports until it suited her to take copies. Passports were then passed to us later... More

The hotel is located about 1 minute from the Plaza Mayor in the old city which is perfect for exploring the area. The bus stops almost right in front of the hotel which is very convenient. The staff were very helpful. Big comfortable bed. The room (and bathroom) were much larger than anticipated and clean as well. Breakfast in the... More

Extraordinary service from the front desk staff. They were especially helpful in helping us secure a tourist guide who seemed to be in short supply during our stay. Great location in the center of most sites. Big rooms, very well equiped. Public parking nearby, a bit expensive, but in a nice remodeled old building.

Right in the centre of the old town. Two minutes from the Plaza Mayor. Fabulous room, large four poster bed, very tasteful renovation of an old convent. Good buffet breakfast, on-site restaurant was also nice and good value. Front desk staff could have been friendlier. Walking distance to all the sights and contemparary art museums in Cuenca.
