Stopped by en route from Madrid to Seville by train in the middle of nowhere to this must see World Heritage Site. The hotel is overlooking the park in the centre of the new town with amazing view of the old town. Sixth floor room actually a marble suite just for the two of us, absolutely brilliant and great value.... More

The hotel reception is small and we expected the same from our room but it was quite spacious very clean and had an amazing view (we were on the 6th floor ... and there are lifts!) over the tops of the trees in the square and towards the old town. It is in the newer bit of town and you... More

We stayed here for 2 nights both of which we're very comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and spoke English. The hotel is in an ok location in the new town but all the attractions are in the old town about a 15 min walk up hill. A good hotel and a lovely town but definitely only a... More

The Hotel Alfonso VIII in Cuenca is located in the new town, just across the river from the old town. We were there for Semana Santa, and found the location ideal. Most of the processions started in old town and passed within a block of the hotel when they came through the new town. The hotel has 6 floors served... More

Very handy for visiting the historic town centre. Nice rooms (a little on the noisy side - we were under the kitchen I think) that appear to have recently been decorated. Lovely restaurant with great views (and pretty good food too).

The hotel is in the downtown 3 minutes from the historic centre. It is difficult to park in front of the hotel, but the is a public parking 200m from the hotel. It is an excellent election for a weekend (one night is enough). The triple room has a main room (king bed) and a smaller one (single bed). Both... More

The hotel is overall very nice. The facade of the building is not very welcoming. Reception is also very small, but the room we got was actually quite large (for European standards). Comfortable, nicely decorated, good clean bathroom. I could not ask for anything better considering the price of the room. Breakfast was nice, but they do close on the... More

We went to Cuenca for a last minute weekend get away from Madrid. Got a double room for about 55 euros which was excellent value. The hotel was situated in the main town of Cuenca (not the historic city) but this actually worked better for us as we were driving down from Madrid which meant that it was easier to... More

We needed a hotel in Cuenca for a single-night stay. Trip Advisor suggested the Alfonso VIII would suit, and so it did. Within easy reach of old Cuenca on foot, with a green park opposite the hotel and within a few yards of one of the main commercial streets, it is ideally and agreeably situated for a tourist. The accommodation... More
