“A Hotel with lots of potential but which missed the mark on most counts”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2010

After a spectacular drive to the hotel we were looking forward to somethig special.From the outside the hotel looks very nice however we were rather disappointed. We were greeted at reception by a rather offhand man who obviously wanted to be doing something else. We found our room which was Ok apart from the hole in the bathroom wall . A walk around the gardens should have been beautiful but again disappointed with piles of dirty plastic chairs and a general air of neglect. The staff in the bar were surly to the point of rudeness and their idea of clearing tables was to sweep the rubbish on to the floor. Dinner did not start at 8-30 as advertised and when we asked when it would start we were told to wait and then plunged into darkness and left to find our way out of the room. The only redeeming feature was breakfast which was very good

“so-so”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2007

Nice outdoor patio, room basic but pleasant, location a short drive from old city. Found room/hotel a little musty, which is a problem for me.

  • Liked — outdoor areas - pool was closed but looked nice
  • Disliked — mustiness

Cueva Del Fraile is located on the Buenache Rd outside Cuenca after the most spectacular drive. It is a suberb location and building which could, with a bit more thought about the lighting and other guest facilities could be absolutely magnificent!

It is great value for money and the staff are friendly and helpful but you will need at least some Spanish as no English is spoken.

Ideal for exploring the incredible city of Cuenca with it's hanging houses, spectacular gorge, paradors, cathedral, plaza major and tourist 'train'!

Interestingly, although we didn't hear one word of English spoken in the hotel or the town during our 48 hour weekend stay, I was able to buy a Sunday Telegraph in the tiny Tabac off the main square.
