“Perfect location, good hotel, maybe a little expensive for its category”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at the Leonor de Aquitania for 2 nights during the December bridging day and following week-end, so we paid around 100€ per night for a double room with breakfast, which is a bit expensive for a 3 stars hotel.
The people working at the reception were very friendly and helpful, definitely a plus, the hotel is just a couple of hundred meters awaw from the Plaza Mayor, and at the same distance you will find the ancient city door, outside of which you can find free parking, we found this very practical.
The hotel and rooms are cosy, our double room was big and clean, nothing to complain about, except the shower in our room which probably needed some fix as the water was coming out in random directions, but it's a minor problem. Ah, and the old-fashioned style beds which might crack when you move in them unless they're properly pushed against the wall (at least that's how we solved the problem).
We decided to have breakfast there as we were offered it for 6€ per day/person, moreover there aren't many bars close by, and the buffet breakfast there was nice, so I'd recommend you book it. There's a nice breakfast room which was never crowded although the hotel was almost fully booked, no waiting times to use the toaster or whatever, nice variety of breads, ham, sausage, cheese, jams etc, plus they had platters of fresh fruits, yogurts, cereals, croissants and a few warm things as sausages and tortilla. The only minus point there was the waiter, when I asked him whether they had soy milk on Day 1, he looked at me weirdly and said "no, only NORMAL milk here!"...oooook...sorry if I'm lactose intolerant! A "no, sorry" would have been fine, but well, many people are just not used to options for dietary allergies/intolerances, especially in small towns.
I would definitely recommend the hotel, and I guess the rather high price for Spain was due to the date, you will probably be able to save a lot if you go on a normal week-end.

“Noisy hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011 via mobile

people found this review helpful

We slept here one night. The hotel is good situated in the middle of the old city. Parking garage opposite of the hotel. It cost 15 euro a day. The welcome at the reception was cold and very helpfull. Next day another receptionist who was much better. The room was very smal with two twin beds. Walls are very thin. We had neighbours listening flamenco misic at two in the morning with the tv on full. Also the use of the toliet was loud and clear even the more intimate details.next time another hotel in Cuenca for us. The town was beautiful

“Atmospheric and friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

Really friendly staff, excellent location near the top of the old town. Old building, full of character. Vending machine in the lobby was handy! Ample parking nearby.

Cons: the internet access advertised on their website is only wi-fi - if you haven't brought your own computer, you're out of luck.

“A VERY GOOD three-star hotel in a GREAT location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Despite its attractions and appeal, Cuenca's hotels often fall short of the mark. The scenery may be fantastic but the food, at least in the old town, tends to be a disappointment - more expensive than it ought to be and not nearly as good. For someone like me, who likes to eat well on holiday, I often feel let down.

The Leonor de Aquitania is a far better bet than most. Rooms are interesting and comfortable, staff are efficient and very welcoming, the location is excellent, and the food in the vaulted dining-room is creditable, whatever the meal. I will certainly return and recommend it as a solid and good-value choice for art-buffs coming to see collections of work by some of Spain's most interesting twentieth-century artists - Cuenca's USP.

“Lovely hotel with a super view”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2011

We arrived without booking and, although quite expensive, this was cheaper than some of the hotels in the old town. The staff at reception were very helpful and our small room overlooked the gorge and the parador. We didn`t realise that we had chosen a Saint`s day and most restaurants were closed that evening so, reluctantly, we ate in the hotel. We chose from the set menu but the main course had run out so we were offered an alternative - a type of pork stew which was dire. My husband will eat anything but this fatty mess was beyond him.We ordered a replacement which was edible but quite forgettable.After this, we could not face breakfast which was extra anyway.
