Charming, nice views

Charming older hotel in the steep streets of old town Cuenca. Beautiful views and nice proprietors. Breakfast was only “so so”. Good restaurant next door for lunch and a good restaurant up a steep hill for breakfast.

Really nice small hotel located in Cuenca's historic center just steps from the Cathedral. Great view of the mountains, the Parador and the canyon below. Enjoyed the room with old wooden beams and rustic look. The tasty onsite breakfast for a fee was a bonus since there aren't that many options nearby in winter.

Convenient location in a beautiful, old building with so much character. My room was clean, comfortable, spacious and provided great views. The breakfast was good and good value. The staff was very friendly, even schedule a taxi for me to get back to train station. Would certainly stay here again if ever in this charming town

We absolutely loved staying at the Hotel Posada San Jose. The views of Cuenca from our room and from the dining room were priceless and so beautiful! The staff was warm and welcoming and very helpful. You step outside of the hotel and you are within walking distance of all of the lovely sites of the historic center of Cuenca. I loved the "old way" of leaving your big room key at the front desk.

This hotel is right on top of everything that a history buff would want to see in Cuenca. We looked out our window and we were on the hanging houses. The walkability is amazing. The staff are excellent.

A great and historical hostel

A hostel with lots of ancient charm and a fantastic view. We got a great deal (799kr). The breakfast was very good for 10 euros. The only negatives were the lack of water in the morning due to a problem that day, and the very small TV.

Outstanding views

Lovely old business. Helpful staff. Our room had a terrace with the most amazing views of the gorge. Lots of walking options and trails. Lot of bars and restaurants in the old town. It is steep so good exercise for the legs! Alternatively there is a bus and a tourist train from the cathedral square. Will def return.

Great views

If you want amazing views this is the place to stay. We had a small balcony overlooking the gorge. Downside is there is no air con & it was very hot. They provided us with a fan when we requested one. We had dinner on both nights we stayed & the food is excellent. We had reserved a table for our first night when we booked this hotel so we had the best table on the terrace. Amazing views. If you want a terrace table reserve as the terrace is quite small. They gave us the same table the following evening. We had breakfast on the first morning which was not very good. No meat/cheese vegetable laid out. A girl eventually brought out some plates of cling film covered ham & cheese. Some hard boiled eggs that looked like they had been in the fridge for a few days. There were some pastries & fruit. We were the only people at breakfast
