Cuenca Hotels with Gym

Breakfast did not eat! A little distance from the scenic spot! It is very convenient to drive by car. It is necessary to go a little earlier. Sometimes it will be no place at night. There is no charge for parking! There is a bus to the cliff house at the door

Cuenca is a city built like Ronda on the mountain, famous for its hanging houses and suspension bridges. The hotel is opposite the hanging houses. The current King and Queen of Spain have been here for their honeymoon. This is a hotel converted from a monastery. It is old and elegant, clean and convenient. Go out and face the mountain. Come out at different times of the day and you will see the different colors of the mountain. It takes less than ten minutes to walk to the old town opposite.

I stayed here for two nights in the sole Suite room they have, right up at the top. It is accessed from the third floor, with a staircase inside the bedroom to take you up to the floor above where everything is located (so it is not accessible for those with reduced mobility). The room was quite old fashioned but very large, and really nothing else matters once you take in the view from the private terrace. There’s a variety of chairs and loungers out there, so if you’re visiting in warmer weather than I was then it would be a fantastic place to sunbathe in absolute privacy (it’s literally the only terrace up there, with no-one overlooking it). The gorge is directly in front, with the old town continuing to snake further up the hill to the left, as well as down to the right towards the newer urban sprawl on the plain below. The Parador and its footbridge are all the way down below on the floor of the gorge. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, and the Raff San Pedro restaurant in the basement is one of the best in town. This is not a hotel for those who cannot manage hills, but then again Cuenca generally probably isn’t the place to go if you’re in that condition! Lovely, peaceful, relaxing stay. Very glad I followed the recommendation in the Rough Guide and chose this hotel.

It was a trip for a couple to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The NH hotel is very well located, as it is close to the city centre and the best thing is that on the street where it is located there are parking areas without having to pay for it. In my case, I left it in front of the entrance to the hotel. The service is good, the normal thing for a 4 star hotel. We ate outside because we left in the morning and came back late, anyway it was cheaper to eat out. The city, although not very big, has its charm, mainly the historic centre where we cannot miss seeing the Parador (former convent), with the San Pablo bridge that gives access to the ”Hanging Houses” and the rest of the old town, highlighting the Cathedral and the Mirador. You should also not miss seeing the Enchanted City with the rocks in the shape of animals and other objects.
