“Mixed feelings. Excellent location 10/10. We had a room with stunning view over the valley. Friendly staff. But everything feels a bit cheap, worn out and neglected. They probably have no maintenance staff to keep the hotel 100% but only repair the really broken stuff. If the rooms etc. where 100% they could ask twice the price.”

“Had a nice few days here, food is adequate as we're the rooms ,we had a nice view over the cuenca valley. The walk around the old town is strenuous but very interesting, very photographic. We didn't enjoy the tram ride! Would be better one way drop off to see the town, then catch it later to return. Driver seemed bored!”
