Good room, great location, staff attitude variable
The Parador at Cuenca is a converted monastery separated from the medieval city by a 100m long iron bridge over the gorge. This was a shock to me, and I mean a real shock as I absolutely hate heights. We parked outside the Parador (25 euros a night) and checked in then went to our rooms, large and spacious. The building itself was fabulous with original wooden ceilings, stonework and frescoes.
Our room overlooked the gorge which was quite a spectacular site. Breakfast at the Parador was fabulous, I say 'breakfast' as a throw away word but this was a veritable feast and we were there for over an hour before another walk outside to view the town from this side of the ravine. I did feel vindicated when I read the information board that said the bridge, built in 1903, was only intended as a temporary measure before something more permanent was made. So this 'temporary' bridge has been in use for 123 years and is probably about to suffer imminent collapse!
Check in at the Parador was very pleasant although in the evening we rang reception twice to request a taxi with no answer. There is actually a pool there too although it is across the road with no sign to say it is there or belongs to the Parador. Although the building and breakfast were superb, I think when I return to the city I will stay the other side of the gorge to avoid the bridge.

Thank you for your honest and positive review; we’re delighted that you enjoyed your stay.
We’re sorry that we’re unable to answer all the phone calls we receive.
The pool area is signposted as a sports area, as it’s next to the tennis court; perhaps this is why you didn’t spot it.
Thank you very much, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Great stay in a magical place
Cuenca is a magical place. The Parador is beautiful and the facilities excellent. The reception staff could be better. We were in the town in the evening and needed advice on getting a taxi back. Two people from our group rang reception, but the phone was not answered. We used ChatGPT to get a taxi back to the hotel and when I spoke to the 2 male reception staff, they literally just shrugged ♀️
This is my second visit and only found out on the second day that there was a swimming pool the other side of the road. No signs advertising that at all.
A very nice hotel though and nice housekeeping staff

The Parador is exquisite!
We chanced upon the Parador by searching Trip Advisor. We were searching for a spot between Barcelona and Madrid after walking a Camino, and landed on Cuenca and the Parador. It was a perfect
combination! This Parador is an historic monetary, beautifully restored into a fabulous hotel. (That’s what Paradors are famous for in Spain.). The room was amazing, the location was out of this world, and we were treated to a music festival featuring Carlos Núñez and Celtic Beethoven.
Walk the bridge to Cuenca and step into another world!

Sona was so warm and welcoming. Our dinner at this restaurant at the hotel was one of the most magical experiences for me and my daughter. Sona also took the time and care to strategize and organize our transportation to the train station to get to our next location.
