I could not be happier with the choice to stay here and book a room with a terrace. The room was spacious, clean and interesting--not a stale hotel room. But the terrace was the absolute highlight. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant in the hotel are not to be missed. The whole place feels like a fairytale and it is wonderful to be dropped in the middle of everything, with some of the best views in the city and delicious platos típicos right at your fingertips. Keep in mind, if accessibility is an issue, the whole city is stairs and the posada has plenty inside. That made the place more magical to me but should be noted if that is a concern for you.

I had to work during my stay and the wifi was not consistently strong, especially in different areas of the room. For basic use it was sufficient but for heavy use like my job requires with video calls, opening large files and other business processes, you will probably need to supplement with a hotspot.

This is a lovely historic hotel with lots of original features and loads of character in what is a beautiful town set between two gorges. The room we had had a balcony at the rear of the property and it gave us a stunning view over the Huecar Gorge. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and buffet breakfast looked good although we only opted for coffee and toast (4 Euros each). The dining room is beautiful and has the same view and some outdoor seating too. We had dinner in the restaurant one evening and it too was excellent and reasonably priced as well. There is no parking at the hotel but there is a free car park at the top of the hill near the Castillo (10 mins walk). We would love to stay here again and highly recommend it. There is lots to see in the area too.

There were no tea/coffee making facilities or a fridge in the room but there is a bar and restaurant so I guess that's what they are thinking about.

This place was an amazing find. We booked 2 Superior rooms and had spectacular views of the hanginging houses over the gorge. Our teenagers had a huge room with 2 sofas so they were happy and we had a room with two balconies and spent a lot of time hanging out there. The Posada is just up from the main square so we walked everywhere. This hotel had a lot of stairs and quirkey challenges (our room was slanted), so for travelers looking for a polished hotel should stay elsewhere, but for us we were happy with the uniqueness of this one of a kind boutique Posada de San Jose.

We loved everything.

The views over the gorge are incredible, and the hotel has a very authentic, historic feel (the building is an old school from the 1600s I believe). This is what you're paying for. Outside of that the room is very basic

Facilities are dated - a simple kettle in the room, or coffee making facility in the lobby, really wouldn't be hard to add. Complete lack of vegan choices on the menu meant we couldn't dine. Small changes could really level this place up!

Everything ... loved it x .....after asking for foffetevt room ..see comments below.

Only 1 issue ..but it might have Neen my error ..I booked the big room with bath but it didn't have a balcony ....fortunately we were able to be moved into 'smaller room' with settee and 2 chairs ..but 2 balconies with different outlooks and a bath for 2 ..didn't know you could get such a thing !!

Just the experience of visiting Cuenca is amazing, this central hotel in the old town on the hill is perfect for a short stay in this stunning location. Staff were lovely, rooms were great with stunning views and a few nice bars and restaurants very nearby. Parking was a very short walk away and the Cathedral was almost next door. Highly recommend the location and the hotel.

This hotel is in a beautiful location with excellent views. I could have sat for hours on our terrace drinking coffee, but the restaurant views were equally gorgeous. Our room was comfortable and spacious with what I assume was a prayer nook with a window. The only downside was that the showerhead wouldn’t stay upright in the bathroom. But everything else, from staff to facilities, was fantastic.

This is a fabulous historical house dating from the 1600s. It was built for Juan Bautista Martinez de Mazo, student of Velazquez and later his son in law. (and possibly, artist of some Velazquez paintings?) It is perched on the edge of the River Júcar gorge. Our balcony has a magnificent view of the gorge, the parador of Cuenca & Gustaf Eiffel’s steel bridge (not for the faint-hearted!). It is centrally located, close to the Plaza Mayor, Cathedral, Casas Colgadas, museums etc. It is a very welcoming place. The rooms are comfortable & wonderfully evocative of the history of the house. The buffet breakfast was generous and located in a room with stunning views of the gorge. If you had no other reason for going to Cuenca, this house alone is worth the visit.

Fantastic location right in the heart of the old town. Spacious room. Beautiful historic building. Fabulous views. Great food. Friendly and helpful reception staff.

Would have been nice to have facility in room to make own tea and coffee. Maybe mini bar in room or available in public area. Also, staff in restaurant could have given a warmer welcome at times.

The view from the bedroom was spectacular, especially at night when buildings were lit up. The property was very interesting in itself and well located for seeing everything in the town. Reception staff were friendly and helpful as were the cleaning staff.

The rooms being old (and we did ask for the mountain views) were a bit small so, as we were travelling with friends, somewhere to sit together in the evening would have been good. Thre was one area but this was obviously seen more as a passage to the restaurant and so there were not many seats.
