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.

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.

Estancia de 10
Hemos pasado un fin de semana muy agradable en la posada San José. Es tranquila, el personal amable y atento y en general es un sitio al que volveremos si tenemos la suerte de poder ir a Cuenca de nuevo.
Las vistas desde la habitación, un lujo. Es perfecto.

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.

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.

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.
