호텔 리오노 드 아키타나

오래되었지만 좋은 호텔

El hotel valorado es Convento de Giraldo, ya que nos llamaron que nos trasladaban de hotel por una avería en el hotel Leonor de Aquitania. En el hotel Convento de Giraldo, todo muy bien, limpio, trato perfecto, ubicación céntrica,

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.

This was a lovely hotel in a great location with stunning views of Cuenca. It was also very reasonable. The hotel is within walking distance of a number of good restaurants and cafés. The hotel itself had a lot of character with a mix of exposed stone walls and modern bathrooms. The rooms were tidy and the AC worked very well even in the middle of a very hot summer.

We loved our stay here! We chose a premium room with views. We could see across The Valley from our room and over to the Parador hotel. The room itself was well appointed and comfortable- with radiators (essential for cold December) and aircon. The bathroom was spacious and had a really nice jacuzzi bath as well as a shower. We were in room 1. I suspect if you could choose the room 2 would be the best one as it seemed to have multiple windows. I would highly recommend the breakfast. Lots of choice (pasties, bacon, eggs, cheese, ham, wide selection of fruit) and great coffee. The bar was nice too, we had a snack there but did not try and downstairs restaurant. Downstairs is also where the spa is located. We booked a hour slot at reception and enjoyed the facilities to ourselves. The hot hub was really nice and there are saunas there too and well as some basic gym equipment. The staff are fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. Parking was over the road in a public carpark where hotel residents get a small discount. It is well located for exploring the old town. Highly recommended!

Muy buena relación calidad precio. Empezamos con una ensalada con perlas de mozzarela, anchoas, tomate, ….. que traía una cantidad muy considerable para compartir dos personas y continuamos yo con unos parpadelle con rabo de toro estofado y mi mujer unos ravioli con queso y pera que ambos estaban muy buenos y generosa cantidad que no nos dejó espacio para el postre. El servicio impecable y nos invitaron a los chupitos.
