“What struck me about this hotel is its prime position in Cuenca's best-rated area, a real advantage for exploring the city's cultural heart. I appreciate that they offer complimentary drinks upon arrival, a detail that speaks to personalized service. Though parking has its quirks, the central location and smoke-free environment are definite wins.”
