Fantastic hotel but be aware of the bridge you need to cross to reach the town
Pros:

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.

Cons:

The bridge!

Pros:

かつての修道院を改装したパラドール独特の建物の雰囲気と歴史感が素晴らしく、泊まること自体が観光になるような特別感がありました。建物は古いながらも室内は清潔に保たれており、気持ちよく過ごせました。レストランの食事もクオリティが高く、スペインらしい料理を落ち着いた空間で楽しめました。

Cons:

パラドールの性質上仕方ない面もありますが、一部の設備は古さを感じる部分がありました。

Ein herrliches Erlebnis am Rande einer traumhaften Stadt.
Pros:

Die Lage ist einfach phänomenal. Nicht nur das - auch die gesamte Ausgestaltung des Paradors. Es hat ja eine bewegte Geschichte, doch aktuell hat man sich übertroffen.

Cons:

Es ist schade, dass ihr den Poolbereich erst ab dem 15.06. eröffnen könnt. Das sollte doch den Hotels selbst überlassen sein wann die Gäste auch damit verwöhnt werden.

Beautiful renovated monastery-parador across from the picturesque village of Cuenca
Pros:

Old monastery renovated with charm, facing the old town of Cuenca.
Good rooms with comfort, great common space with charm (cloister, refectory).
Dinner menu is diverse and food was delicious.

Cons:

The bed was 2 adjacent beds ( not a queen or king) even though we asked for a double bed.
The TV has only Spanish channels in Spanish ( no English).
Parking is very limited.
