"We stayed here for three nights in June 2026. This parador is on a hill overlooking the city so we are a captive audience for food but we have great views and easy parking. Check in was wonderfully helpful - Ada was fabulous and should be sent to Cuenca to train some of the front desk staff there how to actually engage with customers.
Our room was another huge space, overlooking the pool and terrace. We met up at the café in the Parador for a light dinner, consisting of beef tenderloin and chips, which was a lot fattier than I expected so I ended up leaving a lot of it. We did make up for that by having four desserts though. After our light (!) dinner we went onto the main terrace to look at the view over the city, a magnificent medieval time capsule, mostly enclosed by the river Tagus.
I slept until 6:30 and then got up to watch the sunrise. The hotel was totally deserted and even when I went back to the room at about 7:15 I hadn't seen anyone. I did watch lots of rabbits playing on the damp grass though. After another spectacular breakfast we took a taxi to the cathedral in the city. Taxi's were around 10 euro each way and far easier than trying to navigate the maze of streets and find somewhere to park.
Overall the Parador was wonderful, fantastic views, lovely rooms and good staff. It would be nice if the cafe had some more basic quick eats options but that's really my only criticism."
