Hotel Cueva del Fraile

Cosy hotel in beautiful surroundings. Spacious room and good breakfast buffet. We also ate at the restaurant in the evening. The food was standard and there was no variety of drinks but the food tasted good and the atmosphere was great. Big swimming pool, although there was little space to lie around the pool.

We stayed here for one night as somewhere to break up the journey from Madrid to Xabia and it was a wonderful experience and somewhere we would have loved to have spent longer. We arrived around 2 o’clock and checked in and our room was ready. It was a great room for a family of four over looking the central court yard. We had a great lunch in the restaurant by the pool and dinner in the courtyard and both meals were excellent and reasonable priced. The whole hotel had a wonderful atmosphere and very family friendly. I don’t hear anyone else who was English staying as was very popular with Spanish guests and staff were very accommodating with my very little Spanish. The pool area was beautiful and we spent a lovely afternoon enjoying it. We all slept well in our air conditioned room and had a lovely breakfast in the morning before continuing our journey. Would highly recommend and we will be back ourselves.

Cancelled my booking the evening before we were due to check in. ******* sent an email. After a really long hard day of travel, to find out when we arrived at the hotel it was closed. Thats when I read the email. Really hard to read emails when riding a motorcycle across France & Spain. But hey, there are other hotels and websites

This hotel was a little gem of a find on an unexpected road trip from southern to northern Spain (due to UK Air Traffic Control issues). Online reviews looked good and the location was perfect in respect of the area around which we planned to make our first overnight stop. On arrival we were greeted by two very friendly and welcoming reception staff, one of whom showed us two rooms which were available to accommodate our family of four. The hotel is beautiful, blending the old building with modern twists and furnishings. The sizeable outdoor pool set in its own garden was the perfect way to cool off after a very long drive. The inner courtyard is stunning and made for a perfect setting for our pre-dinner drinks. We dined in the very atmospheric and beautifully appointed restaurant where many main dishes are cooked on coals at the side of the main seating area. The smell of the charcoal and cooking was fantastic and the food was superb and very tasty. A very good wine list gave us a great choice. Having just driven through the wine region of La Mancha, it was an easy decision to opt for a very nice bottle of Finca Antigua Reserva (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah blend) which accompanied our meat beautifully. The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The rooms were perfectly adequate and air-conditioned. The hotel is quiet and tranquil yet has a wonderful understated buzz about it. Breakfast the following morning was offered for a small additional cost and was adequate if a little limited but it was perfect to get us ready for another long day ahead. The town of Cuenca itself is gorgeous so this hotel is perfect for anyone transiting the area or perhaps visiting Cuenca itself. We would not hesitate to return.

Some rooms lack air conditioning so please check in advance

We spent one night here and was very impressed with our spacious and tastefully decorated refurbished roon. The restaurant was great and reasonably priced. What's not to like for the price they are asking
