Pensión y restaurante San Julián — Restaurant in Cuenca

This small hotel is a budget recommendation in the 8th edition of Lonely Planet's "Spain" guidebook. I paid 25 euros per night.||This is an older property with no elevator. The rooms were large, and there is wifi .The property is within walking distance (a fairly vigorous uphill climb) of the hanging houses and the old city. This is a family owned business with a popular restaurant on the first floor and hotel property on the floors above. Everyone was very nice.||For the quality of the accommodation, I thought the price was high. However, Cuenca is a small and popular tourist city with few hotels. As such, hotel prices are generally high. Most hotels in Cuenca cost at least 50 euros per night. This is about the cheapest you are going to find with private bathroom. I looked at the Spanish website quehoteles.com and saw one advertised hotel for 31 euros. Everything else cost considerably more.||Travel tip: If you are are tourist, don't come to Cuenca on a Monday (as I did). Nearly all the museums and many of the...

There's not so much to say about Posada de San Julian, it is what it is: fair value for little money. You'll find San Julian right on the border of the old and new town. To reach the old city center, it's a 15 minutes walk, pretty uphill (with stairs). The owner is friendly and helpful, I don't have the impression he speaks a lot of English (didn't ask or try). Rooms feel quite old and dated, but they are clean and ours was rather big. Some of them have private bathrooms, others don't and you'll have to use the shared bathrooms on the hallway. Keep in mind that rooms beside the shared bathrooms can suffer from the noise (the water pipes felt quite "present"). So, if your primary goal is a decent nononsense bed for not too much money, and you don't mind the walk, Posada de San Julian is a good option.
