Hostal Posada San Martin Cuenca is a guesthouse on Calle Alfonso VIII, inside the old town and about 150 m from the Plaza Mayor. Rooms have a private bathroom. It is a good fit if you want to stay up in the old town, close to the monuments, and explore it on foot.
Location and getting around
Being in the old town itself, you avoid the climb from the lower town. The Plaza Mayor and the cathedral are about a 5-minute walk away, and so are the Hanging Houses (Casas Colgadas) and the San Pablo bridge.
If you go down to Calle Carretería, about 10 minutes away, remember the way back is uphill. The bus station is about a 25-minute walk and Cuenca Fernando Zóbel high-speed rail station almost 6 km away: for those journeys, a taxi is better.
