Exe Cuenca
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Exe Cuenca is worth booking if you want a well-reviewed four-star hotel with a good breakfast at below the city median price and do not mind getting to the old town by car, taxi or public transport. If you want to step out of the door into historic Cuenca, it is the wrong choice.

This is our Best Value pick for Cuenca. It suits road-trippers, families and travellers on a budget who value a quiet night and a solid breakfast. The property lists a gym, family rooms, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Skip it if you want to walk to the historic centre. Guests describe a quiet area near a mall but far from the old town, and the location score of 7.6 is the weakest point of this hotel.
Location and getting around
The address is Avenida Juan Carlos I, s/n. Both Cuenca Cathedral and the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español are about 2.6 km away, roughly 33 minutes on foot. That is far, and the old town sits uphill, so plan on public transport or a taxi for most trips.
These walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified. Parking is not covered in the data, so if you are driving, ask the hotel what is available and what it costs.
What guests say
The score is 8.6 out of 10 from 3,021 reviews, joint second of 6 eligible properties in the sample.
Guests like the breakfast, a varied buffet with fresh juice and gluten-free options, and the staff, described as friendly, helpful and attentive. The main complaint is location: the area is quiet and close to a mall, but far from the historic centre.
Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed, so check recent reviews.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in Cuenca. The Best Value slot weighs guest score, number of reviews and reference price, so it is not always the cheapest hotel. An 8.6 from over 3,000 reviews at 12% under the median gave Exe Cuenca the slot, despite its distance from the old town.
Before you book
Work out how you will reach the old town and what a taxi costs. Ask about parking if you drive. Check whether breakfast is in your rate, and confirm the cancellation terms.
