The hotel is perfectly located for a visit to the Alhambra. However, please be aware that there is non-existant restaurants in the area. Therefore visitors will need to travel down to Granada City Centre.

There is good public transport to the City Centre five minutes from the hotel. Overall experience of the hotel is good.

Stayed here for two nights as part of a large tour group.
We were allocated a room in the annex which is 30m up the hill from the main hotel. The annex is unstaffed and there are steps up to the entrance door, older people will struggle with luggage, there was no help from any hotel staff.
Once inside, our room was small and dark....rooms in the main hotel are (we were told) much better....however, bathroom was large and bright. Double bed was small, anyone over 6ft tall would find their feet dangling off the end!
Dinner was quite ordinary, but buffet style breakfast was better.
Hotel bar was very busy at times, and the lone barman did struggle with lots of orders.
The main attraction of this hotel is it's proximity to the Alhambra....just over 100m away. There are frequent mini-buses into town. The open top bus tour leaves from just outside the hotel, but it is easily the poorest one I have ever been on....avoid!

We stayed at this hotel for five nights. The staff were most helpful. The hotel was clean and the room was small but acceptable. So why was our experience terrible? 1) Every day we got an awful sewerage smell in the room which appeared to be becoming from directly outside our window. 2) The plumbing mad an awful noise that could be heard throughout the hotel so why nothing was done abou it I cannot imagine. Every time we or the people in the room next to ours or above ours or below ours used their toilet it made a noise that could not fail to raise the dead. 3) The sound insulation between rooms is pathetic. We could here every word being spoken in the room next door (either side) and presumably they could here us.

Bottom line I would never recommend this hotel to anyone who wanted a decent nights sleep.

I can only think that the last reviewer was staying in a different hotel. This is the worst experience I have had with a hotel in the entire six week trip and indeed prior to this trip.

If the hotel management wants to contact me about this review I am happy to accomodate them.

PS the rooms have no coffee/tea making facility or facilities for ironing clothes and the laundry service is expensive.

After leaving Valencia bright and early,( thanks to a nightmare Pension disaster),, we arrived early noon in Granada and took the bypass to go direct to the Alhambra.

We went into the Parking area for the Castle and parked as close to entrance as possible .Very quiet, so no problem.On walking down to get info on Castle , we could see 2 / 3 hotels above us on hillside. After getting info we progressed up steps from Park to check hotels.

We liked the look of the Guadalupe so went inside. Very neat and tidy and a small restaurant facing front. A very good Receptionist gave us their room choices ,( rates vary as to sizes of room, positioning etc.). We liked the sound of a room on 4th floor which transpired to be Room 412 and liked immediately. Its big Window faces out onto walls of Castle and right down hill towards Granada itself. It also has a big veranda off bedroom.Very happy as, as a bonus, it has english language news channels .Room was cleaned and tidied spotlessly on returning from town for our 2nd night and indeed on our stay we found cleanliness of Hotel in general to be very high.

Bed was a Queen , big bathroom with tub , both very tidy!, 21" tv ,great views -delighted. We stayed for 2 nights as by time you see Castle grounds etc you need the time to relax. No tea tray but we always bring our own , so be prepared.

Breakfast was a Buffet affair at Eur9.00 + VAT per head for Hot , and to be honest I have had a lot better. Spanish sausages,bacon ,tomatoes ,eggs , boiled eggs were hot offerings and buffet selection was not very enticing. Dining room is big and airy with big windows looking down into street and Castle Parking area.
It suited us as we were tired both mornings to eat here ,but if we do again we would probably not eat there again. Just uninspired and a bit expensive for what you get. We had a Room order meal on 1st night from Restaurant that also was quite poor, so food is not its best asset.

Overall , we would love to see the Alhambra again and have a longer stay to see Granada and area better.We did walk down the path from Hotel to the Town and up the hills to the Church (forget name) ,with the views acosss to Castle and Mountains after seeing Castle ,and it was all well worth the effort. A lot more to see and we intend to return even if just for the magical Alhambra itself.

We paid Eur99 per night for B&B in total ,which apart from Breakfast, we felt was well worth its central position. . You can get cheaper rooms but this was well worth it .To sit on veranda and catch sunrise at 8 am and sunset at about 6 pm was well worth it.We intend to return to see more of Castle, Granada and area and would have no problems staying in the 'Guadalupe' as our base.
