March 6-11 2008. I booked this hotel via links from your website through HotelPronto and we stayed 4 nights over a weekend. The cost was £180 to include an excellent buffet breakfast. The room was exceptionally clean, if a little dated, and comfortable. The hotel had a very cosmopolitan guest list, German, Japanese, French, English, Irish and other languages which we couldn't distinguish. We parked in the Alhambra car park at a discounted rate of 13 euros daily. We toured the magnificent Alhambra with a guide at a cost of 40 euros each. The weather was sunny around 20c and occasionally windy with cold nights. The Sierra Nevada ski slopes were fairly busy but he snow was being made artificially because of the warm days. An unexpected highlight was the Argentinian Tango competition in the Main Square close to the Cathedral. The trip was enhanced by the bright sunny days as walking up and down to the hotel in the wet could have been a real problem.

  • Liked — The close proximity to the Alhambra and ease of access from the auto via.
  • Disliked — The room was a little on the small side.

We stayed 29 Jan 2008, for one night.
Car park was full and we were able to park in alhambra palace car park for 13 euros for 24hrs, which was a cheaper rate as staying at hotel.
The reception area was large and there was a small patio seating in front of hotel.
The room had 2 beds and TV. Modern clean bathroom.
Clean and comfortable.
We had buffet dinner reasonable price 14 euros and variety of choses. Little choice of restuarnats near the hotel, advantage of staying here would be to go to Alhambra palace as only 2-5minute walk to ticket office.
Easy to find the hotel, as just follow alhambra palace signs.

My wife and I stayed two nights in this hotel and found it very suitable especially seeing as like everyone else we were there to see the attraction just down the street.

Hordes of people flowed through in bus loads but we still found a quiet time to sit out on the terrace. The pool was great on what were hot days.

The room was okay in a package deal kind of way.

We enjoyed eating in small places in town and preferred to walk rather than use the mini-bus. An alternative route into town rather than head down the street past the Alhambra is to cut across in front of the entrance and walk down around the Alhambra heading for the old Jewish quarter (I think).

Very happy with Alixares Hotel. Location magic for Alhambra being 150 metres away. Parking in basement at extra cost if space available. Check in staff excellent. Breakfast most adequate. 2 lovely Dinners in Dining room but note that we elected A la Carte at little extra cost & bypassed the Buffet which we think was a smart move. 200 metres to bus downtown at 1 Euro per trip compensated for distance from city only 15 mins away.If driving, highly recommended.

We were sent here after mixing up other reservations, and it was a wonder we got any room in Granada that weekend. Apparently, All Saints' Day weekend is very big for going to the Alhambra.
The room was beautiful, great view overlooking the pool and mountains. Pretty quiet, considering we were right next to the elevator.
The staff were able to get us tickets in a guided tour of the Alhambra, which sells out almost every morning. The hotel is within close walking distance to the Alhambra, and you can get teh bus into town there for just 1 euro. Taxi to the main bus station costs around 7 euros & well worth it when you have luggage!
For two days, bus after bus of tour groups came in. Reception/Concierge was flooded all the time. However, the staff always took time to answer your questions, help you with anything, and never stopped smiling. They never cracked under pressure. MAJOR bonus points for that. Really outstanding on that front.
The internet worked in the lobby, but not in my room. The breakfast was decent, but not spectacular. It would be nice if they sold stamps at the front desk, like many 4 star hotels.
