I did not really like the city of Granada, so I was glad to stay at this hotel away from the city up at the fabulous Alhambra.

I can't rave enough about the location, it was awesome. If you wanted to go into the city there was a very cheap bus which was fast (5 min) and arrived at regular intervals. Service stopped at about 11pm though.

We just parked at Alhambra, and walked 10 min to Hotel. Older or lazy visitors probably should drive directly to hotel to drop off bags - it may be hard to find - you have to drive in, then take right fork up hill, through hole in wall, then continue up hill.

If you give hotel receipt to parking office you get slight discount on parking.

Positives
- excellent location
- rooms clean
- air-con (although was switched off between aprox 10am and 2pm)
- good bus service to city

Negatives
- none

PS- remember to book tickets for Alhambra in advance, you can do it on their website. Otherwise you have to get up at 7am!

My husband and I stayed here two nights. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were tiny. This is not a luxury hotel.
The walls of our room were stone and the "closet" was a few shelves in a niche with a curtain over it. The windows opened out over the patio restaurant below which was kind of neat. If you want convenience to the Alhambra, it would be tolerable for a couple of nights. The whole place also has that ancient sewer smell you find all over Spain.

Excellent choice if you are looking for a peaceful and charming hotel. I was lucky to get the room 110 with a balcony and a wonderful jasmin. Owners were very nice and friendly and I really want to come back.
It's very well located, right in the hearth of La Alhambra, and in a minute you can get to the Plaza of Algibes, Nazari Palaces and Alcazaba.

Having booked a room in the hotel last year august by telephone with the hotel's receptionist, we arrived at the hotel one evening and found that our booking had been entered on the wrong day (i.e. before that we had agreed upon). The owner insisted that we had to pay the night which we didn't stay there, before he would let us stay the night that we actually arrived. It was not possible to come halfway between both sides.
A rather nasty experience.

We stayed one night at this hotel. The Room was clean and the hotel was quiet. The staff is, as noted in other posts, not the best.

At this hotel, you are in the middle of the Alhambra, but you are far from town. Walking into town isn't hard (it's down hill) and you can take a bus for 85e.

The restaurant at the Parador is the only one nearby. It's pretty good.

If staying one night and wanting maximum time at the Alhambra, this is an OK choice. The Parador would be the best choice, however.
