my wife, once more seduced by karen brown, booked the america for two nights. karen likes the term "charming" and that is what it was, if you mean neat, clean, decorated with loving care, as was our room. maybe cosy is the best word.
you stay inside the walls of the alhambra which sounds great but that means also that you are at night in the middle of nothing, and to fetch the tickets for the alhambra palaces means going down to the parking place, quite a walk.
not so charming was the sitting area, some crammed seats just opposite the reception desk, and the quality of the building itself. the walls are so thin you can hear every cough, every flush of the toilet, every word of your neighbours, and all calls from the reception desk. be prepared to use your earplugs, or you will be awake all night. the mattress was covered with a layer of plastic, that made you sweat, and the sheets weren´t of the best quality.
if you want the alhambra experience, give the parador or the alhambra palace a thought. these two are also better choices for dining and breakfast, at a reasonable price, whereas the breakfast in hotel america is overpriced, regarding choice and quality.

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.
