We stayed here for two nights and got an outward facing double. The room was clean however the beds were two twin beds pushed together without the strap in the middle. All of our other hotels in Spain had the strap in the middle to make it seem like a king size bed. No free ammenities like free breakfast, free minibar or free computer access w/ internet, again unlike our other hotels in Spain. I believe they had free Wi-Fi but we didn't bring a laptop.

The place did have lots of characters like a riad in Morocco though less lavish, and it was a few yards away from Paseo de los Tristes with great views of the Alhambra. However, when the temperature rises the walk from Casa Morisca to Plaza Nueva is a little annoying. A narrow one-way street at times just enough space for one car and one person (literally). Though you can take the bus from Plaza Nueva to a stop just outside Casa Morisca, the buses sometimes wait up to 10 min before leaving Plaza Nueva. A few touristy restaurants nearby, but most places are around Plaza Nueva.

Basically you get a room in a very nicely restored Albaicin mansion, but not much else. For what they charge, seems a bit overpriced compared to the four other places we stayed at throughout Spain.

This hotel has a lovely courtyard and is in a nice part of Granada, but let's be practical--what a traveler needs is a comfortable bed, a bathroom that works, and for most, a feeling that you're getting your money's worth. Our bed squeaked whenever we moved, the sink leaked, and the front desk personnel were sometimes helpful and sometimes not. The breakfast was expensive at 9 Euros and there is nowhere close by that is opened for breakfast before l0 a.m. I made a local phone call and was charged 1.5 Euros.

The friendly efficient staff made booking our stay and reserving our Alhambra tour tickets very easy. We arrived by car which was a great adventure navigating the narrow, busy one way streets. As we did in most cities in Spain, we got lost once or twice but the friendly people of Granada helped us find our way. The hotel is very nice and clean. The Moorish interior was great. Read the book in the lobby describing the hotel's renovation. We stayed in room 10 with a view of the Alhambra and the city wall. The room was very nice, quiet and relaxing. The staff had great advice for eating, shopping and sights to see. We really liked being in the old part of town. The hotel is some distance from the Plaza Nueva where there is a lot to do. Most days the walk back to the hotel was fun and interesting but if you are tired, go ahead and take the bus or a cab. The tour of the Alhambra was very interesting, a great referral by the hotel. The bus service around Granada is very good with busses running very frequently. We dined at the La Piccola Italia and it was great. In addition to giving us directions to the restaurant, the staff advised us on the best place to buy ice cream as well as the best cafe for hot chocolate y churros! Very nice!

This was our first stop as part of a 10 day trip around the Almeria area of Spain. We arrived by train and took a taxi to the hotel which allowed us to take in the city sights as we made our way there. The taxi takes you up a narrow stretch of road before reaching the hotel. From the taxi you get to see the Alhambra Palace on the top of the hill and the river before arriving at a side street where the hotel is situated.

First impressions were good. The exterior of the hotel with its solid wooden gate like door with a second door in the middle of it certainly gives you a historical perspective of what is to come. Once through the door you are greeted with a rihad like interior with its small pool of water in the centre and plants around the edges. This really gives a sense of how old the building is.

The receptionist that we were greeted by was very friendly and her english was very good. We stayed in two different rooms whilst we were there including no.15 with its views of the Alhambra. Both rooms were very comfortable, clean with all the amenities you need, including free wi-fi. No.15 has bath robes but this room does cost a little extra.

The location of the hotel is also good for getting about town. The Alhambra is a short but steep walk in one direction whilst all other amenties (bars, restaurants etc) are a short walk in the other. Breakfast was optional here and to be honest it isn't anything special. Better to get out in the town and find a nice little cafe for something to eat.

Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel. Nothing seemed to be any trouble to the reception staff. The girl who dealt with us knew of good restaurants, short cuts to places and was helpful with anything regarding the rooms.
