This hotel is gorgeous. After falling in love with the Alhambra and the Alcazar, staying at this place made me feel like I had my own mini palace. The door to the main entrance is just super cool, and the key to your room is neat too. It is full of ambiance, cool calm, and makes you feel so relaxed when you enter.

The size of our room was comparable to other hotels we've stayed in Europe (i.e. too small for American taste). Architecturally, the room was very interesting, with a high, beamed ceiling, wide, heavy wooden windows, and tiled floor. The tiling in the bath was pretty, and had all the modern conveniences. It is, overall, a very romantic setting, if your idea of romance involves old wooden things, historical ambiance, and persian carpets.

Now for the criticisms. It is so expensive for what you get. Granted it is amazing, but gosh, 200+us a night can quickly render the travel budget. The bed was terrible. We were used to two twins pushed together by this point, but they were so hard - after walking and sightseeing all day, this was not what I needed. There was occasional-to-frequent unpleasant odor rising up from the shower drain. At night, there were freqent knocking sounds coming from the plumbing.

If the price were a bit lower, the issues with this place could easily be outweighed by its pure indulgent sensuality. There needs to be more balance in this respect that keeps this hotel from being highly recommended. If you don't care about how you spend your money, want something that is undoubtedly very special, and can overlook "the small stuff," then you won't be disappointed.

Wonderful relaxing atmosphere at Casa Morisca, especially in the courtyard as you enter the Hotel. Room was a good size & very clean. We had hoped for a view of the Alhambra, but we did get an outward facing room. If you want a view of the palace then you need to request one of the superior rooms. Staff on reception really helpful & friendly. The only real downside was the breakfast - which at 12 Euro was a tad expensive given what was on offer - also there was no hint of service as we just went in & helped ourselves & nobody appeared to offer any assistance. Only a minor niggle really - best just to eat in town.

We probably would have loved this Hotel in the Summer but sadly, in the Winter this is not very comfortable.

The main problem is that the rooms are very cold and we ended up buying hotwater bottles just to keep warm.

The rooms are heated by fan heaters which simply do not keep the hotel warm.

There were groups of shivering tourists in all the public spaces.

Staff let us down by not giving us the room promised. We didn't feel that they treated us honestly in that. Left a bad feeling.

There were renovations going on out the back (not the hotel) which also made the room uncomfortable.

Food was hard to find near the hotel as although there are plenty of bars they get very full/cramped.

7/7 found this review helpful

We wanted a charming hotel with a little bit of history and that's exactly what Casa Morisca offered. We had two rooms, one on the main floor with a window on the street and another on the second floor with a window to the courtyard/lobby. It was very peaceful, decorated traditionally yet with a modern touch and the location was perfect. It was breath taking to walk out the door and see the Alhambra. The front desk was very helpful and booked our flamenco show, which was just a few minute walk away. The breakfast is worth the extra cost and it was one of the best breakfasts we had on our trip with eggs, cheese, pastries, cereals, fresh fruit, coffee, tea and freshly squeezed orange juice!
I recommend this hotel and would stay there again!

5/6 found this review helpful

The Hotel Casa Morisca is quite an experience, located right below the Alhambra, with some quite exquisite views of it from the rooms. While most things were done well, some things could have been better.

GREAT THINGS:
-Views... if the Alhambra does it for you, seeing it at first light, sunset, rain hail or shine from your hotel room will be an unforgettable experience
-Location: While it's a 10-min walk from the centre of the new part of Granada, the tiny cobblestone streets and the river rushing alongside are very pleasant. There are some great Moroccan restaurants nearby - don't be afraid to try these out, we found the experience incredible!

GOOD THINGS:
-Quality furnishings in rooms
-Reasonably helpful staff, it helps if your Spanish is okay

AVERAGE THINGS:
-Rooms are on the smaller side of things
-Breakfast, while plentiful, is uninspiring and expensive for what it is. No hot breakfast options.

Overall, the Hotel Casa Morisca is a great place to stay if you have fallen in love with the Alhambra and look forward to having your breath taken away every time you open your hotel room's windows. But remember that that's what your here for.

  • Liked — Views of the Alhambra
  • Disliked — Disappointing breakfast, no nearby alternatives
  • Tips/Secrets: — Book your visit to the Alhambra in advance through the hotel.
