We have stayed at many 5* hotels around the world and this is our favorite hotel! After the taxi dropped us off at the end of a very narrow street, we walked a couple blocks with luggage to the hotel. From the outside, it looks like a plain building on a narrow alley, but when you enter you are in a different world. It's difficult to describe the lobby with open-ceiling terraces, tiled stairways and luxury lounge with an available free computer. We were given our key (attached to a brass apple) and told to keep it at reception when we were out and then we were shown to our room (#17), which had a little window that gave a view of the Alhambra. The room was well-furnished, spacious and had a terrific bath. The charm of this hotel is what makes it soooooooo special. In addition, the location is perfect. We had hoped to stay closer to the Alhambra, but it's far better to be down in the old city center. Finally, I should mention that the staff was just perfect - they really seemed to know and be proud that their hotel was picture perfect. Stay here!
