Do not be put off by the name "Room Mate". This is an ancient merchant's house in traditional Spanish style, with an inner courtyard/patio and, in my case, the best suite I have ever stayed in.

First impressions as you try and find the place are puzzlement; even the taxi cannot take you there (the alleys are too narrow) - so you get dropped off at Plaza Nueva then wander with your luggage around little back alleys, looking for what you expect to be a grand entrance. Instead you find some small signs, an unpromising entry way up steps and then -- the courtyard opens up. It is not a huge courtyard and appears a little austere; but that is where you can sit and drink your complimentary sherry and eat your olives in the evening (as well as in the little internal bodega). The sound of running water from the fountain trough at one side reminds you that you are in Granada, strongly formed by the Moors in Spain...

I debated whether to go for an ordinary room or treat myself to a little luxury. I decided on the Alhambra Suite. This was absolutely unbelievable; vast, luxurious and utterly beautiful for about $250 a night. They say this is the finest suite of rooms in Granada, and I can believe it; ante-room/sitting room, huge bedroom/sitting room, separate clothes/dressing room, huge bathroom with jacuzzi, separate shower and loo. All are fitted out in exquisite Spanish taste, with the dark wood so typical of Spain offset by lighter, elegant, modern taste. From the windows, look up at night to the outlines of the illuminated Alhambra Palace...

Take a taxi to the Alhambra; but walk back down into town (straight line to Migueletes.)

Service was exemplary and very helpful (use them to make the booking for the Alhambra, where entrance is limited) and to find out about other events in Granada - even the best way of getting back to the motorway.

My personal rating is absolutely 5 star, and I shall be going back. I am almost afraid to tell the world this; I expect it will now be more difficult for me to book this again when I want it!!

We stayed here on our recent trip to Spain and it was amazing! It is a beautiful hotel and although the room we stayed in was a little small, it was very clean and the character made up for it! Perfect location, gorgeous views of La Alhambra and the breakfast each morning was wonderful. The front dest staff was very helpful in recommending restaurants and making reservations. Although you have to park away from the hotel, if you follow the instructions on the website, everything works out very smoothly and easily! We will definitely be staying here again when we return to Granada!

I booked this hotel based on the travel advisor reviews. What a disappointment. The rooms were dark and small. The staff was surly and not helpful. They wouldn't call us a cab to get to the garage or even give us directions to the airport. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived even though it was hours past check in time. The best part of our stay was talking with other guests. They also have a brochure of nearby restaurants which was helpful.

I found this property on Travel Advisor and it was the most charming and endearing of all the hotels in which we stayed during our recent vacation in Spain. The hotel is lovely; small, romantic, in a great location- yet slightly obscured by alley ways and winding side streets. We loved every aspect of this hotel. I will say that the hotel can be difficult to locate so ask the staff prior to your arrival for explicit directions and parking is off site if you should drive to Granada which we don't recommend. Driving in the city of Granada is most challenging and can be treacherous so leave the car behind and use public transportation or taxis or buses which are plentiful. The staff were friendly and so helpful; free Internet; excellent breakfast which is included; centrally located - close to Alhambra; the rooms are warm and inviting and all the comforts are available. Everything about it was just about perfect. We felt like Cervantes - comfortably situated while writing Don Quixote. Thank you Trip Advisor for this recommendation. I am never disappointed with your leads.
