I stayed here in Jan. 08 and had a great experience. Smartly decorated rooms, clean and just the right amount of furniture..I thought the room was just the perfect size. There was a lovely fountain in the courtyard below my bedroom window that added a nice touch to the ambience. This is the kind of place you should stay if you like a smaller, European style hotel with a lot of local ambience. Friendly staff too. Great price....I highly recommend and would definitely stay here on my next visit to Granada.

The hotel is very nicely located near the Albayzin and Alhambra and city transportation. The hotel is in a lovely old building that has been renovated as part of a general effort to maintain the historic character of the Albayzin. There is a nice central patio and a very nice breakfast is served. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful in making arrangements and giving advice. The room itself was nice and comfortable with a decent bathroom. Our only complaint was that the A/C didn't work. Luckily we didn't need it. They were very responsive in trying to fix it but were only able to do so the day we checked out. Also, the walls are thin and you can hear a lot of noise in adjoining rooms. There was also a slight musty smell in the room. We think it was from the deodorant they used when cleaning the bathroom. Also has no elevator. We had to lug our luggage up the stairs. This was not a problem for us since we travel light but could be a problem for travelers who don't.

The Hotel del Capital Nazari was lovely - beautiful, clean, characteristic, very conveniently located (easy walking distance to both the Albaicin as well as city center) and friendly. The receptionists always greeted us with a smile and went out of their way to answer our questions about transport and places to see (other than the Alhambra).
Our double room cost a total of EUR 82/night off-peak, which we thought was excellent value.
Breakfast would have cost an extra EUR 8 each, but we didn't opt for it.
The hotel is small and cosy, and arguably more suitable if you are travelling on your own or with a platonic friend. It didn't seem like the best hotel for a romantic trip. If this is what you are looking for, ask for a more private room away from the courtyard.

After reading some reviews here I wonder if we stayed at the same hotel.

We travelled to Granada from Seville. Our hotel there was modern and to be honest almost out of character to the area it was located. This hotel lived up to how I expected an old Andalucian (former) palace to be.

Yes, it was quirky. Yes, you have to walk up a very small alley to the hotel enterence but once inside that huge old door, it felt like we had be transported back a good few hundred years.

We loved the old courtyard around which most of the rooms are located on three different levels. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating and tried hard to help us with our many questions about the area.

We loved our room. It was not large but again, it's style and uniqueness reflected the age of the hotel. It was spotlessly clean, had TV and minibar and the bathroom was a good size with underfloor heating. We had no problems with the bed as some folks have commented on. It was European firm, just what we are used to.

Breakfast was pretty substantial with lots of choices and coffee/tea were on hand all day, into the evening at no extra cost.

Would I go back to the Casa del Capitel Nazari? You bet I would.

Folks have to remember that this place reflects the city itself. Old, charming, unique and as I've already said, quirky. Just the kind of place I prefer against modern monstrosities too often found to be intruding into many of the Moorish cities.
