What a charming restored mansion this was with a great central location (right next to Plaza Nueva) and across the Alhambra (though you have to walk a few steps up the tiny street to get a view of the Alhambra).
We stayed in the best room in this hotel, room number 22 which promised "views to the alhambra" - but in reality you could only see a small portion of the Alhambra's Alcazaba (so I just ignored the promise the hotel made about this room or else I would have been too disappointed).
The room was perfect, quiet and very comfy and so was the bathroom. It was on the third and last floor and climbing the stairs all the way up with luggage was sort of challenging but it didn't matter too much and I wasn't expecting a lift in a 16th century restored mansion. By the way, this was a typical Moorish style mansion with a central patio and rooms around it on all 4 sides (see pictures).
If you walk straight up the street (not really straight, rather straight up the hill) you will reach San Nicolas viewpoint - which is a must see if you like to look at Alhambra from across the hill. We went there at sunrise and sunset - both were breathtaking - though you will not see any crowd at sunrise and if you are a photographer like myself - you can take some outstanding pictures at sunrise and sunset of the Grand Alhambra.
I'd recommend this hotel and stay there again - though I wouldn't mind paying 15 euros less for a room without Alhambra views ;)
Cheers!
