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!

My brother and I traveled to Granada in late December 2006. The hotel was charming and perfectly located. The staff was really helpful and their English was very good. They were able to book restaurants and tickets to Flamenco for us. We really enjoyed the continental breakfast, although it costs extra. It was a 5 minute walk to Plaza Nueva and an easy walk into the Albayzin neighborhood. Very nice!

This hotel was a real find. The location was central and everywhere including the Alhambra was walking distance. The hotel staff were friendly and unexpectedly put a bottle of chilled Cava in my room and a note as it was my birthday! It was straight forward to book tickets in advance for Flamenco and the Alhambra and the staff all spoke English. The rooms were beautifully and authentically restored, if a little on the small side. Didn't try the breakfast (as so many other options around), but did have the afternoon tea and biscuits!

I concur with what the person from CT said below: " It's just what I love -- a small establishment that is right in the best site and reflects that site well." the guide book noted that this was the cheapest of the boutique hotels in this area but it shouldn't discourage travellers from a wonderful experience. again I concur. the room is small but the heating was very welcome. free internet (with your own computer) is a plus. the staff is very nice but their english isn't the best, however, I didn't need to ask them too much. very centrally located. easy to walk everywhere in the city you'd think of going. I will agree with that it's probably not for older travellers as there's no elevator. I would however say that if walking and climbing is a concern, you might want to bypass granada as the whole place is up and down and often very steep and you definitely don't want to use a car either. it's a very youth oriented city so I could imagine it not being the friendliest to older travellers. I would recommend staying up near the alhambra for them.

The stay at this hotel was our first 2 nigths of our Spain Travel. Those 2 days to Granada was very nice!

The hotel ambiance is nice. Very historic. The tea/coffee hours at each afternoon is a nice touch.

Also the location of the hotel is very good. We walked all around the city from this point. Just a 3-5 minutes walk from Plaza Nueva. The hotel also reserved our ticket for alhambra. Very practical!

The hotel also suggest to reserve at one good restaurant of the area one night for us (Cunini - seafood restaurant). But failed to comlete the reservation.... And the restaurant was finally full for the night. We leave the day after and was not able to eat at this restaurant and was very sad of this situation.... (We planned this dinner before to leave Canada for all the goods comments we got from website).

Staff is friendly

We was able to enter in our room earlier then the check-in time. But the bathroom floor was not so clean....

the matress could seems hard... but we sleeped very well at this hotel finally!

This hotel is just beside our hotel. We visited it and find lovely.... but also very expensive ; Casa de los Migueletes

The Casa del Capitel Nazari is a nice value!!, we recommand it.

  • Liked — the historic of the hotel, the ambiance, the charm
  • Disliked — the reservation not completed like promise for restaurant/ the dirty floor in our bathroom
  • Tips/Secrets: — tea/coffee time (from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.)
