The ultimate irony - one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever been in, with some of the best linen, yet so much shouting and screaming on the street below, from midnight to 6.15am, that I slept scarcely a wink. It's an OK hotel, but only that. I expected a nice period building, but my room was in a new wing that had limited storage, samey trendy decoration and too many knobs and dials to get familiar with (it took ages to figure out the rainforest shower and shower hose in the wet room, though the toiletries are of a very high standard). The leather, studded table and uncomforable chair were hopeless for business, and it took us 10 minutes to get reception to send a barman to the small bar, astonishing in an alleged five-star property. As for the restaurant, well, don't expect to leave it feeling full. Our main course was pork and scallions. Only pork and scallions. No supplementary vegetables, potatoes, rice or pasta were offered. Overall, an experience that should have been unique was simply sterile and depressingly familiar, and the noise was the final straw. I certainly don't recommend paying the rates advertised if you're going to be awoken several times a night by inconsiderate yobs in the street and don't understand why the local police cannot do something about such anti-social behaviour in a residential district

This hotel is in a renovated old villa. It's a beautiful old building with modern furnishings. The rooms are very nice, roomy bathrooms. Breakfast was also quite good. When we checked into our room it smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. They had no non-smoking rooms available, so that was a minus for our stay. Also, people were allowed to smoke at breakfast. The furnishings are nice - obviously a designer needed to do something special. I think the furnishings could be made to fit with the villa a little more, but that's just a matter of taste. The staff were all very nice and helpful, and there is a large parking lot under the hotel. It's walking distance to the shopping district and it's also not too far to walk to the Albaicin.

Without a doubt this is the best hotel in Granada. It offers incredible oasis like privacy in the midst of a very vibrant city. The staff treated us like royalty. We enjoyed the Arabic style ceilings in the lobby and the courtyard was nice change of pace from the bustling city. The Hotel Manager gave me an historic explanation of this palace that was almost destroyed but thankfully was saved by Hospes Hotel Chain. Their investment in renovations is noteworthy. While we were here we must have seen at least 30 or 40 other hotels, none of which appeared from the street to offer the same type of privacy and seclusion....I recommend this hotel highly.

Booked directly with hotel website got it c.€100 cheaper
