We stayed at hotel Real de Alhambra for 3 nights and it was really perfect stay! We were prepaired for an ordinary 4 star hotel, european style: small rooms, tiny bathroom, some little TV set etc.
But were literally amazed by what we saw.
The hotel is just huuuge, modern building, posh design, soft carpeting, no hustle and bustle around the elevators or during breakfast time in the buffet. The staff was extremely friendly, the girl at the front desk was extremely helpful. Our room was spacious and literally sterile, nice bathroom with a snow white clean tub, flat screen TV, mountain view, plenty of space for our lagguage and free wireless Internet, to make a long story short - just perfect when you didn't expect it.
The fact the hotel stands a bit far from the city center can be easily fixed by cheap cab prices or a bus (which we never had a chance to take, but we noticed it was really frequent). We walked a couple of times from the hotel to the city center, it's a 15 min walk, not that bad. It's just a 10 min ride from the train station and a 5 min cab drive to Alhambra.
We really loved it and hope to come back some times.

This hotel is very modern, clean and comfortable. it is ideal if travelling by car, you just follow the ring road south towards the Alhambra (Ronda Sur) and when the road runs out on a mini roundabout, its there. Parking is well priced at just 8 euros a night.

Its a bit of a walk from the town centre, you probably could do it but it would be quite a hike, However there is a bus stop just outside the hotel which is only 1euro to anywhere in town which is great value. Buses are frequent (even on a sunday) and clean and tidy.

There is a bar nextdoor which is handy and has a very posh restaurant upstairs, which was however full when we were there, it might pay to book in advance if you wanted to use it. but the hotel restaurant had space on any given evening. There aren't many other restaurants and bars in the vicinity (we didn't see any but we didn't explore that much either) but loads in town so a taxi ride or night bus would be quite easy.

Overall, large, comfortable rooms. We got a great rate of £58 a night per double room from last minute. Great if you have a car and only about 5 mins from the town centre on the bus.

This is hotel is new and of a very high standard of service and cleanliness. It is a convenient hotel if travelling by car situated within a short drive of the Alhambra or a short bus or taxi ride into the city. The bus costs one euro and a taxi 5. We got a very good deal as it is a quiet time of year. On route to the Sierra Nevada for the skiing.

This was a awesome hotel for the price. It was very spacious from the lobby to the bathroom. They offered a free shared internet computer, bus stop right outside, very clean bathrooms, and a helpfull staff. The bus "33" was a 15-25 minute wait sometimes so we would often take a taxi that could take you to Alhambra or city center for 5 to 7E. The Airport taxi was about 30-35E. The city was great . We bought Alhambra tickets online with "Servicaxia", and picked them up with no wait at this building with 8 machines. You just put your credit card in and they print your advance booking tickets. Beware of the gypsies offering to give you a plant. Everybody else was friendly.
