Reviews and Ratings
Upon arrival, I was greeted with a delicious pinacolada and found the rooms to be well-appointed, comfortable, with a modern great taste that incorporated local decorative styles. The small outdoor swimming pool and exercise room were nice additions. The service was very welcoming and helpful, especially when assisting us in navigating to the hotel. The location, though perfect for visiting the Alhambra Palace, had some drawbacks with its accessibility to downtown Granada. The dining experience was not impressive, but the local restaurants were more affordable. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, especially the outdoor area which was gorgeous. However, the rooms got uncomfortably warm at times. The service was exceptional, with incredibly welcoming and helpful staff. The location was perfect for visiting the Alhambra Palace, being just steps away, although a bit of a walk to the town center.

The hotel surprised me with its splendid view of the Alhambra's fortifications from the room, even if it was not as spacious as expected. The bed was indeed very comfortable, and the location was great for exploring both the monument and the lively old town. The pleasant decor and amenities added a nice touch to the stay, although the room size was a bit cramped for my liking.
The hotel offers very spacious and impeccably clean rooms, which are a rarity in Spain/Europe. The shower and bath are excellent, although there were issues with ants. Despite this, the room was incredibly quiet, and the old town was just a pleasant 15-minute downhill walk away.
