Reviews and Ratings
I had to sleep in the room nearest the front door to keep an eye on the kids at night, but our room had a fridge and a body pillow, along with all the usual amenities. On the bright side, we had the room with the TV furthest from the main door, which was great for us.
I stayed at the hotel, and overall, I had a great experience. The location was fantastic, just steps away from the historical center, making it easy to explore. The staff was helpful and accommodating, yet there were some noise issues with the rooms. The rooftop dining offered a good view, but there were some limitations with the breakfast options. The facilities were satisfactory, and the pricing was reasonable.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were surprisingly warm for December and offered views of the busy street, but they were a bit of a maze and quite cold in the night during my stay in late April. The service was top-notch, with staff being very helpful and friendly, although they only spoke one language. The location was central and convenient, with secure private parking available for a small fee, but it leaned more towards shopping areas rather than historical sites. Dining options were basic but tasty. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
The hotel offers basic accommodation with quiet rooms at the back of the property. The staff is helpful but language may be a barrier. The location is great for shopping but not historical sightseeing. The dining options are very basic, and the breakfast could be improved.
Staying at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. While the location was excellent, right in the central area near the Cathedral, shopping, and restaurants, the room was below average due to its noisy surroundings. The service was friendly and helpful, but the morning noise was a bit of a drawback. Dining was somewhat lacking, and the continental breakfast was just okay.
Staying at this hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The room, despite overlooking a lightwell, was a cozy escape from the busy streets of Granada. It was well-equipped, clean, and had a fridge and a body pillow which added a nice touch to the charm of the city. However, the service, while friendly, had some issues with communication and room changes. The location was ideal for exploring the city, being central to many attractions. The dining experience was decent with a continental breakfast on the top floor. Despite minor hiccups, the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel is conveniently located for sightseeing and exploring the city, with a warm welcome from Mr David who provided helpful information about parking. The rooms, although simple, were clean and comfortable. The dining options offered traditional homemade regional products and were reasonably priced.
The hotel had clean and comfortable rooms, though some were noisy being situated facing a back courtyard. The service was welcoming and helpful, and the location was fabulous right in the center. The dining experience was simple but tasty, and the facilities were good overall.
The hotel is ideally located, offering close proximity to major attractions and a convenient stay. The rooms, although on the darker side and resembling a hostel, are decent. The service is friendly and accommodating, with helpful assistance provided. The dining options, especially the continental breakfast at an additional cost, could be more varied. Overall, a good value for the price paid.
The hotel is located right at the center of Granada, just a short walk to all the sights I wanted to visit. The service was professional, friendly, and always ready to assist, making my stay very pleasant. However, the room was a bit small with a view of a wall from the window and was chilly at night without proper heating. The continental breakfast was decent but nothing extraordinary. The central location and helpful staff truly stood out, despite the minor room issues.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, especially loving the quiet and peaceful nights thanks to the effective double glazing. The location was superb for exploring the city, and the service was always helpful and friendly. The dining experience had a lovely atmosphere, while the rooms provided a comfortable retreat from the busy city life.
The hotel's rooms were a little beat up but clean and modern, with two windows facing two courtyards providing nice airflow, although privacy could be an issue. The service was very helpful and courteous, with excellent housekeeping and tour/ticket assistance. The location was the best place near the city center, within walking distance to major attractions like the cathedral and Alhambra. The dining options were interesting but lacked a buffet, and the facilities were conducive to a pleasant stay.
