If your main reason for visiting Granada is to see the Alhambra/Generalife (for which reservations are required several weeks in advance), then this is an ideal location for a base. It also means you can easily walk around the area's public spaces after dark, when it is quiet and atmospheric. As for the hotel itself, we had walked past it several times in previous years and this year we decided to stay (4 nights in the room with a balcony): we are glad we did. It is quirky, charming and cosy. I was generally quiet and peaceful when we were there (though obviously this will depend on who the other guests are, especially if you have the balcony room which is above the internal courtyard where meals / drinks are served during the day). We received a very warm welcome from the nice lady on the desk when we arrived, and the staff were generally lovely and helpful throughout the visit. And it was nice to be able to buy a light breakfast on the mornings that we were feeling too lazy to go into town. We would happily stay here again.... in fact, we are planning to!

Unless you are opting for buses/taxis, it's quite a steep and lengthy hike from both the nearest car park (we parked at lot 4 of Parkia Alhambra) and also the city centre / cathedral / eateries etc. So if you are not focused on the Alhambra / Generalife, then other locations may be easier. But nevertheless, I would still recommend this small and sweet hotel for a pleasant and unique experience. The only slight negative on this visit is that we returned from the city centre about 11pm on our last night, and could not get the keypad to open to the external door. We were locked out and feared having to sleep in the open air... but after a few minutes of pressing the buzzer, the intercom finally came to life and we were given entry. Phew!

It’s very close proximity to the Alhambra entrance and the very homely friendly atmosphere with very attentive and helpful staff. Everything was very well organised

They didn’t serve dinner and it was hard to find a place which did in that area but. once more the staff were very helpful in giving directions to the only place in the area where we could have dinner

Location great on the Alhambra site . To get there with the rental car very stressful . You have to look for the wooden little house ( Klein houten huisje en daar rechts door de slagboom ) And go through the gate there . Very Andalusian style hotel we loved it . First night was rough because the bed was way to small for us Dutch people . We took an upgrade to another room and the bed was a bit bigger so better for us . The staff was very helpful if you ask them questions . Luxery hotel. Very quit at night and super nice atmosphere.

Small bed first night , the stress about the rental car parked so far away and difficult to get there . Maybe a point to help guests to send them more info upfront about how to get at the hotel and how it works with the parking tickets they have a nice discount .

Traditional and characteristic property with modern conveniences close to the Alhambra. It was great to wander around at night without the crowds and see the buildings illuminated. There was a lovely central courtyard complete with lush plants and ceramics where you could sit and eat. The staff were really helpful, lending us an umbrella, letting us leave our suitcases and calling for a taxi to the station.

Close to the Alhambra, it is located away from the main area of restaurants but there is a reliable and frequent bus that stops fairly nearby which takes about 10 minutes to get to the centre of town.

The location...absolutely perfect for a visit to the Alhambra. You can break up your excursion around the beautiful palaces by popping back to the hotel for a drink and a rest, or even a meal, before heading out to see more of what the Alhambra has to offer. It was wonderful to watch the sunset from the grounds and look at the fabulous Sierra Nevada mountains. It's an old building, very beautiful, but the bathroom was quite modern. The staff are really helpful and friendly. There was a kettle in our room...great for us English who love our tea! You pay extra for breakfast, and there is a fairly good selection to choose from. Yummy eggs and ham! We had one meal there (they stop hot food in the late afternoon) and that was delicious. We would definitely stay here again!

The bed was perhaps a bit too soft for us to be really comfy...but to be honest the rest made up for that!

The Location inside the Alhambra wall is fantastic. The hotel iteself is absolutly charming with its old-world vibe, inner courtyard, and 18th centurty decor. The staff were excellent and attentive despite been very short handed and busy trying to balance everybodies needs. When we realized that they did not have an elevator, we were able to upgrade to the only ground level family suite for surprising small extra amount. We were also able to drive our luggage to the door, although one does have to take it back out to the main parking areas some 10 minutes walk away.

Just be ready for carrying bags up narrow steps if you can't get the ground floor rooms as there is no elevator. Also if coming by rental car, be prepared for the 10 walk to and from the 24 hour parking lots. While you can drive your luggage to the door, you are not able to park there. One wonders if they could not make a deal with the bigger hotel next door that does have a parking area.

That it was at the Alhambra. So it was great especifically for the days we had tickets to The Alhambra tours. The bus system to and from Albaicin and downtown passes every 7 minutes (c32, C30) Rhe bus ro Sacromonte can be taken in downtown (C31) Everything is within a 15 minute bus ride.

The airconditioner did not work. It was cooler outside than inside. We opened the window but it openned to the patio where the restaurant is, so we had noise coming in. However, sleep was O.K. at nigth for they do not serve dinner.

Everything. The staff were so friendly and helpful. My wife had fallen and hurt her knee. The young man on reception immediately got an ice pack and towels as soon as we arrived. He also directed us to the Red Cross who came up to the hotel and bandaged Lyn's knee. Breakfast was excellent with the biggest croissants I have ever seen and delicious fresh orange juice. The older man on breakfast duty was very friendly, smiley and helpful. Lyn was able to rest in the room until able to go out. The room was wonderful, like a small apartment with beautiful carved furniture. The outside patio area was perfect for the delicious lunch with a pint of Sangria!! The woman who ran the hotel was very funny as well as helpful. She was amazed that I have a Spanish name but don't speak much Spanish. The location inside the Alhambra was perfect!

Not being able to stay at the Hotel América for longer!

Location was excellent . Staff were super friendly

Small room but as I was on my own it wasn’t a problem

UNIQUE LOCATION! Right inside the Alhambra. Very friendly staff. Quaint interior. Clean and quiet.

It's a unique place and well worth the aspects you have to consider: It's a bit isolated. you have to walk up and down the hill or take the bus or taxi to get anywhere in the city. Only one restaurant near by, "Jardines Alberto." A bit pricey but good. TIP: Take bus C32 all the way to Plaza St. Nicolas!
