In Granada for a wedding and the location was very near the venue. It’s also in the heart of old Granada, within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, taxis, and attractions including The Alhambra. The suite was very roomy, the bed was very comfortable, the shower was luxurious.the housekeeping staff was so sweet and helpful, loved her! And I loved that a tea/coffee station was right outside or suite!
The staff don’t help with bags. Our suite required a walk up a flight of stairs. If my son wasn’t there I couldn’t have done it.

All in all, a great hotel. Location was fantastic - didn’t feel we needed many taxis only for the lazy day. The receptionist (name was Greg possibly?) was super helpful as we arrived and gave us a quick lowdown as to what we mustn’t miss while we were in Granada. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the reception staff. The room itself had everything one could need: we had a fridge (super nice touch in the middle of August); a super powerful hairdryer - a nice change from the weak ones you usually find in hotels. Shower was great and bathroom was kitted with full complementary toiletries. The room was very spacious with a sofa and an arm chair; superb ac that kept the room cool during August (39c). Lots of ample storage and spectacular views over the picturesque cobbled streets of Granada. We were lucky to have a beautiful view of Alhambra up above us. Finally, the room decor was modern alongside the respectfully restored old features of the building.
Very little not to like: only thing was the frosted bathroom door- if someone was using the bathroom at night, the other persons sleep would be disturbed as the whole bedroom would be lit up from the bright bathroom lights shining through. A double bed over two singles pushed together would have been better.

Excelent in so many ways. It was very close to the center, about a 1 min walk away. View of the Alhambra, although far away from it due to how the city is designed. It's either a 25 min walk, or a 5 euro taxi. The room was superb, with water, and a small bottle of wine for free. Some great places to eat close by, just ask for recommendations at the reception.
There is no parking space in the vicinity, and only taxis and public transport are allowed there. But this is due to the city, not a fault of the hotel.

1. Guy at the reception desk is very friendly and attentive. He was there to help or provide guidance on Granada. 2. They have a complementary wine and two bottles of water at the room 3. The AC is not directly flows to the bed, so you decrease a chance of getting a cold 4. The beds are extremely comfy 5. The room was very clean and neat 6. The hotel itself looks interesting and combines old and new. Very nice. 7. The price was reasonable for a room with no view to the fortress. If we ever get back to Granada we'll try to book this hotel.
1. There is no kettle/tea at the room, however, you have a Nespresso machine, a kettle and tea for everyone to use on the second floor. So you can get a coffee/tea anyway. 2. WiFi in our room worked very badly 3. There were no slippers.

Centrally located. Transportation was easy to use and available, except on Sunday. Loved the Alhambra and the flamenco show in the cave. There are a lot of shops and restaurants around the area. Some shops like pharmacies are closed on Sundays. I was ill while there 😕, no fault of their’s, and didn’t do as much as I’d like to do.
Taxi service are a bit challenging on Sunday. I was only there for a 2 days and left on a Sunday. The hotel staff ordered a taxi for me to get to the bus station only to find out there was some sort limitation on vehicle accessibility on that day, luckily I was 4 minutes away from taxi area, which I walked to with my luggage (and I didn’t travel light) only to find no taxis going my way and a line of people also waiting. Luckily I was able to access an Uber and made it to bus stations in the nick of time (2 minutes before scheduled time).

The old rustic style was exactly what we wanted. Loved the front door! Our suite was beautiful. The air conditioning worked beautifully. The bed was very comfortable. The location was excellent, just a short walk to restaurants and shops.
I didn’t like the flight of stairs to my suite and that there wasn’t assistance to get my luggage up and down. Cheap furniture (bedside table literally fell apart!). The towels we large but very, vey rough.

Breakfast wasn’t included however we went to the recommended adjoining cafe & had breakfast there which was good . We enjoyed the location, conveniently close to the attractions, restaurants, bars etc. Greg on reception was extremely helpful & gave good instructions as to where we could visit. His customer service was excellent!
Whilst the room was reasonably comfortable, the air conditioning in the room was directly above your head and quite powerful for such a small room so wrongly positioned. There didn’t appear to be any way to make the top overhead shower work. The wood floor into the bathroom area had a large hole which needs looking at.

The location is amazing, can't imagine being in a better place in Granada. The place is very stylish and classy, the beds are comfortable, bathroom was perfect, the staff was helpful and very friendly.
I would not recommend taking room number 303 because there is a room 302 above that when anyone is moving chairs or turning on tv you can hear them as if they were in your room. Unfortunately there were people having a birthday party above us and we couldn't sleep for the entire night before our trip back home. That was the only thing that spoiled the perfect memory of this place.

First and most important, the people. Concierge Grigor was most welcoming and helpful with local sights, food, and specifics on local transportation. Concierge Antonio checked us out with smiles and easy luggage storage so we could make the best of our last few hours in Granada. And the attached but independent café had many choices of delicious breakfast and lunch - from breakfast bowls with fruit to toasts with avocado, ham, and tomato. Great friendly service and café cortado too. The room we were in had a fantastic view of an Alcazaba tower and walls and buildings of the Alhambra above the Darro River. It was well-designed for spaciousness, quiet, and harmonious furnishings.
The internet was spotty one night.

Position was fab! The staff were very polite and helpful. Lending us umbrellas for our visit to Alhambra! Cafe was excellent and very reasonably priced. Room was small, had everything you needed was clean and tidy. Nice touch with a bottle of free wine and water.
There was a spotlight on the landing that shone through the very thin net curtains all night...wasn't the best! The coffee machine was on the next floor and there were no coffee pods!
