This was OK but not great. Room (108) was very dark and we found it quite noisy. We were disappointed not to have the facility to make a hot drink in our room. However, it was OK for a couple of nights.

Location of the hotel was very convenient. Walking distance to stores, restaurants and the center of Granada. The reception staffs were very welcoming and gave us great suggestions of what to see in the city and a flamenco show. The only observation was that the walls were a bit thin because we could hear loud muffle talks and the tv on from the rooms next door. At least the noises didn’t go on very late at night when we tried to sleep.

Such a great location right in the middle of the city. A little hard to get in to otherwise right smack in the middle of the city was what we were looking for. Front desk was great service and very friendly.

This property is centrally located. Everything is just around the corner (other than the Alhambra). You must reserve the parking ahead of your check in otherwise you are risking not to have parking space available.
