We loved the very central location and the staff recommendations on tapas places and Teterías were spot on. The coffee shop on the ground floor was excellent for having a traditional breakfast of tostados, coffee and juice, and served an excellent cheesecake for teatime.

We splurged on the penthouse room with a view of the Alhambra. It was an absolutely magical experience! The staff was super helpful. The amenities were perfect. The bed was a dream. Loved the living area overlooking the city’s crown jewel. This will live long in my memories! 💛 Pro tip: connect with the team before your arrival (which they tried to do) especially if you’re coming by car or with a lot of luggage.

Cool room layout, with a nice view overlooking the stream running through town. The view of the Alhambra was limited, but the view in general was charming. Walls were a bit thin, but in general the hotel was quiet. Great and very helpful staff. Superb adjoining coffee place with great food.

Best authentic riad living with views of Alhambra

Every time we come to Granada, we stay here. When my wife and I eloped in Granada, it was this hotel that we stayed at. The suite has the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in since being in Europe. Everyone on the staff are professionals and so nice. We will always stay at Hotel Shine each and every time we come to Granada, our home away from home.
