Harika Granada’yı hep bu otelle birlikte anımsayacağım.
Pros:

Öncelikle müthiş ev sahipliğini. Zarif, düşünceli, yardımsever. Sonrasında da mükemmel konumu, Sierra Nevada Dağları ve şehir manzaralı teraslı odasını. Her şey çok güzeldi.

Excellent hotel! Enjoyed our stay and would book the same location if/when returning to Granada
Pros:

Breakfast was simple but sufficient and very fresh and tasty...had all the required nutrients and flavour to tackle the day and get out to explore the beautiful city of Granada. The location offered beautiful views although there is a trek up a number of stairs to get to the hotel it was well worth it and you walk away stronger than when you arrived. Highly recommend this hotel, staff was extremely nice and helpful regarding any/all questions to navigate the city, also providing excellent restaurant recommendations. We also appreciated the privacy offered and the honour system employed at this location regarding drinks that simply required recording what you take from their stock when taken....fruit is free. Special thanks to staff Alejandro, Robin and Confession.

Cons:

The hotel does have a policy to not bring outside food or drink into the hotel (room does not have mini-fridge) which we respected, however it would be nice to have something to munch on at night while in the room. Although you are able to bring drinks and fruit from the hotel to your room.

Comme à la maison, un cocon très agréable et confortable.
Pros:

Bel emplacement pour ce Carmen, une maison à flanc de collines avec une vue sur Grenade magnifique, des fleurs, des arbres et des fruitiers. Un intérieur très harmonieux, très propre et très calme et silencieux.

Cons:

Rien de particulier.

No me gustó
Pros:

La cercanía a la Alhambra muy bien. El aseo bien, los jardines muy lindos. La calefacción buena

Cons:

La cama muy pequeña y la habitación también muy pequeña.
La peor parte fue la atención de uno de los recepcionistas (Robin) muy insistente en saber la hora de checkout, nos preguntó 9 veces y ya lo que fue horrendo, es que tocaba mi pan mientras estaba en el tostador con todos sus dedos para ver qué tan caliente estaba, luego con sus manos lo agarra y lo pone en mi plato. Importante mencionar que es el recepcionista también.
Y por último de las cosas malas, es que el desayuno solo tenía huevos duros, pan y un tomate que te tenías que cortar tú con un cuchillo de mantequilla sin filo. Muy mal desayuno

物有所值！
Pros:

比较干净，在山上因此夜里很安静。露台的植物很养眼，也是非常不错的看夕阳的地方。老板和团队都非常友好，服务及时且周到。

Cons:

床品可以考虑更新；
入住酒店的客户可以考虑送两支饮用水。
