Decepción
Pros:

Buenas instalaciones, pero el gerente bastante poco empático, lo que me hace quedarme con mal sabor de boca.

Cons:

Tuvimos que salir una noche antes de lo previsto, porque por el temporal no pudimos esquiar. Les pedí si podían devolvernos el coste de la última noche, aun asumiendo nosotros la comisión que tuvieran que pagar. Teníamos 2 dobles durante 4 noches. Primero me dijeron que había una comisión. Cuando les dije que yo la asumía, me dijeron que no podía anular con tan poco tiempo porque no tenían tiempo suficiente para realquilarla. Luego el problema no era la comisión de la agencia....
Soy consciente de que no es culpa suya la nevada que ha caído y que nos ha hecho regresar antes de tiempo sin esquiar. Pero algo más de empata y menos avaricia, hubiera sido lo coherente.

Quedada amigos Camino Santiago en Granada
Pros:

Todo es excepcional. No podía imaginar cuando realicé la reserva, que había dado de pleno con el alojamiento que cubriría mis necesidades del viaje planificado. Tenía pensado hacer rutas de senderismos y visita a Granada, ubicación perfecta, entorno incomparable. El alojamiento y las habitaciones reservadas imposibles de mejorar. El personal atento. Sin duda, es y será mi alojamiento de referencia, para mis próximas estancias en la zona. Totalmente sorprendido. Una grata experiencia

Cons:

No hay nada que no me gustara. Hacía tiempo que no tenía la sensación plena de satisfacción en mi elección.

Would I stay there again - most certainly YES!
Pros:

What's not to like!! After staying in a supposed 4 star hotel recently - this place outshone my expectations. Clean, well decorated, a fridge for your own supplies in room (assuming every room). Nice bathroom, airy and with ac, hanging space, and tv. For us Brits, yes the kettle is missing, but plenty of cafes around, and they are extending, so will have a cafe on site. Perfectly placed for everything as there is a bus into Granada for 1.60 euro. The owner is also at Meson Guillermo, where you check in. The food is delicious, tapa with every drink and great service. They are helpful, friendly and highly efficient. Would I stay there again, most definitely.

Cons:

Being picky - a lift would be good, but the stairs are doable, even with a bad back. So, in reality, nothing I didn't like.
