Iconic situation inside the Alhambra helpful staff and comfortable room
Pros:

Lovely hotel in iconic position.

Cons:

The parking situation is difficult. You need to drive and drop off any luggage, but it is not easy to find. We recommend parking and the getting a taxi to the hotel! Also, take your parking ticket with you

Pros:

Its location inside the Alhambra grounds is spectacular! It’s perfect if visiting the site as you can split your visit with a timely nap or bocas in a lovely courtyard!

Cons:

The drawback of traveling alone is that I am often given the room with the twin-size bed…but the view of the street of the Carlos V palace and Turkish baths made up for it!

Notre visite a l'Alhambra
Pros:

La localisation de l'hôtel à proximité de l'Alhambra et le calme. Le charme de la chambre "le toit" et sa petite terrasse. L'accueil à la réception.

Cons:

Le petit-déjeuner est déroutant à priori mais vous ne payez que ce que vous consommez. Idéal pour les appétits "d'oiseau".

Wonderful stay and the Alhambra palaces and gardens are magical.
Pros:

Great location for visiting the Alhambra. Quaint, but has all the immenities. Staff were wonderful especially Puri who gave us many excellent recommendations for restaurants and was extremely friendly and helpful. Was easy to get taxi into town.

Cons:

Nothing!!
Finding the right entrance into the Alhambra property to access the hotel was initially tricky but once found everything went smoothly and parking in the Alhambra parking lot was relatively close.

I had stayed here before. Things have changed, though basically it remains a lovely welcoming place
Pros:

I like the hotel ambiance - regardless of its wonderful position on theAlhambra hill, it is an interesting, almost homely place - rather un hotel like.

Cons:

The advice about the security arrangements was carefully given, but it did worry me that if I stayed out after 10pm, I might not have been able to open the main door and enter. This was my inadequacy, but it did stop me staying out beyond 10 pm.

Amazing value given it is one of only 2 places to stay within the Alhambra complex
Pros:

We chose to stay up by the Alhambra which turned out to be a perfect choice. A bus down into town is just €1.60 for restaurants, bars etc but the peace of the area once the Alhambra and gardens closed was just perfect.

We particularly loved the gardens at the Carmen de lis Martires which very few people seemed to know about. Only 5 minutes walk below the main tourist drag.

But - be warned - there is nowhere to eat or even get a drink at night in the Alhambra complex, unless you go to the expensive Parador. The cafe
In Hotel America closes at 16:30 after which we couldn’t even get a glass of water!

Still - the perfect choice to feel we’d got away from it all and we’d definitely book again.

Cons:

Very basic facilities and the cleaning/breakfast crew started up at 7:30 a.m.!recommend you wait and head into town for more choice and a better value breakfast.

falta agua fría y una neverita en la habitación
Pros:

el patio interior y el silencio nocturno

Cons:

el agua de la ducha y lavabo siempre es caliente... no hay agua fría para ducharnos teniendo en cuenta los más de 40° centigrados ambientales. . deben ir ambas tuberías muy juntas. un pequeño frigorífico en la habitación también hubiera estado bien

Excelente opción en La Alhambra
Pros:

La ubicación es muy conveniente, sobre todo para mi primera vez visitando la Alhambra, y en pleno verano. Pues al final de mi visita estaba ya en mi hotel para poder refrescarme :))) y descansar. Llegar al centro es muy fácil en autobús, aunque caminando no queda lejos tampoco. Las chicas del staff son muy agradables y disponibles para ayudar y recomendar sitios en Granada.

La habitación que yo ocupé era individual, pequeñita pero muy acogedora y limpia, con una bella vista hacia el frente del hotel. Las noches muy tranquilas y he descansado bastante bien.

Disfrute mucho de mi estancia en Granada.
