スタッフが親切。
Pros:

観光地に何も歩いて行ける場所、但しグラナダの地形から登り下りは有る。

Cons:

レンタカーで侵入するのに、少し戸惑った。
侵入禁止(行き止まり)を入る必要が有る。
勿論、道路も狭く一方通行が多いので一回は間違えるつもりで。

Bad experience Won't do it again
Pros:

It's quite

Cons:

The location is a bit difficult to get to there nothing near by you need to walk a lot to get to a grocery store as example
Bed we're very small
The place is a bit weird the receptionist is not there 24 hours and he is the same person who makes you breakfast which is very simple compared to the price
The garden outside smells the there is a lot of mosquitoes
At night the whole there is no lights in the whole place it becomes very dark we did not feel safe and we left the next day and booked another hotel
They refused to refund the reminder of our stay

Pros:

Small quaint hotel set in the hills of Granada. The balcony room views over the city are outstanding as well as a very nice outdoor covered patio with similar views. Walking distance to the Alhambra which was a nice plus. If you like views, this hotel is a hidden gem!

Cons:

The walk to town is hilly. A lot of steps and Uber drivers cannot make it to the hotel very easy. Walk the slight 100 yard uphill sidewalk to the Alhambra Palace Hotel for Uber pick ups. If driving, the hotel operator has to meet you near the hotel to guide you in. Very narrow streets.

Stunning place to stay with wonderful views of Granada and some lovely terraces to sit and relax
Pros:

The location of the property was excellent - only a short walk to the Alhambra and to the main part of Granada. The lounge areas and room were beautifully styled with amazing views. The area was so peaceful yet close to most things. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

There were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room, although there is an honesty bar where you can get a selection of hot, cold and alcoholic drinks.
