Estupendo hotel de grandes prestaciones a bajo precio en una zona privilegiada en el centro de Granada, ya que da a una plaza bastante silenciosa, pero sin embargo está a menos de 2 minutos andando del bullicio de la ciudad. El cuarto era impecable, y el baño me dejó muerta (estaba fenomenal).... more Estupendo hotel de grandes prestaciones a bajo precio en una zona privilegiada en el centro de Granada, ya que da a una plaza bastante silenciosa, pero sin embargo está a menos de 2 minutos andando del bullicio de la ciudad.

La única pega es que no todo el personal de recepción tiene un nivel correcto de castellano, pero eso tampoco nos ha ocasionado gran problema, la verdad es que fueron muy amables.close

This was more like a hotel than a hostel and was beautiful. Awesome new rooms, extremely clean and a great location. Would definitely recommend but don´t follow the street signs to get there as they send you in a cirle (which is hilly) - follow your map or the hostels instructions.

If you need a really clean and safe place to stay at, but don't expect any fun programm, this is your place to stay...5 minutes from the cathedral... anyways you could be in granada in a crap location and it would still be incredible...best spot in spain

Excellent value for the price! Great shower, comfortable bed with nice sheets... Not high on the Fun factor, but if you're looking for comfort this is the place. Only complaint is that there's not wifi in the rooms as advertised (at least not in our room), but there is in the halls & lobby area.

the hotel was great. the building is elegant and new, the room was big and the bathroom was excellent, with a idromassage in the shower! there was also free internet in the hall, and the possibility to have a breakfast in a nice terrace with a cool view of the city. We would reccomend it.

TO FIND THIS HOTEL IF YOU ARE BY CAR/MOTOCICLE - GOOD LUCK!!! You have to be very well informed to find it - go on it's internet side and get the location. If you don't have it you will make circles arounf the hotel and will not find it.

Very good hotel. Must be a 2 - 3 star rating. Rooms were really good with Air conditioning available. Breakfast was from a vending machine, and had to be paid for seperately. Staff can make bread toast if requested for an additional charge. Decent place to stay if getting a good deal on price.

I wouldn't really class it as a proper hotel as it doesn't boast a proper bar or a restaurant however one of the best 'tapas' streets in all of Spain begins just a few metres from the hotel so that wasn't a drawback. All in all my girlfriend and i were satisfied except for the fact that there was no way to control the heating (or the apparent lack of it) in our room. This was an issue as we were there in February so it was a bit chilly at night.close

THis was a beautiful hotel except for the fact that our room smelled like dirty cat litter and the receptionist told us that it was because the heat vents were old, needless to say we had to spend the whole night freezing with the window open.

This was a great Hotel. Located perfectly close to the stairs up to the Alhambra. Furnished very modern. Very clean rooms and a very nice bathroom. The only missing was a hairdryer. We could even use a PC free of charge. Next time I will certainly go again to this hotel.
