Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very well equipped and clean, but they were too dark, and breakfast was very limited, making it the least enjoyable compared to my previous stays at other hotels. The service was a bit stressful, likely due to the large Chinese tour groups, but overall, the staff was really friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, a couple of miles outside of town but easy to reach by bus or taxi. The dining experience had its ups and downs – the breakfast was slow, but the variety and quality of products were good. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with helpful and friendly staff. While the A/C can be too hot or too cold, the cleanliness and service are highlights. The location is convenient for exploring Granada and Sierra Nevada, with a refreshing mountain view. Dining is average at best, and the facilities are below the standard of most 4-star hotels in Spain.
The hotel offered decent rooms with some amenities, but the service fell short of expectations. The location was convenient for visiting Alhambra, but some discomfort was noted. The dining options were satisfactory but not extensive.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with standard amenities and a comfortable bed. The service from the staff is friendly and helpful but lacks information on certain facilities. Its location is good for visiting the Alhambra but may require a car for other activities. The dining experience is mixed with limited breakfast options. The hotel lacks local amenities for evening strolls.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was very convenient for local bus access at the rear of the building and the massive balcony offered stunning mountain views. The terrace was a great spot to relax, even on a busy Saturday night. However, the nearby surroundings were not particularly special.
The hotel had a stunning mountain view from the rooms, but they felt a bit stuffy due to limited lighting. The service was excellent with very helpful staff, although the language barrier led to feeling overcharged for some amenities. The location was excellent for outdoor activities but a bit far from the city center. Dining options were lacking variety and a bit pricey. Overall, a great spot for nature lovers with welcoming service and beautiful mountain surroundings.
The hotel had a good size room, with amenities like air conditioning and a mini-bar. However, the room was facing the afternoon sun, making it feel like an oven inside, and the window did not open. The service was exceptional and very helpful, especially with traveling details to Granada. The location was terrific, with easy access to the city via taxi or bus. The dining experience was better than expected, with a variety of breakfast options. Overall, a solid choice for a stay.
The hotel rooms were terrific for the cost, large and comfortable with a good bathroom, but much too small for the number of guests leading to waiting times. The service was extremely pleasant and helpful, recommending convenient parking and transportation options. The location is very good, especially for driving into the city center, with secure parking available. The dining experience was mixed, with some meals being excellent and others not meeting expectations. The hotel facilities were modern and close to the palace.
Staying in a junior suite on the top floor felt like an oven, although it was quiet, which is essential for me when choosing a hotel. However, the room did not cool down to a comfortable temperature. The service was very helpful, especially with access to the swimming pool and the convenient location for the Alhambra Palace. On the downside, the hotel guests' service was extremely unhelpful and sometimes rude. The location was great for exploring Granada and Sierra Nevada, although it could have been easier to find if the final instructions had been clearer. The dining experience was a letdown, especially for a 4-star hotel, feeling more like a 3-star. The Italian dishes were not up to standard. Facilities were sufficient, but not outstanding.
My stay at this hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and clean, although there was a slight smell of recent smoking. The location is convenient for visiting the Alhambra and Sierra Nevada mountains, but you might need to drive or take a taxi to get to the town center. The service was friendly, but there were some lapses in providing information about amenities. The dining experience was good with a variety of options, although some aspects could be improved.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with a convenient location to visit the Alhambra. The service was professional but lacked enthusiasm. The proximity to transportation options and shopping centers makes it a great mid-way point for various activities.
The hotel is ideally placed for an early start up to the ski resort, meeting the expectations of a 4-star hotel. However, my room was facing the afternoon sun and felt like a furnace inside at times, giving it a slightly grim feel.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, especially those facing the mountain side, were comfortable with good Wi-Fi and a spacious bath, but the smell of recent smoking was a downside. The lack of Aircon was also a bit inconvenient as the heating/cooling system did not cover the whole hotel. The service was friendly and helpful, although there were some communication issues and unexpected charges. The location was excellent for exploring Sierra Nevada and Granada, but not ideal for longer visits due to additional transportation costs. The dining options were subpar in comparison to the rest of the hotel, with limited choices and overpriced items. The hotel facilities were decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very spacious with 2 large bedrooms, each equipped with a TV, and they were kept exceptionally clean, but the service lacked consistency despite meeting a nice staff member upon leaving. The dining experience offered a diverse selection of food but lacked warmth and creativity at times.
