My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was excellent with great views over Granada and convenient access to the Alhambra, but the rooms were a bit underwhelming with limited facilities and a slight smell. The service, although overworked, managed to be friendly and polite. The dining experience was top-notch with a wide selection, while the lack of certain amenities was noticeable.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the positive side, the room was spacious with the largest terrace I've ever had, complete with a nice table, chairs, and sun loungers. The hotel staff were friendly and cooperative, helping us with an early check-in after a tiring flight. However, there was a slight hiccup with the room initially, but they promptly changed it to a more suitable one. The breakfast was amazing, with a great selection. On the downside, the location was a bit tricky to navigate due to a steep hill, and the dining options at the hotel were average.

The hotel had tiny rooms, smaller than shown in pictures, but spotless upon arrival. The rooms were comfortable and very clean, suitable for short stays rather than long family vacations due to limited storage space. The service was polite yet sometimes seemed bored, although they exceeded expectations by helping with restaurant recommendations and providing bus schedules for complex journeys like Toledo. The location was perfect, a short drive to the city center, but taxis were readily available for about €7. Dining options, while plentiful and varied, were self-service with limited hot drink choices. The facilities were well-presented and accommodated all tastes. The hotel offers good value for money overall.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was superb, right across from the Alhambra, making sightseeing a breeze. However, the rooms were below par, with noise from traffic and deliveries being a constant annoyance. The service was adequate but lacked a personalized touch. On the bright side, the dining experience was enjoyable with a good selection of breakfast items.

The hotel was in a prime location, convenient for visiting top attractions like Generalife and Alhambra. The rooms, despite a slight sewer smell in the shower, were delightful, featuring a wonderful private terrace. The feeling of being overcharged due to tourist status lingered, but overall, the rooms were satisfactory.
