Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Basic rooms and small showers — Some guests note that while the atmosphere is lovely, the rooms are fairly simple and showers can be compact.
- Check-in only until 21:00 — The hotel's check-in window ends at 9 PM, so late arrivals need to plan accordingly.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets on site.
- Comfort rating low — The comfort category scores only 2.5 out of 10, despite positive reviews on beds and quietness.
- Public parking may be required — The hotel mentions public parking nearby rather than on-site parking; guests have used the Alhambra car park with a discount.

8.4Verified guest“The service was excellent, breakfast was great and the option of public parking nearby was handy. The room was beautiful, with an extremely comfortable bed and a large bathroom. The staff were wonderful and everything was perfect.”
8.4Verified guest“The staff were wonderfully helpful and the facilities were good.”
8.4Verified guest“We loved being able to come back to the hotel to rest between visits to the Alhambra. In the June heat, relaxing in the courtyard with a cool drink was fantastic. Our first-floor room (second American) had a small balcony overlooking the courtyard, which we really enjoyed.”
8.4Verified guest“The hotel has been in the same family since 1936 and feels welcoming and full of character. It's beautifully located within the Alhambra walls. Breakfast is served in the leafy courtyard and is excellent. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Beds are comfortable and the atmosphere more than makes up for the fairly basic rooms and small showers.”
8.4Verified guest“A marvellous setting in an astonishing city.”
8.4Verified guest“The location was perfect, right on the Alhambra hill. We could drop off our luggage and park in the Alhambra car park with a discount from the hotel. The building is charming, with a cool courtyard for drinks and snacks, and the staff let us leave our bags in a locked room after checkout until we were ready to go. We really enjoyed our stay.”
