This small hotel is in a brilliant position, close to the Alhambra, above the city and with stunning views to the mountains. Manuel the owner is enthusiastic to ensure you see all there is in Granada and is willing to give you all the time necessary to answer your questions. The hotel, though it more resembles a private home, is... More

The Alcubilla is located on the same hill as the Alhambra, but on the other side of the hill from the Albayzin. Its location means that it is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel to the entrance of the Alhambra, and it has lovely views of the mountains beyond Granada (and of part of Granada itself, always more attractive...

I think this may have been the best lodging we had in Spain! Personalized service from Manuel, and wonderful views. We stayed in the Bougainvillea room and it was lovely. The only "watch-out" I would give is the room is advertised as having a "private" terrace. It does have a lovely terrace, but is blocked from the main terrace by... More

We stayed for 2 nights in Le Torre room the top room with magnificent views over Granada and the snow capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada. Manuel the owner was so welcoming and gave us lots of information about Granada. He plotted various things on the city map which was very helpful. The whole experience staying in this hotel was...

This exquisitely maintained B&B is nestled on the hillside between the Alhambra and downtown--an easy walk to both. The view overlooking the city is magnificent. I can't imagine a better place to stay in Granada.

We stayed 3 nights in this wonderful place, so close to the Alhambra. The settings and surroundigs are beautiful, the staff is extremely polite and courteous, and the owner is an infinite source of knowledge as well as a great host. Will definately be back!

We stayed at this small traditional B & B for 6 nights. Manuel is the most delightful person you would ever wish to meet. He and his staff were all lovely. We can't praise them enough. They couldn't do enough for us. We had the top floor room in the tower which had a large terrace and views over the... More

I will never stay anywhere else in Granada. Perfectly situated a 10 minute walk from everything, this gem is close enough while quietly removed. Manuel made us feel right at home, giving us our "house keys" and sending my kids out to pick oranges from the hotel's trees for snack. The rooms are clean, well-appointed, and comfortable with breathtaking views... More

....this was our 3rd visit to Granada and easily the best hotel we have stayed in. The only possible issue would be for people with any kind of mobility problem as all access to the hotel (or Carmen) is either by very steep pathways / steps or cobbled and steep lanes. Rooms were very welcoming and calm; ours ("El Cipres")... More

I rarely take the time to write reviews although I travel a lot - but the Carmen de la Alcubilla del Caracol and its owner Manuel really deserve praise! I warmly recommend this hotel to anybody travelling to Granada. The location is very good, between the Alhambra and the city centre, on a hill with spectacular views both to the... More
