“We want to come back!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We spent 3 nights there, and wished it could be more... For a very cheap price (low season, 69euros per night with breakfast included and free wifi), we had the best room we could dream of. Amazing decoration, views over Albaicin and Alhambra even from the bed, a huge bath with candles for romantic moments, etc... The hotel location is not as bad as you could think: we went walking everywhere, to Sacromonte, to Alhambra (10 min with Cuesta de los Chinos), to la Cartuja... The breakfast is super nice, simple, and healthy: fresh fruit salad, fresh squized orange juice, yoghurt, bread and toppings. Antonio has been very helpful without being inviding. The only cons were: the humidity due to winter + the fact that the shower and bath are not separated from the bedroom / the toilets were smelling very bad (canalization problems?) / I was a bit cold the first night but then Antonio gave us an additional layer for the bed.
The bed is huge and super comfortable, nothing to say about it!!!
Definitely we would come back without hesitations.

Room Tip: Saba has a cooking place which can save you some dining fees.

“Wonderful”

This truely is a hidden gem with the best views of the city. The rooms are clean, super comfortable and decorated with Morrocan influence. The views at night of the Alhambra from our room were amazing. Antonio was a great host and so helpful with whatever we needed. This place has got real charm and character. As it's so hidden there is no place to park nearby, but you can leave your car in a 24hr carpark and Antonio arranges a taxi to pick you up. We had a great trip here...hope to return x

“An oasis”

Antonio runs a gorgeous B&B in Granada. We booked at short notice and as we have discovered in Spain, the hospitality and warmth was immediately evident. I stayed there with my husband and two children aged 15 and 11. My daughter loved the Moroccan themed rooms!The guest accommodation is sumptuous and it is in a very convenient , yet peaceful location. Breakfast was delicious and we also loved the balconies with the beautiful views across to La Alhambra. Antonio was also very helpful in assisting us with getting a taxi to take us down the coast to La Herradura. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Solar Montes Claros and I would love to return, although it is a bit far from Australia!

“It doesn't get any better than this!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

person found this review helpful

This is such a beautiful B&B! We stayed in the Persia room for two nights and loved it! The room is gorgeous and very romantic and the views.....what can I say other than breathtaking! We had such a great view of the Alhambra and at night when it's all lit up, there's nothing else like it! Antonio is amazing and really cares about his guests. He made some great restaurant recommendations for us and was always incredibly helpful with all our questions. I'd recommend taking the bus to the Alhambra and not walking it like we did, unless you are in very good shape. The Albayzin is built on a hill and the walk in and out of the city centre is pretty steep, as was the walk up to the Alhambra. After walking it that first time, we took buses to get back to the B&B for the remainder of our time in Granada. I'd also recommending packing much lighter than we did....we definitely overpacked for our two week trip throughout Spain and carting our luggage up and down the stairs to the B&B was not fun. The breakfasts provided were great and a good start to our busy days! Antonio also kept our luggage for us on the day we checked out because our train to Barcelona didn't leave Granada until 9pm. The Wifi in the room was also really fast.

This is a beautiful B&B and we really enjoyed every minute of our stay here! A very different experience compared to the hotels we stayed at throughout the rest of our trip.

Thanks Antonio - we will see you again one day!

Room Tip: The Persia room has a amazing view and huge bed!

We have spent three nights in Solar Montes Claros and it could not have been better: Fabulous host, great breakfast, best advices and an all around great care.

Together with our 2.5 year old daughter we have enjoyed Granada. Antonio was an unassuming, courteous and very solicitous host, who was there whenever we needed something.

Thanks again for the wonderful service and time...
