“character, well located property but a bit overpriced!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

people found this review helpful

2 converted old buildings- one of them being a former convent with a peaceful courtyard (where you can also eat) in the middle. My room - one of the superior ones-was great- overlooking the courtyard and with beams, nice size, feel and bathroom with good accessories. The hotel is on the main street in the centre and I wonder if the street standard rooms may be a bit noisy tho? Good location, however, and within easy walking distance of most things- even the alhambra if you do not mind walking and ok going uphill for about 20 minutes...
Staff were really helpful on the reception.
Breakfast was adequate- fresh coffee and orange juice nice touches but somehow not quite up to spec for a 5 star hotel. Plenty of places to eat nearby so you do not necessarily need to eat in- including cake shops and patisseries on the same street..and lots of restaurants in the town...
The gym and saunas were not too impressive... and need booking in advance to use.. small and not inspiring so I did not bother using them in the end..
I would recommend this hotel if you can get a decent rate.. also try the amazingly located parador in the alhambra and some of the old character hotels in the centre...
just one word of caution- some pickpockets and drug addicts clearly visible in the centre...

Room Tip: facing on to courtyard in the converted convent....altho more expensive..

“Very good quality, location, staff, dining.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

This hotel was ideally situated for our first visit to Granada. We would return. We stayed in the Palacio portion of the hotel and enjoyed the atmosphere. The staff was exceptional, very helpful and friendly.
While the rooms were clean, ours was awkwardly constructed, smallish and cramped. There were no drawers and the closet was small with too few hangars. The lighting was poor, very dark rooms, with no natural light.
Despite the last remarks we would stay there again, as the positives outweighed the negatives. It is a solid choice.
We ate dinner in their dining room on our first night in Granada and had exceptional food and service. Breakfasts were very good and a great value.

Wonderful hotel with great staff, good restaurant and unique rooms. Location was very convenient to transportation to all areas of the city. Easy walking distance to restaurants.

“Very modern hotel in an old city.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I spent two nights at this hotel in Nov 2011. The hotel is in an old converted convent and that gives it some lovely features like the courtyards. However, I felt that the decor in the room was too modern for the setting, but this is just a personal preference. The concierge service was excellent, the breakfasts we ordered were perfect and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. Only a couple of gripes, 1) Free wifi in room should be standard in a 5* hotel. 2) Would be helpful to have english speaking people available to talk to when ordering room service.
All in all this was a great hotel in a good location, but maybe a touch too modern for me.

Room Tip: Ask to stay in the old part of the convent.

“Wonderful except for room lighting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

Excellent location, attentive staff, fine restaurant, beautiful courtyard. Rooms well appointed, but weirdly all room lights are either on or off. This can be a problem if only one person wants to stay up and read or watch television, use the bathroom, etc. The staff knows about this, but apparently there is no plan to correct it. During our stay we had some significant needs for help due to personal mobility and orthopedic problems. The staff could not have been any more helpful. They were exceptional. There was a noise problem one night with loud revelers outside our window, and the staff did take steps to deal with it when asked.

Room Tip: We switched to a more modest room because the deluxe room had some steps which posed a safety proble...
