We stay in Granada at least 2 times a year, and I've tried many B&Bs because I like their quirkiness. Sometimes however, quirky, can spill over into something you don't really want. As in- instead of the furnishings being pleasantly shabby-chic, etc, we found they were really very run down. It would be one thing if we were paying 89 a night, but at 200, you really ought to get more. Additionally, when they say views, that all depends on your room. There is one room that I peaked in which would have made it worth it (and I'm sorry the name fails me), but otherwise this one is definitely a pass. - If you wanted to gamble on this one, ask for the room that is blue and white at the very top of the stairs. Its the only one with a full balcony and gorgeous views.

Stil, if you can, opt for Pension Mari Carmen as I highly recommend staying in the old town - its the reason you go to Granada! Staff there is friendly, hotel sparse, but delightfully decorated.

I don't want to be too hard, after all it's a B&B, but this was beyond tired and even I, a hopeless romantic for all things Spanish, found this "un poco cansado".

Stayed here for 2 nights on our honeymoon. We managed to stay in a room with balcony with the MOST amazing views of the Alhambra for 175 euros a night, which I thought seemed pretty reasonable. The ceilings in some parts are very low (both the bathroom and the stairs) and I kept bashing my head and I'm only 5 10 so taller people watch out! Staff are hopeless (ooh no, there's no one to carry your bags and no you can't use the computer for 1 minute) and the breakfast is rubbish and poor value. But it's a great location, with some really charming rooms, and a wonderful place to start your honeymoon...

What a mistake it was to book this place. While walking to find it (you cannot drive to the hotel) my wife and I were hassled by teenagers using drugs less than a block from the hotel. When we found the hotel entrance there was a torn up old couch across the small courtyard from the door and a couple rough looking characters nearby. We didn't feel very safe walking to this place during the afternoon, much less at night. Finally, we were shown our room. It was dark, smelled old and musty, and was completely different than the photos on the website we used to book our stay. In spite of explaining that the room wasn't as advertised and that we didn't feel safe right outside the hotel, the hotel demanded a one night (90 euro) charge to cancel our reservation. We felt ripped off. We decided to pay the charge and found another hotel that was superior and less expensive. Don't waste your money at Hotel Carmen de Santa Ines.

Stayed here for 2 nights in April in room 9. The hotel was beautiful and in a great location. Room 9 was lovely, the only thing was that it was a little dark but it didn't really matter. Had a lovely bathroom with both a bath & a shower and the beds where very very comfy, was also nice & quiet. In a good location being near lots of restaurants & a fabulous viewing area for the Alhambra. There is also a bus stop right outside the hotel that does a regular circuit of the town & takes you up to the Alhambra if you don't want to walk, and it only cost 1 euro no matter how far you go.
