Given what we paid for this (eur50 for a double room plus eur11 for breakfast, per night), we expected the bottom floor to be very show and the rest crumbling. But we were completely wrong! The whole place is clean and cool, and quite new, with big heavy wood making up a lot of the corridor panelling and room features, good beds, very flexible room cleaning service (10am is fine, 6pm seems fine too!), a pool and plenty of rooftop seating - and all set in a quiet area of town. We asked to be moved to a higher room (which was no problem) but the ground floor would've been quiet enough; the road isn't busy, certainly no trucks or night traffic, and the windows very insulating. There's a little on-street parking if you're lucky. The walk into town is pleasant and short (10-15 minutes); the hotel's near a main road for simple airport access. The rooftop is open from 11am - 1am and offered views of the Sierra Nevada as well as all of Granada. Breakfast is open until 11am, too, so you can afford to come home late. There are plenty of oils, cold cuts, cereals and fruits, as well as sausages and eggs if you like; the staff are friendly and the dining room spacious and light. Big bathrooms, with a bath, and ours had separate wash and toilet rooms. We were very happy with the location, the price, and the service. The pool's not big, and there will be young kids up there, but everybody was very well behaved when we visited, and finishing last night's wine on the roof after breakfast was great (until the temperature hits 35). There is a lot of seating there and plenty of umbrellas etc. for shade. There's also a jacuzzi on the roof, though a few jets in it were off. Most of the guests were Spanish, and as friendly as the staff. AC in every room, that will run even without a card in for electricity, so you can come back to a cool bed after a hot day. Only downside is that there's no late-night alcohol from either the main bar or minibar (save a small can of Bud).
