consiglio questo albergo a chi vuole visitare l'Alhambra, al pomeriggio è possibile riposarsi in piscina e la sera è disponibile un ristorante con barbecue al 4 piano veramente speciale, prezzi corretti, vista stupenda

9.3

good position for visiting alhambra in Granada. You can reach Alhambra in 1 minutes walking. On the contrary the hotel is not very close to the center of Granada, but with bus or taxi you can reach it in 5-10 minutes

9.2

Seul bémol, l'hotel ne propose pas de chambre familiale. Nous avons malgré tout profité de l'offre B&B à 84 euros par chambre (petit déjeuner buffet inclus) ce qui est très raisonnable pour un hôtel de cette catégorie, en plein mois d'aout.

9.1

I would thoroughly recommend this hotel for anyone wishing to visit the Alhambra. It is just across the road. It was easy to find and parking is simple in the Alhambra car park (although you do have to pay 13euros a day). The hotel was very comfortable and the swimming pool was great at the end of a long morning's sightseeing. Only two complaints - one, no supervision at the pool; two, no policy of quiet after 11 pm (for example).

8.7

The hotel is located along Alhambra's Parking. It's easier to localize it than the road's name (My TomTom didn't know it !!) The localization is perfect with good bus lines to the center of Granada

7.9

Excellent rooms. Cafeteria very disappointing, but so is all the food in the immediate Alhambra vicinity. But incredibly convenient to the Alhambra.

9.9

Excelente hotel. Me agradaria volver alli.

8.5

Ideal situation within 2 mins walk of Alhambra Palace. Verynquiet after tour buses stop at 6.30. suggest eating elsewhere however as buffet style restaurant slightly reminiscent of school canteen. Public transport 2 mins walk into City Centre. Avoid hopper bus - expensive and too large to go into Albaycin and old city areas.

7.6

Good deal and good breakfast. Good position although a fair walk at night uphill through wooded area. The hotel is a coach party place and has not been built for quietness. Everything resounds along the corridors. Still we slept well from midnight to 7.00 with not much disruption.

9.9

Wonderful location within walking distance of the Alhambra and a good walk down to the old town

8.7

The hotel is RIGHT BY Alhambra. If you want to go out in the city in addition to seeing Alhambra, find another hotel. It's SO FAR from downtown and taxi's seem to get aggrivated that they have to drive up there. When looking for the hotel via car, just follow the signs to Alhambra. Don't attempt to Google Map the place because we ended up on the other side of Granada based on the Google Map. And Granada seems to have failed to label their streets on the south side of the city.

9.1

Ottimo per visitare l'Alhambra, il cui ingresso dista 200 metri dall'hotel, e ben servito dai bus che portano in tutti i luoghi di Granada ma che fanno però servizio solo fino alle ore 23,00. L'hotel è tranquillo, le camere sono ben tenute e pulite. Non posso pronunciarmi sul mangiare perchè non ho utilizzato il ristorante.

9.7

The hotel has an excellent location, just in front of the Alhambra, but this info is not really indicated on the map, that was a good surprise anyway. We spent one night and enjoyed very much the hotel. The price/quality is excellent.

8.1

L'hôtel surplombe Cordoue. Avec un magnifique point de vue sur la ville, il est entouré de forêt. L'intérieur est aussi magnifique que son extérieur. La chambre, un peu petite et pas parfaitement insonorisée, reste très confortable et bien équipée avec du très beau marbre dans la petite salle de bain. L'accueil était très chaleureux et plein de bonne volonté (parle français pour certains). Le restaurant est aussi très bon (super point de vue sur la piscine et cordoue, délicieuses spécialités). Il est toutefois préférable d'avoir sa propre voiture pour rejoindre la ville.

9.9

Excellent hotel, clean renovated and stilysh. Breakfast excellent. Very close to the Alhambra castle. Had a really great time staaying there, highly recommneded. The price is excellent based on the quality.

8.4

Great location, just in front of the Alhambra.Rather distant from downtown, but convenient bus service available. I definetely recommend it

4.4

BUSY HOTEL VERY CLOSE TO THE ALHAMBRA, ROOM CLEAN. POOR WELCOME, STAFF COULD NOT ADVISE ABOUT EVENING VISIT AVAILABILITY TO THE SITE EVERY VISITOR MUST HAVE COME FOR. ROOM WAS OVERLOOKED BY SWIMMING POOL.NOTE THE EXTRA CHARGE FOR PARKING.

8.6

I really enjoyed the hotel and could not believe the price - it represented excellent value for money. The only problem was the 850m walk from town up the hill to the hotel at the end of the evening (although taxis were plentiful)

7.6

Wonderful location to the Alhambra, but remember this means the hotel is at the top of the hill in relation to Granada - use the excellent bus service from outside the Alhambra to get into and back from the city. Hotel is very clean, and good value for money. We did not use the buffet (based on other comments), but did use the grill on the 4th floor - lovely views as the sun goes down, and relaxing to while away an evening, food also OK. Pool was great. There are places to eat near the hotel, but remember they follow the hours of the Alhambra, so tend to close early. Granada well worth a visit, and lovely people.

8.3

Second time to Los Alixares for a short break. Location is excellent,staff friendly and much to see and do for all ages. Very few English tourists - they are missing out! - But don't tell them! Will definately be returning later this year - I am sure that any time of year would be good. - The pool is very welcoming and although not the biggest was never overcrowded.

9.7

Great place to stay. Clean, comfortable rooms, Wonderful staff. Fantastic breakfast. Close to the metro, La Rambla and Old Town. I would go back in a heartbeat.

7.9

Lovely hotel great for the Alhambra and sight seeing. Main problem was the food. Absolutely awful, re-heated and kept under lights for ages. You knew that if you had green beens in the evening, you were sure gonna have them for breakfast! However, that was the only problem, cleanliness is very important to me and this hotel was certainly that. Cleaners everywhere - very impressive.Photos of hotel do not do it justice. Would deffinitely stay again.

7.7

Nice hotel, although I was a bit disappointed with the amenities offered for a reported four-star. Everything offered was at an additional cost (e.g. Internet, breakfast, etc.). The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The location was perfect to see the castle, and I wish I knew that it was yards from the entrance before I tried navigating.

8.5

We got a great price for this 4 star hotel from venere.com. Although I think because we didn't pay a lot we got the noisiest room in the hotel which was right above reception and we would hear large groups of people talking through out the night. But other than that, my husband and I had a good stay here. The location to the Alhambra couldn't be better.

9.2

My wife and I stayed here for two nights in Oct 05 and thought that the accommodation was very good value for money considering its proximity to the Alhambra and standard of the room. The only downside was the buffet which whilst edible was uninspiring. However, we would definately use this hotel again when we next visit the Alhambra.

9.8

It was not easy to find the Hotel. Please, put a better map on your site.

7.9

Ideal place to stay if visiting Alhambra--good buffet b'fast but limited main courses at buffet dinner--excellent bus service to & from Granada city centre--carpark fee however is equivalent to having an extra €11 per night to overnight stay! Tour of Granada & Flamenco show well worth seeing also

8.8

Triple room slightly small if staying more than a couple of nights but location is fantastic (right by the Alhambra with views of the Generalife) and overall quality of hotel is excellent.

4.6

Hotel not providing non smoking areas, and has a bar (with smoking guests) connected to the reception. Hotel did not have any internet or e-mail service. Hotels grill restaurant on roof was exellent.

9.3

Excellent location right outside the Alhambra car park. Convenient to local buses. Staff friendly and helpful. Liked the buffet breakfast and dinners at reasonable prices.

9.8

The prices on Venere.com were much better than booking at the hotel itself, so definitely go that route. The hotel is right by Alhambra (the maps do not show this very well) and just up the street from the Hotel Guadalupe, which costs more and isn't actually as nice. The hotel is walking distance (down the big hill--be ready for a leisurely climb on the way back) from the city center and other sites. The hotel is excellent and the online deal here is great. The web site indicates the parking is included, but it is not. You will pay about 11 Euros per day in either the garage or Alhambra parking, but the parking is nearby.

8.6

The hotel itself is fine, but is used by large tour parties, hence the catering is institutional to say the least. We didn't want to risk our lives on the fixed price buffet, which looked like it had been incubating salmonella bugs for hours, so had the a la carte which was equally disgusting. This restaurant also shut early, no-one but us eating in there after 21:30. The locals clearly decline to use it or it would still be busy at 23:30. The next night we had a delicious meal in the parador down the road.
