• Location: 10 Situated in the grounds of the Alhambra the location is perfect.
• Common facilities and services: 10 We had everything we needed. Breakfast lunch and snacks re available throughout the day. Although dinner isn't available we were offered soup on arrival and there are a lot of restaurants close to the Alhambra that we could choose from. There is no television however we felt that this was in keeping with the nature of the hotel.
• Staff: 10 Wonderful - polite and helpful. They are knowledgeable about the area and will arrange bookings and transport for flamenco shows, taxis etc.
• Quietness: 10 Sometimes there is a low hum of conversation from the beautiful courtyard or from tourists passing by which is supplemented by birdsong from dawn to dusk. An absolute joy!
• Room: 10 We chose a smaller room as we didn't intend to spend much time in it other than to sleep, but it was comfortable. There are also single rooms available. The bathroom was spacious and well appointed. The view over Granada is spectacular.
• Value for money: 10 We couldn't believe how reasonable the cost was. We would have paid more and still been satisfied.
