Shine Albayzin - Granada

The location is perfect

The lack of facilities (no bar, no breakfast,..) and the poor design of the bathroom

The Hotel is in an excellent location for exploring Granada. It is close to the Alhambra and in the Albayzin area which is a must see. The hotel is also a 5-7 minute walk from the centre of town with lots of restaurants , shops etc. The staff at the hotel were especially helpful. They arranged a great table at Restaurant Estrellas de San Nicolas for our first night overlooking the Alhambra at sunset.

The only small concern is that wifi was not accessable in the room because of the thick walls.

We had a superior double. The room was large and beautifully designed with windows opening onto the river and looking up to the Alhambra. It was delightful. Would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Perfect location. Quiet, beautiful hotel

If you are driving, it might be difficult to get here.

Suite booked had amazing view of Alhambra Palace and largest opening windows that you could imagine.2 Gorgeous bathrooms and private lift(most unexpected) made us feel like royalty! We have never had a room with 2 flights of stairs inside it! We could not stop smiling whole visit.

Breakfast offering very poor in enclosed room. (Suggest eat out at bar nextdoor.) No kettle to make tea/coffee in room. Nb Contrary to Booked.net details online, only 1 suite has a balcony.After a little moan we loved the giant windows and armchairs better.

The Hotel is very well situated for visits to the Alhambra Palace and other tourist attractions. We drove from Malaga which was an easy hour and a half but the difficult part was trying to find a car park close by. The link to the road directions from google are not good, you would be better to down load a map from web sites yourself. The hotel is lovely though, very modern with plenty of the old history still remaining.

Great location, beautiful building, nice rooms and friendly staff. Very much recommended, especially considering the price.

Staff spoke very little english

The location

Design hotel is a an exaggerated appreciation. They still have to work on some details: cold environment, somewhat unfriendly; brightness in rooms is too small; lack of a simple shower shelf...

I liked that it was quite close to the Plaza Nueva, very centrally located.

This hotel is more form than function. They did a beautiful job of remodeling, but it's all for show. There was a note in the bathroom that said (paraphrasing here) "because this is an old hotel the hot water works for 20 minutes, and then won't come back for another 30 minutes". In reality, the hot water in the shower only worked for about 10 minutes. My view was mostly of the side of another building, some 30 feet away. The bed was two twins pushed together, and the breakfast is meager for the price they require. I believe there could be a much better hotel found for less money.

This hotel was wonderfully appointed, cool and very comfortable. The staff were exceptionaly friendly and helpful. The rooms have been fitted out very thoughtfully, and the breakfast was excellent. It is very good value for money. The location in the old part of the city is perfect for walking around, and the views of the Alhambra were breathtaking.

We had a very nice room in the 2nd floor with view to Alhambra. I guess there's a big difference with an interior room otherwise I don't think it worth. Architecturally speaking it's perfect. The atmosphere is very nice and the sound of the river (I guess only if you have an exterior room) is lovely!

Not very well informed by the staff regarding what we can visit in Granada. I suspected some proposals they did were for commercial commission they get. (Anyway I'm not sure about this...). The fact that the WC is open isn't a genius ideia, but in the way the architect designed the room, they had no other choice. You need to manage the shower use and wait 30 min until you get hot water again.

Excellent location for exploring the Albaicin.

Decor didn't preserve more of the original features of the palace

Loved it. Very helpfull girl on reception all good

Nothing to complain about

My stay was lovely. The staff was very helpful and nice. It would have been nice to have phones in the room as I am still one of those who does not have a fancy travel phone. The room was not quite birght enough (the lighting) yet I relaxed there and really had a fine time there. Thank you again. Susy Grazi

The reception staff spoke English, the hotel is very quiet because it is on a non-vehicle road, and the hotel is very close to the the Alhambra and within easy walking distance of lots of good restaurants.
