If you plan to spend time at Alhambra--especially in the hotter months, do yourself a favor and book two nights here! Save time and $$!
From the moment I walked in until I left, service was top-notch! Ana at the front desk could not have been more helpful. From where to eat, what to do, where to go, how to get there, etc., everything was perfect, as was the rest of the staff.
Staying here will not only save you $$ but will enhance your Alhambra experience as it is right across the street. Book your ticket for the night visit for your arrival day. You can check in, shower and nap, have something to eat and then visit the palace. The next day, make sure you get the first entry, as it will be HOT by 11 AM. You can then go back and forth to the sites and your room to cool off, have something to eat (there is a mini fridge where you can keep snacks and water cold) or change clothes.
Breakfast is quite nice, with a variety of breads, meats, cheeses, fruits, eggs, etc. It is buffet and not made to order, which I prefer. You can eat at 7:30 when they open, take your time eating and then be at the Alhambra entrance in five minutes.
The rooms are typical of this price point and it suited me fine as a single traveler. I loved that there was a mini-tub as I could soak my sore feet after 20K steps up and down hills on cobblestone. And there is COFFEE in the room!!! This American needs coffee before appearing in public.
I am recommending this hotel to my HUGE travel group
