Right across the street from the Alhambra
This hotel was right across the street from the Alhambra and it was very clean and the food was very good and the staff was helpful and most could speak English although they would indulge you if you wanted to try out your High School Spanish. The pool was a nice treat after walking around the Alhambra for most of the day.
Traveller's tip on local attractions
Take the night bus tour of the Albycin from the hotel with a visit to the Gypsey caves and Flaminco dancing.

Faded Glory
Very well situated for the principal entrance to the Alhambra (five minute amble down the hill), on a curving, leafy, steep section of the road that rises out of the old quarter of town - Albacin. Walking into town is an enjoyable 10-15 minute stroll down the hill. The return journey is much more arduous, especially in the summer heat, and you would be well-advised to hail a cab (about Eur5-8 from the town). Internally, the hotel is looking tired, but not without its charming kitsch touches. Lobby is tidy and well air-conditioned, with Moorish tiling, wood panelling and a marble floor. Room corridors are a bit tatty. Pool is small, and a bit cloudy, but nice enough for a cooling splash-about after the day’s explorations. Food in the restaurant is more than adequate – generous (and very tasty) hot and cold buffet offerings at Breakfast and Lunch. The lobby bar provides hot and cold snacks and excellent coffee. Staff are friendly and willing to help where they can - Ivan deserves a particular mention here. Reception staff are a font of helpful advice and will take you through a map of the town centre and environs as a part of the welcoming/check-in procedure. Rooms are clean and well-presented, though my only gripe was that the air conditioning was not quite fierce enough. Recommended as an affordable and comfortable base for your explorations of this fascinating city. Just manage your own expectations as to opulence.
Head into Albacin and seek out the Arab quarter for some intriguing little passageways and excellent little restaurants.
