Hotel overview

Nestled in the artsy, cobbled streets of Granada's Albaicín quarter, this 3-star hotel offers a unique blend of medieval charm and modern comfort. Guests enjoy suites thoughtfully equipped with kitchens, ideal for longer stays or those who appreciate the convenience of preparing meals in place. The vibrant neighborhood buzzes with tapas bars and is crowned by sweeping views from Mirador de San Nicolás.

Despite lacking on-site dining or parking, the hotel compensates with free Wi-Fi, an airport shuttle service, and attentive hosts noted for their helpfulness. Cleanliness and attention to detail stand out in guest reviews, as do the electronic locks providing a keyless, hassle-free stay. Families will find the kid-friendly environment comforting, while accessibility features cater to travelers with mobility needs.

It’s an excellent choice for exploring iconic sites like the Alhambra, Generalife, and Granada Cathedral which are within easy reach. The lack of a pool or fitness center is balanced by a prime location immersed in local culture and history.

“We stayed for 2 nights in an exquisite apartment overlooking the Alhambra. The styling and finish of the apartment was exceptional. It was spotlessly clean, had masses of character and was very comfortable indeed. Olga & Miguel were most welcoming and we had a beautiful fruit basket prepared in the open plan sitting room / kitchen. Olga was always on hand to recommend bars & restaurants & a flamenco show. Our stay was magical…..we didn’t want to leave. A huge thank you to both Olga & Miguel.”

“Lovely place managed by even lovelier people. Great location and very comfortable apartment. We loved the coffee maker which made a full size cup of drip coffee. They had bread, jam, fruit, milk and a couple other things in the fridge for us when we arrived, and it was such a nice touch. Highly recommend.”

“We were fortunate to be upgraded to a beautiful one bedroom suite. There was free use of a laundry, which we really appreciated. The rooms were well appointed with lots of inclusions. As home away from home. Our hosts Olga and Miguel were very helpful.”

“We stayed here in November over a weekend are were incredibly impressed. The location is perfect for exploring Grenada - you're right in the middle of old town and an easy walk to everything. The hotel has recently be refurbished and everything is beautifully presented. The staff were very helpful and the check-in super smooth. The electronic locks on the apartment doors meant we didn't need to worry about forgetting our keys, which was great for us. The apartment itself was really well equipped. The kitchen had everything you could need, there was a TV with lots of channels, there were really nice toiletries supplied and plenty of very soft towels. The bed was so comfortable - we slept wonderfully. We cannot recommend this place enough and we would not hesitate to book this hotel again next time - it was perfect for us!”

“We stayed here for 3 nights. What an excellent location and the service provided us was exceptional. The rooms were delightful, clean and comfortable with facilities that ensured a great stay. Particularly loved the laundry after travelling for some time it was a welcome relief to have fresh clothes. I inadvertently left my kindle behind in our room and the manager traveled (20 min drive) to the railway station where we were to depart Granada to reunite me with my device. Amazing and so thoughtful.”
