If you like the individual character of a small hotel - only about 7 rooms - tucked away on the hillside below the Alhambra and overlooking Granada towards the snowcapped Sierra Nevada, give this Carmen a second, close, look. It's secluded behind a high wall typical of this district but it's close to town - 10 minutes down - and... More

This B&B is quite cozy. The rooms are simply furnished but very comfortable. We opted to eat out for breakfast as we prefer to have a proper Spanish breakfast rather than what was offered at the inn. The staff is delightful and the owner, Manuel, is happy to tell you about what's on offer in Granada. Our only complaint: We... More

We had two nights at this excellent hotel in May 2013. Unusually the weather was really poor with dark clouds throughout and torrential rain the first night! However this hotel more than made up for any disappointments in our visit. It is small and tucked down a narrow street high up overlooking the city. The walk into the city is... More

All the nice things that have been written about the Carmen and it's owner, Manuel, are true. We chose the Carmen because of all we read in Trip Advisor and we were very happy with our choice. We were impressed as soon as we arrived, because Manuel explained so well about how to get around in Granada. Before we left... More

The host, Manuel is very kind to give us all the details about Granada. He also helped us to check the bus and train schedules, booked taxi for us. All the good words about him are true! The hotel is very clean and quiet with great views of the city and mountains. It has 10-minute walk from the city center... More

This small hotel is in a brilliant position, close to the Alhambra, above the city and with stunning views to the mountains. Manuel the owner is enthusiastic to ensure you see all there is in Granada and is willing to give you all the time necessary to answer your questions. The hotel, though it more resembles a private home, is... More

The Alcubilla is located on the same hill as the Alhambra, but on the other side of the hill from the Albayzin. Its location means that it is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel to the entrance of the Alhambra, and it has lovely views of the mountains beyond Granada (and of part of Granada itself, always more attractive...

I think this may have been the best lodging we had in Spain! Personalized service from Manuel, and wonderful views. We stayed in the Bougainvillea room and it was lovely. The only "watch-out" I would give is the room is advertised as having a "private" terrace. It does have a lovely terrace, but is blocked from the main terrace by... More
