We stayed here for 2 nights recently and had a lovely time. The property is beautifully tended and the room and lounge area are tastefully furnished and decorated. Our room had a terrace with nice views over the city and to the Sierra Nevada in the distance. The room was very clean, comfortable and private. The Carmen is in a... More

Stayed 25th to 30th April 2012. This is one of the best small Hotels we have stayed in for comfort, attention to detail, friendleness, decor , views and gardens. If want peace and quiet , a relaxing drink on the terrace or a cup of tea in the lounge then this is for you. Granada is a city of steps,... More

I went there from Mexico to celebrate my 15 Anniversary.The place is beautiful but Manuel the owner has real issues. He MAKES you (its not up to you) to leave your key (with your room name printed in it) in a basket where everybody else can see and if they want they can take it. You have to eat breakfast... More

I recently stayed at this hotel and was more than happy with my experience. When I arrived, Manuel met me at my car and carried my belongings down to the hotel, which is in an excellent location! Once at the hotel, he spent about 20-30 minutes with me showing me where the hotel was on the map, where to eat,... More

This is a gem of a place. Perfect location- 10 minutes from the Alhambra. Only 7 very quaint, and spotless rooms. Manuel is a wonderful host. Very charming common rooms, and small honor bar with refrigerator. Can't have asked for more. More

My husband and I spend four nights at this wonderful boutique hotel. If you follow the directions that Manuel gives you and NOT GPS, it isn't too hard to find. It is set high above the city and just a short walk to the Alhambra. The views are amazing. Manuel is the perfect host and his knowledge of the city... More

Carmen de la Alcubilla del Caracol is a remarkable villa hotel. High on the hill which rises to the Alhambra, it has stunning views across Granada to the Sierra Nevada mountains. Our room, which was one of the smaller ones in the villa, was comfortable—especially the bed. The public areas of the hotel and particularly the terraces are delightful, comfortable,... More

Our experience during our honeymoon here was simply top notch, the location was ideal, the service from Manuel significantly improved our experience of the Alhambra and Granada, the rates were very fair for the price, the breakfast was perfect for our needs and the room was beautifully and tastefully appointed. Could not ask for more. More

Chose this guesthouse having read great reviews on Tripadvisor and were so pleased that we had. Having driven down ever narrowing streets trying to find the place, eventually parked outside the Alhambra Palace Hotel and walked down the lane at the far end of the car park. Manuel our genial host kindly drove the car around the amzingly narrow streets... More

We enjoyed every minute of our 2-night stay at this charming B&B. It was very comfortable, squeaky clean, just a few minutes’ walk from the gates of the Alhambra, and the views from most balconies overlooked Granada. Each evening we enjoyed the sunset and was entertained while watching a hawk dive for dinner (bats) unsuccessfully. Manuel is the perfect host... More
