“Lovely and relaxing tourist apartment”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

This is a lovely little hotel and it is very quiet. It resembles a tiny traditional Spanish village of aparments, and it is situated on the edge of town in a gated secure area. The grounds are very clean and nicely looked after. Access to it is not difficult, but using GPS to navigate to it is frustrating. There is currently a lot of ongoing construction around town, including around the hotel, and a GPS device will constantly give wrong directions, suggesting to take roundabouts or roads that don't even exist. There is a nice little pool area which is very relaxing after an arduous climb around the Alhambra, and the hotel seems mostly vacant even in August. The hotel has its own underground garage, which costs 8 euros per day, although almost no-one seems to use it and the charge seems unwarranted. The problem is that although there are public parking spots around, they are nearly always full, so the garage ends up being required. Due to its orientation, it is very challenging to go up and down it with a mid-sized car without scraping (only attempt if you are skillful), although once underground, it's not hard to park. Reception is closed over the weekend, so it is necessary to call a girl and arrange pick up of the key; this was not a real problem, as although she speaks limited English, she is very responsive and is easily reachable by e-mail or cell phone. We were given good practical information on how to visit the main sights, including maps. The hotel seems to run on autopilot even with reception not being present. The room itself is quite nice, although the furniture is rather basic and not super-modern. There is the option to have a double bed or two single beds. The kitchenette is very well equipped, although there is no oven (but there is a microwave). There is event a front-load washing machine, but you need to buy your own detergent. The TV is tiny and useless and was a real shame; it's not the 1950's. The beds are OK but the pillows are very firm. All the rooms have slightly insufficient lighting. The Wi-Fi is reasonably fast and reliable, which was appreciated after experiencing much trouble in other, bigger Spanish hotels. The A/C is very efficient (perhaps too much). One problem is that the towels and sheets are not changed every day; there was also no hot water one morning, but it was quickly fixed. The hotel does not have a bar (that is open, at least), but there are several tapas bars withing a short walk away that are very popular, with a big crowd on the weekend. A Carrefour supermarket is a short drive away. Overall, we were happy with this choice and would recommend it.

Room Tip: The hotel has same-sized rooms with a choice of a double bed, or separate twin beds. Some rooms appe...

“Very noisy apartments, paper thin sound proofing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2011

The people running the place are extremely nice and helpful. The place is clean. We had 2 good nights as we had no one staying next door. Then a group of youngsters came in and for 2 nights we could not go to sleep before 3am in the morning due to extremely loud noises ranging from screams to loud bangs. It also does not help that all floors are tiled and all furniture has iron legs so you just have to drag a chair upstairs to disturb people downstairs(that's us!) So we had a two-fold noise problem:upstairs and to the side of our rooms. We did complain after the first night, were told it wouldn't happen again but it did and it only stopped because they left! It did affect our holiday but we were not offered any compensation or proper apologies. It is also far away from the centre and if you have to take the bus, the travelling is very tiring as Granada is one huge building site at the moment due to a new metro system being built. The apartments are being advertised as QUIET which they can NEVER BE due to their construction.

“feeling at home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2010

In a nice quiet location, this aparthotel is the ideal place to stay a few days in granada, with the comfort of a hotel and the feeling of being home. Clean, spatious, quiet. The compund is tended by a middle age couple efficient and kind; they make you feel home. Nice garden with pleasant aroma of flowers, a nice and clean pool. The apartments with one or two rooms in addition to living room, kitchen and bathroom well equipped. The air conditioning good, indispensable in day time. At night it is a pleasure to sleep with open windows.

“Good base to visit Granada for a family”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2007
4
people found this review helpful

A bit hard to find. Look closely at the end of a street/alley on your right off the main boulevard.

Once you find it, there is a lovely pool and garden inside. The rooms are clean and very convenient with plenty of cooking ware and washing appliances.

There is a nice feel to the place and the owner speaks Spanish and some German. No English however.

I suggest taking cabs to get into Granada. The cost is about 10 Euro. Well worth the money. Parking and the hassle of finding your way is worth every penny (or is it peso or centivo or cent or...).

Thanks for a nice stay. Beautiful city.
