The property, room, bathroom, sheets, and towels were very clean. The staff is super helpful, and the property is amazing, as expected. My only suggestion would be to remove the rugs in the room, as they are not needed and look old, and to clean the fabric sofas in the rooms more thoroughly to ensure everything is impeccable.

Lovely hotel, beautifully located and extremely calm, quiet and relaxing. Obviously perfectly situated for visiting the Alhambra. Easy to walk down the hill into town, and you can walk back or take a taxi. (They're easy to find and inexpensive.) In late March, the hotel cafe wasn't busy and felt strangely empty in the evenings, but this adds to the peacefulness. This isn't a 5 star hotel but the historical building and its location makes it unique.

We slept very well in this Parador. We got a stylish, comfortable standard room on the 3rd floor for one night, and it was very pleasant. I removed one star because I did send a list of questions through the Hotels.com website and never received any reply. We finally had to call to get the necessary information. Once in the hotel, all the receptionists were very pleasant and answered all our questions. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel and food (and drinks) were at a good level. Plenty of choice for breakfast and some vegetarian options at dinner.

Fabulous historical property in the middle of the Alhambra complex. It is absolutely worth the cost of staying here. The rooms are modern and comfortable and the hotel itself is an historic and interesting property. Hotel staff - especially Felix on reception - most helpful. It's an easy walk down into town (taxi back up!). Dinner was very good. The cafe gets crowded with drop-in clients from outside the hotel, the staff are a bit over-worked but it's a lovely spot to sit and take a break from the amazing Alhambra and Generalife.

I don’t recommend to the folks who spent a lot of money, time and effort to come from oversees. If you are a tourist, I’d recommend you to book the hotel at the town. This hotel does have a cafeteria/restaurant space but the menu is not delectable.
Also, you have to walk long distance or taxi to get the closest cafe or restaurant with limited numbers of restaurants and stores with limited business hours.

If you want to have a good time in Granada, I’d recommend to stay at local hotels in near downtown so that you’ll find so many options of tapas restaurants, cafes, gelato, souvenir shops and other local shops. Centro area (downtown) 6 minutes away from the parador has so much more to offer you (highly recommend!)

On the other hand, the staff member at the parador, sadly to say that I’d have give them 1 star for their service and professionalism. There were two staff members at the front counter when we arrived. Four of us drove from Cadiz so it was a good 3 hours drive and we were tired but excited for staying at world famous place…… however, both of the staff members completely ignored us for couple of minutes, one of them weren’t helping customers but just looking at the computer screen in front of us.
There were no smile, no greeting, no warm welcoming, no clear explanations about the facility, no portering our luggage (we carried ourselves to the hotel room), just careless and ignorance.
The parador offered the worst hotel service we’ve ever had. Don’t stay at here.

The main thing this hotel offers is its location. Other than that it was underwhelming. We stayed at similarly priced hotels in other Spanish cities and there was such a big difference. Every hotel has had cold water available for guests in the reception area, not here. There was no one to help us with our bags when we arrived. The breakfast was inferior in their offerings as compared to other hotels. I don’t think it’s worth the money.

Staying on the grounds of the Alhambra is a special experience. Not only do you have immediate access to touring the Alhambra, once the tourists depart for the day, you get to live among the Moorish palaces and gardens. The restaurant was excellent, as was the terrace care, where a drink at sunset provides an amazing view of the Generalife. Walking into town takes about 10 min. through the park.

Staying in the Alhambra was a treat. Our room was lovely and comfortable, even though our window looked out onto an undecorated rooftop. Beyond was a beautiful view of the hillside so I shouldn't complain. It could've been a little better if they had a couple of plants or something on said rooftop rooftop. Staff was helpful and friendly, in spite of language differences. Cocktails on the terrace were very nice. Gardens were about to bloom and were very well tended. You can't beat the location; we walked just a few steps to the Generalife entrance! Our only disappointment is the lack of availability of information about the Alhambra experience. We especially were disappointed that there were no audio guides available anywhere at the site and we had to rely on downloaded audio guides from the Internet, which were not great due to dreadful connectivity issues. So my advice is to provide info regarding the site and referral to on-line guides or some such. Otherwise can be very frustrating when you see tour groups go by with guides that are providing need information. We would have arranged this in advance had we known.

Good, but building work was going on

Fabulous location, with a steep walk up or taxi ride. A bit strange that tourists are wandering round in the front garden so can look into some rooms during the day, but not a problem at night. The more expensive rooms have a better view out of the back. Rooms seem a good size. Our stay was spoilt by lots of building work going on around the grounds. Breakfast room was a bit soulless. Shame the courtyard was full of workmen. The food was tasty & they had a good 39 Euro menu.

The property is unique on the location and the history and the design of the building itself. However, I wish the hotel should work with the Alhambra and provide access to all areas when customers study in the hotel. For the price of the hotel charge compared with the tickets for all entrance fee of the site it should be easy and I don't think any guess would complain about the additional cost on top of the hotel fee for the convenience.

The Hotel is very expensive for what was provided. The breakfast was very basic, limited food at the cafe and with such a beautiful outlook at the cafe it would be great to have heaters so you could enjoy the atmosphere. As it is so cold and limited food options you are forced to go into Granada unless you want to wait for the restaurant that doesn’t open until 8.30pm…..with such a large price tag it would be helpful for the hotel to organise the Alhambra tickets as many visitors were unable to gain access and were staying at the Parador for that very reason. So while it’s very peaceful and beautiful it’s not value for money.
