solar MontesClaros VUT/GR/00051

Nice property

We loved our room and the owner and the property very much! Rey happy during our stay

Clean room, Antonio, the host, was very attentive and gave us clues for walking around Albaicin. Plenty of restaurants in the area and close to Alambra.

Buena

El lugar es mágico! Me encantó el cuarto y la hermosa decoración. Todo funcionó sin problema y algo que para mí es imprescindible como lo es el secador de cabello, tienen uno de excelente calidad y velocidad, a diferencia de muchos hoteles en donde me he quedado. Está cercano a todos los posibles lugares del Albaycin y me encantó caminar todo el lugar con mi hijo, aunque por supuesto hay que estar en buena condición física. Fue una buena idea no llevar carry-on y andar con un bolso colgado a la espalda porque las calles son empedradas. La hospitalidad de Antonio y el apoyo en lo que necesites, es increíble! Me dio el mejor tip dado que no tenía entradas para la Alhambra y estaban agotadas hasta dos semanas después. Gracias a él logré conseguir entrada para mi hijo y para mi el Sábado a las 5;00 pm. No lo podía creer!!! Directamente en el Patronato que son las oficiales sin tener que pagar el exceso de los revendedores. Agradecida infinitamente porque estar en Granada y no ir a la Alhambra, es venirse sin haber descubierto el tesoro. La vista desde la habitación no tiene precio. Había leído un comentario de que había problemas con el agua caliente pero no es cierto. El agua es riquísima, abundante y puedes colocarla a la temperatura que desees. Definitivamente, si regreso alguna vez a Granada, me quedaría en El Solar De MontesClaros! Que Dios bendiga a lugares como estos que más que una habitación te dan una experiencia 🙏

Amazing view , very clean and the owner was extremely helpful , great location easy to get around.

My husband appreciated the authentic feel of the hotel more than I did. It did take you back to how it must have been in the olden days. It had all the necessities. The patio area was special. My preference leans towards more modernity. The location was pretty good with access to the Alhambra and city center within 15 minutes. I would only recommend this place if you are in good physical condition. The in itself has stairs and of course the road has no car access so you will be carrying your luggage up some steps and incline. Overall recommend if you are looking for an authentic experience. The area is also more peaceful than city center.

We LOVED Solar MontesClaros! What a beautiful, unique stay! I always read the best reviews and worst reviews of a place before booking, and I can honestly say that any criticism of MontesClaros is unwarranted. Everything was so comfortable and I slept like a dream while there. Antonio was a perfect, gracious host. Unless you have mobility issues, I would not hesitate to book a room here. If we are ever lucky enough to come to Granada again, we will most definitely stay here again!

Excellent stay, great location, close to flamenco venues and good walks through the cobbled streets of Albaicín. Restaurants are also within walking distance. Fantastic views of the Alhambra. Recommend wearing sturdy footwear for walking along the steep cobbled streets.

Antonio was the best host.

The staff were extremely personable and helpful. Lots of spiral stairs and the area was hilly.

I had a room with a view directly across at the Alhambra. I actually preferred my view to that of St Nicolas Square, without the hassle of the crowd. Host was very helpful and welcoming. Bus 34 stopped just 100 meters from the front door, easiest way into town center and back up the hill. Bus 32 stops 150 meters away and loops directly to Alhambra.

Great view of the alambra. Very quiet and peaceful location.

Small boutique inn up on the hill directly opposite of the Alhambra. We enjoyed the long walks up from the commercial center below (some sections were very narrow and barely passable by cars). The WIFI was so slow we could not even upload emails most days, let alone pull up a webpage, and this was the only negative aspect of our stay.

disappointed..hotel got great ratings, but..not a hotel, a room rental..great view, but very tight quarters..problems with a/c, lighting, noise, hard bed..steep climb up uneven alley with dog and horse crap strewed about..dog barking problem..relatively far from old town shopping/tourism..steep hills..tiring walking..the single staffer was very nice but helpless to solve problems..would certainly not stay here again..too bad

Superbly located for The Alhambra Palace and the winding local streets that are full of bars and restaurants. Owner was also very friendly and helpful. Wi-fi worked well. We had the downstairs room which was full of character, it had stairs up to the terrace (which was a pleasant place to pass time) but unfortunately had a mirror halfway up the stairs which allowed a view into our room from the terrace and as our room had no blinds/curtains we were unable to block it off. Overall, not quite sure how it is rated quite as highly as it is on TA but it is a pleasant place and we were happy enough with our stay.

Absolutely LOVED this place. If B&Bs, staying amongst the locals, and having AMAZING service from Antonio and his staff are your thing, stay here!! Beautiful view of the Alhambra as well.

We were met on the street at the time we had arranged. The location was unique. We climbed up a steep street and stairs to find a beautiful room and terrace with a view of the Alhambra.

This place would be 5 stars all the way except for two issues: 1. At night, my room on the top floor had a strong smell of sewage; and 2. The house is up a steep walkway, and the rooms are then up a spiral stair case and up to two more flights of stairs. I should have packed a smaller bag. The gentleman working there was helpful, but with multiple people checking in, it was difficult to get the bags upstairs, and there was no one to help bring them down in the morning. Otherwise, the house is lovely, the rooms are beautifully decorated, and the view of the Alhambra can't be beat.

This is a hard review for me to write after seeing 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor (we booked on Expedia). And, I don't want to come off as a snobby traveler - but I feel a need to share our experience. First, no question, if a view to see the Alhambra (especially at night) is important -- this is the place to be. But beyond that, this was little more than a 3-star European inn (and an expensive one at that). We have stayed in many four and five star properties (and I am not speaking of the Ritz-style hotels that cost hundreds per-night). Here is why I only give the hotel 3-stars. Our rooms were small. The air conditioning was weak (almost useless) and thank goodness there were no mosquitoes because we slept with the windows open. On two mornings there was no real hot water for the showers. The hotel charges 6E extra per-person for breakfast and it was suggested we go down to the small cafe down the street. We did see someone eating breakfast and frankly it looked meager (Though someone was squeezing fresh orange juice). Lots of little issues that are not serious ... but not worthy of a 5-star rating. For example, in typical style, you need to insert the plastic card into a slot to turn on the room lights. Only problem is the card is attached to the keys needed to lock your room door. We used cell phone lights at night to see the key hole. Our toilet was truly a closet and on a few days there was a smell (from the plumbing) that required us air out the room
