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.

Amazing location next to the Alhambra! Expensive considering lack of amenities (eg, no pool or spa)

Historic parador on the grounds of the Alhambra. Currently there is some construction. Breakfast service was under-staffed. Room lighting is fickle. Front desk is excellent. I recommend the historical menu at the restaurant

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.

Great. Just wish we had a TV news channel in English.

Beautiful and peaceful hotel set in a garden.

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.

Great pl aclll No

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.

The grounds of the hotel are beautiful.

A glorious stay perfect in every way

Nice environment

The Alhambra was the highlight of our trip. Staying inside the walls just added to the magic!

Fabulous location right next to the Alhambra.

Such a beautiful location right next to the exquisite Alhambra. Beautiful room with a view of the generalife. What a remarkable site.

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.

Overpriced, old rooms, bad food

Clean room. A bit of renovation noise.

Was inside of the Alhambra and very easy to walk into town. Historical beautiful building with lovely outdoor spaces.

Excellent hotel. Amazing views of the Alhambra
