Palacio de Santa Inés hotel
The room was generously sized and the view of the Alhambra was absolutely spectacular!! The location in the old city was great and very conveniently located. There were plenty of restaurants in the surrounding area, and the little red buses were convenient to take around town and up to the Alhambra. ...

Hotel Rosa D´Oro
Beautiful location. Very friendly check in staff. A bit disappointed in our room. View to the Alhambra was limited by the windowed structure on the balcony which was not in any of the room photos when booking. Quite loud street noise and the bathroom is a bit worn (broken floor tile).
