The apartment was easy to check in with self check- in. It was clean and had the basics but felt a bit crowded for 3 people. Close to what we wanted to see (5minutes walk to flamenco show and we also walked 25minutes to the Alahambra). The host provided much information about restaurants and excursions in the area and provided info regarding parking and general transportation which was helpful. Not easily accessible if one has mobility issues due to the hills and bumping roads (but most parts of Granada are challenging I would imagine). This apartment was generally good value for the price if you are just looking for a place to sleep.

Need access info before arrival.
Access codes and parking options would be nice to have ahead via direct email or text rather than through Hotels.com site. We did find them on hotel.com but only after arriving. The apartment was nice, comfortable, but thin walls made it a bit noisy. Bare necessities in the bathroom. Laundry facilities were a plus and part of the reason we selected this property.

Don't be deceived by the positive reviews
Don't be deceived by the positive reviews. Our experience at the property was far from pleasant. Upon arrival, there was no receptionist available, and we had to search for codes in the email just to enter the property. The moment we stepped into the room, an unpleasant smell of smoke or mold hit us, triggering my sensitivity and causing constant coughing. Furthermore, everything in the room appeared old and worn-out, and to add to the discomfort, there was no curtain on the window, leaving us with no privacy. Attempts to contact the owner for resolution proved fruitless as we received no response. In desperation, I reached out to hotels.com to explore the possibility of changing the room or canceling the reservation. Sadly, we were informed that the booking was non-refundable. Left with no choice, we had to book another hotel, resulting in the loss of our two-night accommodation costs. It was a disappointing and regrettable experience overall.

The property was conveniently located near the Alhambra and some restaurants in the area. The staff were lovely. the challenge if you have car is that you have to park a few blocks away and access in the car to the property is difficult as you have to drive up a very narrow one way street, unload your luggage, then back out of the street to go park the car. The facility was spotless and very pretty.

Great price, great location!
Room was small but had EVERYTHING -- kitchen sink, fridge and clothes washer, along with the standard bed and private bathroom. Much thought obviously went into design and décor -- it was delightful. You can base here quite comfortably while seeing Granada. Owners were very helpful with pre-stay emails, welcomes, and orientation to the area. Great location -- walking distance to not only the Alhambra, but a block from a great town plaza with a park and many restaurants. Parking is extra, an couple of blocks away. Be aware it's located on a 1-lane no-outlet street, with no way to turn around. You'll drive up to the door, then reverse about 100 yards to get back to the main street -- at least, that's what we did. Not a problem, just something to be aware of.

Utilitarian but cute and in a great location
Golondrinas is a cute and serviceable apartment-hotel hybrid. They offer contained bed-couch-kitchenette rooms, with a thoughtful set of cooking utensils and materials - even salt, petter, oil, and sugar. The beds are not the most comfortable (our room had a metal frame murphy bed) but they work, and for the price Golondrinas is a good deal. It's also on a really cute little street just north of a lovely square with delightful restaurants, and while it's quick walk to most of the tourist destinations, it feels like you are experiencing life like a local. The one issue we had was while checking in - check in is supposed to start at 5pm, but no one was there. There was a sign that said to call a number, but because we were visiting internationally, we had no cell service and had to take a bit of a walk to find wifi and then call the number. Once we got in touch the host was not too accommodating and refused to show up for about an hour, though they did give us the key code to get in. Once we finally met someone in person they were nice and helpful. Overall, we'd recommend Golondrinas for a thrifty traveler.

Stay away if you are driving
Its a very difficult hotel to find, going down very narrow one way streets. Check in boy was very unhelpful. He did not speak even one word of English & couldn't direct us to a parking location. There are NO parking facilities in the immediate area & the traffic is hectic down very narrow roads. We didn't even get to check in as we were too stressed out driving around trying to find a safe parking spot. We had to find alternative accommodation for the night. It was a disaster for us.

Not comfortable at Golondrinas at Alhambra
stay on the top floor. The roof is inclined not flat. Hot is not working from 20:00 to 08:00. After 08:00 it works. No elevator, need to carrier baggage and walk up 4 stories. Hotel inside a small alley. Hotel people tell to drive on stair case in order to give way to car behind. AFter one wheel down one step I refused to carrier on. Luckily, I can manage to get my car back on the road from stair case.

Great Location But Not The Room That We Booked
The listing on hotels.com is misleading or falsely advertised. We booked the studio with a city view (top floor) but ended up with the bottom floor studio just like another reviewer in May experienced. The hotel manager said it was an issue with hotels.com and that they would fix it. But seeing as the similar review is from May, I'm skeptical. Other than that, the apartment is conveniently located and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We recommend that the staff update the towels as they are quite old and also look into making sure the shower drains are unclogged.

Very isolated location. Pebbled street not very good for suitcases with rollers. Golondrinas de la Alhambra is located in a cup de sac somehow difficult for taxis to get to. There is no good reception and we had to pay cash because the handheld terminal would not accept any card. We received emails apparently not related to this place concerning our booking, which made us think of phishing. The towels smelt very bad. There was lot of humidity in the room, which by the way had no view as shown on the website. We fell ill. Next time we'll stay in a real hotel.

Angry and disappointed
After two weeks in Morocco we knew we would need a little rest and In house food to settle the inevitable Moroccan tummy. We booked the top floor suite with cooking facilities, balcony and city views. This is clear in our booking confirmation. On arrival we were given a small ground floor room with a barred window onto the alley or opening the blind onto the entrance lobby and being like monkeys in a zoo. We explained and showed the forms to the manager but short of moving us to slightly larger room with alley view no joy. When we suggested we could go elsewhere she pointed out that this was a non refundable booking even if we didn't get the accommodation promised. All I can say is be warned. I have not rated the room or experience on anything else than this as it completely ruined our three days in Granada and as we had to eat out made it a lot more expensive and not so restful. They blamed hotels.com and I will be pursuing this on our return as I don't want any more holiday spoilt.

Dear Paul You booked an study with kitchen and bathroom, that is just what we assigned to the check in, as you demanded another, we gave you a one bedroom apartment, with kitchen and bathroom too, bigger than the one you reserved and we also made a discount, with the objective that you were more comfortable. The apartment is very nice, spacious, with views to the street (south orientation) and the "TYPICAL PATIO" entrance courtyard of the house. We are located in the best neighborhood of Granada, next to the Alhambra (better said: within the special protection plan of the Alhambra). Your comments are unfair and they are not true, he has written them with the aim of doing harm. Moreover, the vast majority of people who visit us, rate us with 4 or 5 out of 5. Wishing you many things, see you.

Good value near Alhambra
Bea was a very accommodating host and helped make the stay pleasurable. We arrived much later than expected, but check in was easy. We had a rental vehicle and that is very problematic in Granada - fortunately, Bea hooked us up with a private garage that we used the our two days there. The room was fine and had a mini-kitchen that was very functional. You can walk to Alhambra and historic sites and shopping and food is nearby.

Quiet stay in Granada
These apartments are in a great location on a quiet side street near the Alhambra and a number of excellent restaurants and cafes. There are also a couple of grocery stores nearby, which makes the kitchen in these apartments quite handy. The staff are kind and helpful. Overall, the apartments are clean, if a bit spare. Though there are so many wonderful things to see and experience in Granada no need to spend much time in the hotel room. Word to the wise: If you are planning to visit Granada be sure to get your Alhambra tickets at least a few months in advance!!

nice apartment close to Alhambra
Many thanks to landlady Eva! She was so kind as to let us check out several hours later than noon since our flight was in late evening and on the day morning we had a walk but got lost in the other side of the city! The apartment has code entrance which is quite convenient. Eva sent welcoming text messages before check-in day and on the day sent us the code early enough to let us get ourselves in. All in all we were glad to have chosen this apartment and thanks again to dear Eva.

Excellent value, Beautiful area, Very nice people
The room was large and Ikea fabulous! The bed was situated above an ancient Moorish well, which the hotel was proud to show off. It was neat sleeping above history. The kitchen had everything we needed for a short stay. The location was very close to Alhambra, although it is a seriously steep hike up the hill, but totally walk able if you are in shape. It was very close to the river, old town, town center, and several cool little plazas. The only issue we had was the front desk is not accessible 24 hours. We arrived at 1pm and could not reach anyone to access the room for a few hours. They had actually tried to call my phone the day before to set up a check in time but my phone was not working in Spain, so make sure you give good contact numbers! While this caused a delay getting into the room, the management apologized profusely and was very kind from there out. The people of Granada are amazing and some of the nicest people we met in Spain. Our biggest disappointment was trying to contact hotels.com when we were not able to reach the front desk. We called the 800# 3 times on our other phone, were put on hold for 30 minutes +, and no one ever answered. When we called back, the rep refused to help us and insisted on transferring us back to the dept that was not answering. They did not care that holding was costing us a fortune in international long distance. Finally we got a hold of the front desk and gave up on hotels.com for any help. Hotels.com = useless out of the US!

Lovely place, Value for money
We loved our experience here, but this was a value place (you get what you pay for). It was centrally located between the Alhambra and restaurants. The women who works there was so friendly and welcoming. This being said, the shower head stand was broken so we had to hang it on the window and the bed was rather small (it was a fold down bed). But the place was clean and the wifi was fabulous. It was nice having the amenities of an apartment (e.g. A washer in the room). It was perfect for backpackers looking for a more homey feel than a hostel.

Great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay! I don't know about the other rooms, but our studio was on the top floor and had beautiful views of Granada. It really depends what you like ... my daughter and I loved it! It's not in top condition, but we were ok with that. The location was great and the proprietor was friendly and helpful.

Nice apartment below Alhambra.
This apartment is literally located just below the Alhambra. We just walked up to get to the fortress. Within short walking distance below the apartments is a plaza where there are several bars/restaurants where you can sample Granada's famous free tapas - as long as you order a drink of course. Only spent one night but would definitely stay again. Entrance to the complex and room are by 4 digit codes, each are different from the front door and your apartment. This is given by e-mail before your arrival.
