Located close to The Alhambra, Hotel Albero is exactly what a travellers hotel should be; clean, simple, good breakfast and welcoming staff. I enjoyed my two days there immensely

The hotel is in a good position. We found it easily and is on two good bus routes for the centre of town and the Alhambra. Three are cafes and a lovely restaurant close by. The owner was very helpful and went out of his way to give advice. We would certainly stay here again

Good for the price
The hotel is pretty close to Alhambra palace and the bus passes right in front of it. Rooms are clean and comfortable and have a mini fridge -something not common in Spain-. It also has a underground parking lot for about 7 euros per night.

Absolutely Wonderful Hotel Right Next to Alhambra
You absolutely cannot beat the combination of this hotel’s location, price, quality of the rooms, and hospitality. First off, it’s situated in an excellent location, about a 3 minute drive from the Alhambra. Secondly, the rates are extremely affordable for the quality of the room you get. Ours was an excellent, up-to-date room with an incredible bed. The bed was so comfortable that I’m looking into trying to purchase one. Finally, the hospitality and attention you get is unbeatable. The owner and staff are unbelievably nice and helpful. They immediately helped us with any questions we had about the city, bus routes, attractions, etc. They really do treat you like family. They also provide a delicious, little breakfast every morning for about $2 euros. Parking is available outside but if it’s full, they also have a parking garage available for $5 euros a day. This was our favorite stay in our entire 14-day trip in Spain. I cannot recommend Hotel Albero enough. We definitely will be returning to Granada and when we do, we absolutely will be staying with our friends in Hotel Albero.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. The room was small but comfortable. And the best...it had a balcony. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The owner arranged for us to have a mini bar in the room. There was private parking. The bus stop was close by. There was a restaurant close by. We enjoyed our stay.

Unassumingly Clean And Great Customer Service
From the moment after arriving you feel welcomed by Pepe and the place has a cosy feeling. We were surprised it was a 1 star rating and didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The staff are all very helpful. You take bus 33 from the bus station to the hotel and when going into town right near the hotel. To go to Alhambra take bus 13 from infront of the hospital

Overall a good hotel, some staff members don't have great English but usually those working during the day are quite good. Room was comfortable with great air-conditioning. The location let this place down, it's fine if you have a car which we did, but it is quite far from Granada - there is free on street parking surrounding the hotel, and we managed to get a spot each time but it is quite busy. There is a local bus service that stops a short distance from the hotel, but we didn't use the bus service. Also quite close to a large shopping mall which was convenient.

Great little hotel
This was the perfect hotel to stay at when visiting Granada. The location of the hotel is perfect, close enough to everything without being in the middle of the city center. They offered parking which we needed as we had rented a car. The staff was very friendly and offered tons of great advise. We purchased a flamenco show through them and I am so glad we did. What a great experience! We will definitely return and stay here again.

The hotel is a 40 min walk from the cathedral or a bus ride. There are slopes but we managed to do it pushing our 2-yo daughter in her stroller. The walk coming back from the Alhambra offers wonderful views of the city, especially during the sunset. There are no dining options nearby, so if you need dinner you have to order delivery (we did it one night and it was really good). There are no options nearby for breakfast either and the breakfast from the hotel is a bit pricey: 3,80 euros for coffee, oj, toast and croissant.

Fariy clean and big room, owner was nice to give us tip for Granada tour, with even Map. Location was good if you are planning to go to Alhambra, but other places are kinda of far. Besides, we had to spend lots of time on the bus, fairly nice hotel.

Great hotel excellent for City & Alhambra's Palace
Very comfortable, clean, friendly Hotel. Reasonably priced rooms ideal for sightseeing. Location is perfect for visiting both City and Alhambra's Palace.  Continental breakfast enjoyable including Toast, Croissant, Pate, Jam, Yogurt, tea, coffee and orange juice. Will definitely recommend to friends and Family. Excellent restaurant pub (Albanta) only 100 yards from hotel. The restaurant is on the first floor with pub on the ground floor. Visited 2 evenings and thoroughly enjoyed food, surroundings, service and friendly staff. The hotel staff provided all local information, regarding maps, bus time tables. The journey into the city was about 10 minutes and to Alhambra's Palace was only 5 minutes, if feeling strenuous you could walk the hill in about 15 minutes. Although recommend the bus as we walked 12 miles just around the palace and gardens so whole day is needed to appreciate

Very comfortable and friendly staff
We knew that the hotel was out of the city centre and chose it for that reason as we had a car and needed to park it without inner-city issues. There were no vacancies on the street when we arrived yet the staff moved her car to give us her spot. How lovely was that? We left the car there for the 3 days we were in Granada and took public transit, 2 blocks away from the hotel direct into the centre. Perfect each way. We didn't partake in the 3,80 euro breakfast as we were told it was coffee and sweet breads. Instead we went the cafe around the corner and had spanish tortilla (egg omelette with potatoes, large enough to feed two people) and coffee. Best breakfast around, but you got to get there early! I highly recommend this hotel if you don't want to/can't stay in the centre for whatever reason.

Hotel Albero
The hotel is very nice and clean and the people friendly. It is close to the Alhambra but a bit far for walking. It is close to the SN1 bus route from the bus station in town and the C7 bus that goes to the Alhambra. There are some nice restaurants a few minutes walking from there.

Alhambra well worth visiting
Enjoyed stay. Nice hotel, bit further out than expected but local bus SN1 to city centre & Alhambra.(C7)We enjoy walking & walked into the town centre bout 35 mins. Also walked to the Alhambra. Took about 30mins but it is all up hill. The hotel is in quiet area, well looked after & staff were friendly. Clean towels every day. Not much around the area but we just used the hotel as a base & were out most of the 3 days we were there. Enjoyed visiting the Alhambra. Gardens lovely & palaces very interesting. Well worth the money. We were unable to get tickets in advance but hotel was able to get us tickets so we could visit palace. The SN1 goes to the bus station which was very handy as we were getting a bus from there to Malaga. Buses bout every 15mins & ticket 1 euro 20 cents per journey so very good value.

Well-run, value hotel , family owned and run.
We had difficulty finding the hotel because our GPS did not register the address. Finally I phoned the owner, who speaks good English. He gave me an alternative address that works in the GPS, and we easily came to our destination. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO END UP IN GPS HELL, USE THIS ADDRESS: 1, Mirador de Genil. As we arrived late, we got a noisy room overlooking busy traffic. The next day we were moved to an excellent room, comfortable and quiet. This hotel is ideal for visiting the Alhambra, which is a short bus ride away. To get to the centre of Granada, we took taxis, which cost around 6 euros.

helpful staff at good value hotel
The hotel is in a quiet location, just outside Granada, on a bus route into central Granada (10 minutes) and the Alhambra (10 minutes) We had a large, clean and comfortable room which was very good value for money. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. I had tried to book tickets for the Alhambra online in advance, but found that none were available for at least a month. However the receptionist was able to book them for us for 2 days later, which was wonderful as this was the main reason for our visit to Granada. The hotel provides a basic breakfast, but no evening meal. However, the owner directed us to a restaurant 5 minutes down the road, and we had the menu of the day for 8 euros. The restaurant was full of locals and the food was excellent - the best we had on our trip.

Granada's best kept secret
For budget travellers you do need to search further, especially if you drive. Easy to park on the street or in private parking for 5 Eu, the Albero is about 30 min easy walk to old city or to Alhambra or direct buses stop close to the hotel to. Spotless clean, intimate and family athmosfere but the best asset is the staff who's going above and beyond their duty to make your stay a memorable one. Ask for their discount tickets to the gitano flamenco show for an excellent evening (bus in and out from Albero and guided walking tour in Albayzin by night).
