Shine Albayzin - Granada

The hotel is in a fabulous location in Granada within walking distance to the Al Hambra and lots of nice restaurants and bars. The room we had was huge and very well equipped, clean and very stylish. A nice touch of providing an espresso machine in reception that you can help yourself to. The girls on reception were also incredibly helpful and there are umbrellas you can borrow just in case which is also a nice touch. The hotel is an old building with lots of original features like beuatiful wooden ceilings, but has modern interiors that are very sleek and stylish - a nice combination. We would go back again in a heatrbeat.

I should have contacted the hotel direct for directions as we got very lost. Ensure you have a good map as the directions you get from googlemaps or something similar send you down roads you cannot drive down so ensure you have a full street map of Granada and watch out for the roads that cars are not premitted on!

location and stylishness ( although decor seems to have been privileged over functionality)

room for improvement: a bit more warmth from the staff at reception - they could provide more information and foreign language skills

Gorgeous Place. Well designed and renovated. Beautiful room, though could use a bit more art on the walls.

No one at this hotel spoke English, but it is worth the stay. It is a bit hard to find, since the sign on the building is almost non-exstant. There is no parking or even standing right in front of the hotel. If felt like a secret hideaway. There are also no bathtubs, only showers. We had a baby, who only takes baths, but otherwise, we loved it.

hotel in a terrible narrow road side, cannot park car for picking up suitcase even in 1 minute, although many strange people around the area. The hotel put us in wrong room, after complient, they return us to a nice suite which we original booked. No hairdryer, no cup in the room, you need to go to the lobby for everying, but morning staff (a senior elegance man should be the owner) could not speak english. You cannot wear sacks and walk on the floor in the room, it will become black.

Great central location in Granada city centre, but still a very quiet area - easy 15 min walk to the Alhambra and all the sites.

Hot water ran out too quickly.

a nice clean hotel with an excellent position.

Given twin beds when a double was asked for. Parking is a nightmare. Had a room downstairs next to reception, booked the hotel for the ambiance which didnt happen,

The location is great and the hotel was beautiful!

Small size hotel and helpful staff. All very new. Good location.

No breakfast facilities, but this will change when a restaurant is going to open on the ground floor over the next few months. Shower box didn't have something to place the gel or shampoo on, nor hair dryer. My window looked over the patio, so it was pretty dark.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The views of the room were amazing. The room was very new, clean and modern. It was as I imagined by the pictures (we stayed in a superior room). There is not hair drier in the room but you can ask for one at the reception

The hotel doesn´t have bar service. The bathroom was a bit cold. It is not possible to park the car close to the hotel.

Location was near Alhambra. Staff was very helpful and recommended many places to see and restaurants to us.

Room was quite disappointing compared to the pictures here. It was an old building and hot water didn't work so well. The room we were in had a shower in the middle with see through glass! Lack of privacy was an issue since I was traveling with friends.

The location was amazing- we had a view of the Alhambra from our balcony! The room was very nice and quite comfortable. One of my favorite hotels we stayed at in Spain.

Perfect location, very efficient and kind staff. They anwered all opur questions and helped us booking events even in our next town Granada. We could see the wall of the Mesquita from our window across the street.

The pipes are a little noisy and the walls too thin as in almost all the hotels we stood in Spain.

Good situation for restaurants in the Albayzin district with views of the Alhambra.

A short walk to the 24 hour car park with just overnight baggage, but with suitcases and hot weather it would be better to drop luggage at the hotel (and quickly since the street is one-car width).

Tranquil, cool, great mix of modern and traditional decor. Large room (suite), simply but well furnished.

Lack of outside space such as a balcony or patio

The location was great.

There was no way of driving to the hotel which in itself is fine if you are given some information re this prior to arrival with directions to the closest parking. We wasted a huge amount of time trying to get to the hotel. We booked a room overlooking the inner patio and the room itself was nice ito furnishings however it's pitch dark in the room with absolutely no air flow which makes you feel very claustrophobic and leaves you dying to get out of the room & hotel which was a shame. The staff weren't particularly helpful or friendly. If location is your only criteria - great. If you want anything more, I'd say look elsewhere.
