Stayed here for two nights in November. 2024, really liked it, room on the 4th floor was a little bit more dated than the room on the second floor, which was beautifully appointed. Overall a very convenient place to stay, about 20 minutes. Walk two the center of town with tons of shopping and dining opportunities. Highly recommend, would stay again.

Great location - walking distance to beach, restaurants, old city, museum, and fortress. Beds are very comfy and AC is excellent. Lovely rooftop garden to watch the sun set in the evening. Breakfast is top rate - perfect coffee with hot milk, warm freshly-baked rolls and croissants, freshly squeezed orange juice, granola, and yoghurt.

Was an amazing short stay.
Easy to rach from the airport or the city center and the beach is a 3 minute walk away. The next bus stop is 1/2 minute away :-)
Staff/owners are very helpful and the breakfast is lovely.

Great location, and a cozy and medium sized hotel. 30 minutes walk to old town, but the bus stops just outside the front door, and cost 1.4€
2 minutes walk to the beach, which is also great.
Friendly staff, and a plated breakfast.
Highly recommended

Quick one night stop over before catching flight home next day. Lovely friendly reception, but you need to let them know before arriving if you need parking. Don't assume there will be room when you arrive. We were fortunate. Room very large and clean and lovely modern bathroom.

This was just a two night stay following a trip to Granada that left us close to the airport.
The Hotel is 5 minutes from the beach and about a 30 minute pleasant walk to the Cathedral and town centre.
Hotel was clean and well presented. Staff were helpful and the breakfast excellent.
All-in-all a pleasant stay.

Absolutly perfect
Everything was perfect! The room was extra clean, confortable, nice view. There is no balcony but good windows you can open. There are two terrasses , one rooftop with view of ocean. The hotel us well located near beach and old town by walking. It was quiet, I appreciated everything in that hotel. The ambiance is agreable. It is a family project. So they care.
We have complete breakfast served at the table for afordable amount. I will go back for sure. I felt good all 9 days i stayed. The pictures are the same as the hotel.
