“Stunning views, excellent service”
Alejandro and Robin made our stay extremely comfortable and ran the guest house exceptionally well, giving lots of local recommendations and tourism advice. The view from the terrazzo was a highlight in itself. Breakfast was continental and prepared fresh and there was also an honesty bar for after dinner. The rooms were extremely clean and the bed was comfortable, AC was reliable and water pressure in the shower was very good. We travelled around Andalusia for my husband’s birthday and this guest house was a personal highlight of mine.

“Stunning place to stay with wonderful views of Granada and some lovely terraces to sit and relax”
The location of the property was excellent - only a short walk to the Alhambra and to the main part of Granada. The lounge areas and room were beautifully styled with amazing views. The area was so peaceful yet close to most things. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

“Excellent hotel! Enjoyed our stay and would book the same location if/when returning to Granada”
Breakfast was simple but sufficient and very fresh and tasty...had all the required nutrients and flavour to tackle the day and get out to explore the beautiful city of Granada. The location offered beautiful views although there is a trek up a number of stairs to get to the hotel it was well worth it and you walk away stronger than when you arrived. Highly recommend this hotel, staff was extremely nice and helpful regarding any/all questions to navigate the city, also providing excellent restaurant recommendations. We also appreciated the privacy offered and the honour system employed at this location regarding drinks that simply required recording what you take from their stock when taken....fruit is free. Special thanks to staff Alejandro, Robin and Confession.

“Highly recommended and located in a beautiful part of Granada”
This hotel was the absolute highlight of our trip to Spain. Surrounded by beautiful villas and within easy walking distance to the Alhambra and a quiet neighbourhood of good restaurants. We are in our 60’s and the steps to get down to the main centre were not a problem. We had a standard double room with a beautiful terrace overlooking the most amazing view of Granada. Breakfast was served on another lovely terrace overlooking the city. Our host Alejandro was always available for a chat or any helpful advice. We highly recommend.
