“Nice hotel but impossible to find”

Call the hotel for detailed instruction on how to find it because traditional maps or even web based maps, such as Mapquest or Google Maps, won't tell you about the big construction in the area. It is practically impossible to locate this hotel without local knowledge. They should have detailed instructions on their web site regarding these detours but they don't.

“Great hotel but hard to get to”

The hotel was great finding it was a nightmare with one way streets, construction and an after dark arrival. Make sure you have a GPS, this experienced convinced me that GPS are worth every cent. The hotel was fanstatic and the service second to none.

“Very happy”

Hotel is quite modern with large comfortable room. Public areas best described as adequate rather than glitzy. Service good, especially in the coffee shop/bar. Hotel is in the heart of the commercial district, able to walk to cathedral (10-15 mins) and then collect little bus up to Alhambra. Note that to reach the hotel from the main motorway you travel about 10 mins on urban motorway, and then the hotel is only about another 300 metres. But may be difficult to find in maze of one way streets, at present exacerbated by major city-centre roadworks. SatNav recommended!

“Fine hotel”

Great hotel and a fantastic breakfast. Extra Parking charges were steep.

“Very good large hotel”

Alhamar is a large hotel but with a bit of Andalucian flavor. Rooms are very modern and clean. Efficient check in/out, good cafe. A bit far to walk to most of the attractions (6 euro taxi)but easy to find. Good hotel.

“Very comfortable”

We are walkers. It is a 25 minute walk to the train station. Just about everything else: old town, cathedral, 'modern' city, alhambra; is quite close to the hotel. Public bus to get to Alhambra is recommended for going to Alhambra. You can enjoy the sights walking down hill on return. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and quiet. The included breakfast was full and well organized. They have free baggage storage after checkout time. You can keep your room for a late afternoon checkout for a reasonable fee. English language (western)TV was provided.

“M.A. Alhamar Hotel Granada - Customer rating”

In our opinion not 4* but more like 3* at most. On arrival around 7p.m. on 22/05/12 room allocated had stench of cigarette smoke and we were moved to room 202 which was dreadful (the worst we have ever been to) - the bath had mould around edges and the lighting did not extend to bath area where it was dark. The concierge at the time was not very helpful to make another change to the extent that we offered to pay more for a superior room or suite which he said was also not available. The next morning another helpful concierge moved us to another room which was good. We needed to do an online check in (in English) for the flight back but some pages were in Spanish and there was only one person manning the concierge.Therefore he was not able to provide the help you would expect from a 4* rated hotel while I was on line (time limited) though he helped to print boarding passes out later. However, I make special mention of Mateus at the cafe who was particularly helpful and his colleague. The hotel is used by coach loads and Ok only if your expectations are not proper 4* and probably 3*.
