The advice about the security arrangements was carefully given, but it did worry me that if I stayed out after 10pm, I might not have been able to open the main door and enter. This was my inadequacy, but it did stop me staying out beyond 10 pm.

I like the hotel ambiance - regardless of its wonderful position on theAlhambra hill, it is an interesting, almost homely place - rather un hotel like.

The staff were so lovely and helpful. Our stay at Hotel America was fantastic. Our room had everything we needed, and we enjoyed breakfast there each morning. To be able to stay within the Alhambra complex was incredible.

We did not get the room with the terrace that we had booked, which was disappointing, but it certainly did not ruin our stay

Hotel is perfectly located in the Alhambra giving easy access to sites and allowing you to stroll around the complex in the evening. true authentic Spanish vibe. owner was great and very welcoming. covered terrace was a fantastic place to eat and relax. Staff were FANTASTIC in giving options for places to eat as well as routes to follow for the best experiance of the city

Need to let them know if you can’t do the stairs.

Cute, quaint place. Staff were great. Nice restaurant onsite. Fun to be inside the old walls. Lots of steep walking, but worth it.

No elevator; not a lot of eateries to choose from since it’s away central Granada; front desk available from 9am-11 pm

The hotel is a pretty, quaint-looking one within the Alhambra grounds. I had a very nice small balcony (seen in the picture). After a long Alhambra tour, I just walked right back to the hotel (2-3 min walk)!

Best location imaginable for seeing the Alhambra. Kind staff and they are able to get tickets to the Alhambra if you stay two nights or more which was a godsend as we didn’t book it ahead of time.

For the price paid for two nights - Nothing.

Superb location. There are only two hotels in the Alhambra complex, this being one and for the location is exceptional value for money. The room was quite small but OK. The shower was excellent. The breakfast was OK however one can use the dining, breakfast and terrace facilities at the other hotel - A Paradores - that is located very close by.

Parking is actually like a ten minute walk away if you come by car.

Good small property inside the Alhambra. Made it easy to get to our morning tour after staying here one night.

It’s a shame there isn’t some kind of evening food service, but the location trumps this shortcoming.

The location of Hotel América could not be bettered. Perfect for visiting all parts of the Alhambra, and for taking a break between parts of your visit.

Small bed first night , the stress about the rental car parked so far away and difficult to get there . Maybe a point to help guests to send them more info upfront about how to get at the hotel and how it works with the parking tickets they have a nice discount .

Location great on the Alhambra site . To get there with the rental car very stressful . You have to look for the wooden little house ( Klein houten huisje en daar rechts door de slagboom ) And go through the gate there . Very Andalusian style hotel we loved it . First night was rough because the bed was way to small for us Dutch people . We took an upgrade to another room and the bed was a bit bigger so better for us . The staff was very helpful if you ask them questions . Luxery hotel. Very quit at night and super nice atmosphere.

Unless you are opting for buses/taxis, it's quite a steep and lengthy hike from both the nearest car park (we parked at lot 4 of Parkia Alhambra) and also the city centre / cathedral / eateries etc. So if you are not focused on the Alhambra / Generalife, then other locations may be easier. But nevertheless, I would still recommend this small and sweet hotel for a pleasant and unique experience. The only slight negative on this visit is that we returned from the city centre about 11pm on our last night, and could not get the keypad to open to the external door. We were locked out and feared having to sleep in the open air... but after a few minutes of pressing the buzzer, the intercom finally came to life and we were given entry. Phew!

If your main reason for visiting Granada is to see the Alhambra/Generalife (for which reservations are required several weeks in advance), then this is an ideal location for a base. It also means you can easily walk around the area's public spaces after dark, when it is quiet and atmospheric. As for the hotel itself, we had walked past it several times in previous years and this year we decided to stay (4 nights in the room with a balcony): we are glad we did. It is quirky, charming and cosy. I was generally quiet and peaceful when we were there (though obviously this will depend on who the other guests are, especially if you have the balcony room which is above the internal courtyard where meals / drinks are served during the day). We received a very warm welcome from the nice lady on the desk when we arrived, and the staff were generally lovely and helpful throughout the visit. And it was nice to be able to buy a light breakfast on the mornings that we were feeling too lazy to go into town. We would happily stay here again.... in fact, we are planning to!

It's a unique place and well worth the aspects you have to consider: It's a bit isolated. you have to walk up and down the hill or take the bus or taxi to get anywhere in the city. Only one restaurant near by, "Jardines Alberto." A bit pricey but good. TIP: Take bus C32 all the way to Plaza St. Nicolas!

UNIQUE LOCATION! Right inside the Alhambra. Very friendly staff. Quaint interior. Clean and quiet.

Close to the Alhambra, it is located away from the main area of restaurants but there is a reliable and frequent bus that stops fairly nearby which takes about 10 minutes to get to the centre of town.

Traditional and characteristic property with modern conveniences close to the Alhambra. It was great to wander around at night without the crowds and see the buildings illuminated. There was a lovely central courtyard complete with lush plants and ceramics where you could sit and eat. The staff were really helpful, lending us an umbrella, letting us leave our suitcases and calling for a taxi to the station.

Breakfast could have been a bit more varied but delicious orange juice.

Situation and general ambience. Friendly staff. Style of the place is really charming. It was unseasonably cold but they put the heating on for us which worked well.

The airconditioner did not work. It was cooler outside than inside. We opened the window but it openned to the patio where the restaurant is, so we had noise coming in. However, sleep was O.K. at nigth for they do not serve dinner.

That it was at the Alhambra. So it was great especifically for the days we had tickets to The Alhambra tours. The bus system to and from Albaicin and downtown passes every 7 minutes (c32, C30) Rhe bus ro Sacromonte can be taken in downtown (C31) Everything is within a 15 minute bus ride.

Just be ready for carrying bags up narrow steps if you can't get the ground floor rooms as there is no elevator. Also if coming by rental car, be prepared for the 10 walk to and from the 24 hour parking lots. While you can drive your luggage to the door, you are not able to park there. One wonders if they could not make a deal with the bigger hotel next door that does have a parking area.

The Location inside the Alhambra wall is fantastic. The hotel iteself is absolutly charming with its old-world vibe, inner courtyard, and 18th centurty decor. The staff were excellent and attentive despite been very short handed and busy trying to balance everybodies needs. When we realized that they did not have an elevator, we were able to upgrade to the only ground level family suite for surprising small extra amount. We were also able to drive our luggage to the door, although one does have to take it back out to the main parking areas some 10 minutes walk away.
