Alhambra Palace Hotel: Reviews

Overall

On the plus side is the location, up away from the bustle of the city, close to the Alhambra Palace and gardens and with a wonderful view (provided you get a room at the front, overlooking the city). On the down side--- where to begin? Anything positive you may read about this place will have been written by or on behalf of the hotel itself. Fanciful claims that this is a luxurious hotel, one of the best in Europe etc etc -- DO NOT BELIEVE IT!! . OK, the entrance is grand, but beyond that, the place is a real disappointment. The bedrooms are pokey, the bathrooms are utilitarian, the decor is tired and shabby, the service is essentially "take it or leave it" and the food is bad (where else have you found an egg floating in the fruit juice dispenser at breakfast???). This place represents appalling value for money. If you're easily impressed and happy to waste your money--go ahead, book. Likewise , if your idea of heaven is fighting your way through hordes of shouting Spanish wedding guests who pack the place every weekend . Ditto if you like eating your overpriced, gruesome breakfast (luke warm meatballs, stale croissant, processed ham, powdered fruit juice--I kid you not!!) in a stuffy dining room in the company of geriatrics(amazingly, breakfast out on the terrace is strictly prohibited!!!). Otherwise, stay away!!!
