Michelin Guide "This charming small stylish hotel fronts onto a pretty square... book a room with a view over the plaza. Excellent value."
Rough Guide "Pleasant, two-star hotel well located near the cathedral on an atmospheric square; make sure you request an exterior room if you don’t want to overlook a gloomy light-well."
Frommer's "It helps to enjoy the company of fellow travelers... guests congregate on the top-floor balcony, where it’s fun to spend an evening with a bottle of wine." Full review

Book three or more nights to get free breakfast.
Lonely Planet "The spacious rooms, clean and renovated in 2008, overlook Plaza Bib-Rambla, and there are double-glazed windows to shut out the hubbub at night. There’s a small but panoramic rooftop terrace." Full review

Fodor's "Built by a local duke in 1910, this neo-Moorish hotel is on leafy grounds at the back of the Alhambra hill, and 2012 saw completion of the restoration of its very Arabian Nights interior." Full review

Ask to see the Golden Book, signed by the hotel's famous guests.
Frommer's "Evoking a Moorish fortress complete with a crenellated roofline, a crowning dome, geometric tile work, and the suggestion of a minaret, this legendary hotel is a good choice." Full review
i
Ask for one with a balcony opening onto a view of the city of Granada, but avoid the court rooms, whose windows lack double-glazing.
Insight Guides "This luxuriously decorated hotel, with around 126 rooms, is housed within an impressive Moorish-style palace on the edge of the hill that the Alhambra stands on (five minutes’ walk away)."
Star Service "In the city's most panoramic setting, on a scenic bluff alongside the Alhambra, this property is Granada's most famous hotel." Full review
i
Avoid the rooms facing the back of the hotel and the road.

"The 126-room Hotel Alhambra Palace merits the adjective “grand” -- the impressive building is more than a century old and housed a hospital during the Spanish Civil War." Full review
