Shine Albayzín Hotel

We reserved a suite with a view of the Torre Vela (Watch Tower) of the Alhambra. Room 202 did not disappoint! It was a huge room with two small balconies overlooking the pedestrian street and Darro River below with views of the Alhambra up on the hill. Seeing the Alhambra lit up at night was magical. The suite was well appointed with a comfortable seating area and large bathroom area, but the highlight of the room was the beautiful vaulted Mudejar wood ceiling. The hotel is in an ideal location near Plaza Nueva to explore all of the historical sights on foot and easy to get to the Albayzin by bus if you don't feel like walking up the steep hills. Fabulous!

The location on the pedestrian street was very convenient, but there was some street noise all night long. It's a trade-off for hearing the Darro River rushing along and having a view of the Alhambra from your balconies.

It's a brand new hotel where tradition and authencity meet modern facilities. An absolutely perfect location with a view towards Alhambra. The inner courtyard renders a relaxing atmosphere. The staff was very helpful.

Everything... the price was so reasonable, the lovely old building with its inner courtyard, the modern clean rooms with air conditioning, lovely towels and all the bathroom amenities you could need, the very friendly English speaking receptionist, the tea and coffee making facilities in the courtyard, and the location was tops... on the River Darro just below the Alhambra, on the edge of the Albacin, walking distance to everything... we walked there from the railway station [25mins], and then walked all around the Albacin, up to the Alhambra and you're just a few minutes walk from the Plaza Nuevo where there are plenty of eating places.
