Absolutely fantastic! Loved this hotel. Though it's officially rated as a 3-star, I liked it more than some of the 4 stars in Madrid and Seville. The location is perfect. It's situated at the end of the historic and charming Albaysin neighborhood with views of the Alhambra and within a 5 minute walk to the city center. Best of all worlds. The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend this hotel, would stay here again.

Had a lovely time. Our apartment was comfortable and right next to the Alhambra. The staff was great. The only negative comments I have is that the apartment and the first floor of the building slightly smelled and cleaning service was not included.

Decent hotel in the old part of Granada. Room was pretty small, but adequate. Within walking distance of many restaurants and shops.

Great location. Lovely cool and calm interior with free cake available. Rooms are spacious with high ceilings, new, comfortable beds and modern bathroom. Air conditioning works very well. Nice to have a close retreat from the heat and touristiness of the old town.

Our stay at shine has been quite comfortable. We strayed in 302 on the uppermost floor. There are enormous windows looking up the hillside to Alhambra. The staff have been super friendly and helpful. And while not included the breakfast at the adjoining cafe was one of the high points of our trip. The only reason I'm not giving this place Five stars are for the obvious trade-offs with the location: being in the center there is no parking available, so you will have to take a taxi or drag your suitcase through the narrow cobblestone streets (in the oppressive heat). Once settled in though, most everything is within a 15 minute walk away.

Ruined my anniversary (17 years)!
First of all, as a guy we are always looked to as being forgetful beasts when it comes to anniversaries. Well this year o had planned a weekend in Granada for mine and Shine Albayzin managed to ruin it, thanks.
We arrived cold and tired from touring the city and Alhambra. Many drinks and tapas, it looked like I would get a STAR for planning a great anniversary, NOT! We proceeded to check in, ID, credit card for incidentals, spouses ID? What? Are you serious? I'm checking into a reserved room with all my credentials. I spend over a 100 nights a year in hotels around the world, never been asked for additional guests ID
Needless to say, no problem solving skills from this group. Could have emailed a copy of photo ID the next day, could have had my son fax the next morning, no solution found by staff. We were showed the door! What a first class outfit.
As we had been drinking at dinner we slept in our car in a fun filled parking garage!
You SUCK Shine Albayzin!
No stars for you and your inept staff!response / report this review -

This hotel was the highlight of our 2-week tour of Spain - and its absolutely gorgeous!
Upon an early arrival, we were upgraded to a suite and they gratuitously took our bags and helped us plan our morning while our room was prepared - one of the most breathtaking rooms I've ever seen.

Beautiful, tranquil, excellent service. A perfect oasis in a perfect location. Breakfast isn't included but they have a great cafeteria (casa Duran) with the best coffee, plus an excellent selection of goodies to accompany your brew.

No parking places nearby. The recommended parking place (still almost 1 km away from the hotel) was fully booked. We needed a long time to find another parking place, which was quite expensive and some km away from the hotel so that we needed a taxi. We were staying in one of the apartments, which are located a few hundred meters away from the hotel. The apartment and the furniture therein were really worn down and quite dirty--at least at places, where one does not immediately look at (e.g. under the bed, behind furniture, in some corners, ). We almost didn't get any sleep. The bed was shaking and made loud noises every time when one of us moved a little. Even worse, a lot of screaming and drunken people as well as scooters and cars passed on the streets (with cobblestone pavement) around the apartment during the entire night and the windows of the apartment had large gaps between their wings and frames so it was as extremely noisy. Never again Shine Albayzin!

A very nice hotel. It's clean, comfortable, and has a pleasing décor that creates associations with the era when houses in the area were built. Location is very central in Granada's charming old quarters with narrow cobblestone alleys, and from our room we could see the Alhambra on the mountain side. No nearby parking is however available. Rooms are somewhat inefficiently soundproof, and some noise from the street can penetrate. The front desk staff was extremely nice and helpful in all respects. We are very happy with our stay at the Shine Albayzín!
