My husband appreciated the authentic feel of the hotel more than I did. It did take you back to how it must have been in the olden days. It had all the necessities. The patio area was special. My preference leans towards more modernity. The location was pretty good with access to the Alhambra and city center within 15 minutes. I would only recommend this place if you are in good physical condition. The in itself has stairs and of course the road has no car access so you will be carrying your luggage up some steps and incline. Overall recommend if you are looking for an authentic experience. The area is also more peaceful than city center.
We LOVED Solar MontesClaros! What a beautiful, unique stay! I always read the best reviews and worst reviews of a place before booking, and I can honestly say that any criticism of MontesClaros is unwarranted. Everything was so comfortable and I slept like a dream while there. Antonio was a perfect, gracious host. Unless you have mobility issues, I would not hesitate to book a room here. If we are ever lucky enough to come to Granada again, we will most definitely stay here again!
Excellent stay, great location, close to flamenco venues and good walks through the cobbled streets of AlbaicĂn. Restaurants are also within walking distance. Fantastic views of the Alhambra. Recommend wearing sturdy footwear for walking along the steep cobbled streets.
Fantastisk hotel, men beliggenhet var vanskelig om man er dÄrlig til bens. Hotellet var rent og pent. Det var stille og behagelig men ulendt og tunge trapper
I had a room with a view directly across at the Alhambra. I actually preferred my view to that of St Nicolas Square, without the hassle of the crowd. Host was very helpful and welcoming. Bus 34 stopped just 100 meters from the front door, easiest way into town center and back up the hill. Bus 32 stops 150 meters away and loops directly to Alhambra.
Lugar idĂlico. El hotel te transporta a la Granada de las mil y una noches. Unas vistas espectaculares a la Alhambra. De mis 6 visitas a Granada este sitio sin duda me ha dejado maravillada. Volveremos sin ninguna duda.
Small boutique inn up on the hill directly opposite of the Alhambra. We enjoyed the long walks up from the commercial center below (some sections were very narrow and barely passable by cars). The WIFI was so slow we could not even upload emails most days, let alone pull up a webpage, and this was the only negative aspect of our stay.
