Palacio De Santa Ines - Granada, Spain     

This hotel has all the appeals to be a great hotel in the great town of Granada, but the only great thing you get is the not-worth-it price per room. I was really looking forward my stay at PSI but... Wonderful spot, with wonderful views from room but that?s all you get for what you pay. (And you pay a lot). In the same area, (Plaza Nueva, Albayzin) you will find lots of alternative places to stay. Really noisy (inside and outside hotel), old furniture (claiming to be antiques), dusty, ridiculus 14" TV and mini-Bar with only 2 tiny bottles of water . Moreover, our bathroon was not spot-less and that is something I really hate specially when I am charged as luxury hotel. Not coming back to Palacio Santa Ines (and I am a frequent visitor of lovely Granada).

Obviously this hotel gets mixed reviews and mine is the same. You must accept the fact that this is a quirky spot - old palacio with an eccentric but charming renovation job. We had two rooms (for three people) and they were very nice with old furniture and enormous character. My only complaint besides the price tag (a bit too much) was that the staff was more interested in each other than in the customer. We asked for a restaurant recommendation and got one but no map, no little diagram and we never found it. They just didn't seem to care very much. Maybe it was an off day, or not the usual staff. I would recommend staying here especially since it's really the exact neighborhood you want to be in. The only energy the staff actually exhibited was attempting to get us on an expensive tour of the Alhambra. It felt very much like a kickback situation. As it turned out the tour was booked and so was the Alhambra - a note of caution: book ahead for tickets to the Alhambra or you run the risk of not getting in. Fortunately we had seen it before.
