Guadalupe - Granada, Spain     

We chose the Hotel Guadalupe for its prime location across the street from the Alhambra. We only had 24 hours to spend in Granada and had 9 a.m. Nasrid Palace tickets so thought it would be best to stay closeby. The Hotel Guadalupe was good value for the money (we paid 75 Euros per room) and was perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. The hotel was easy to deal with by internet and, although our travel plans got completely screwed up and we were five hours late, our rooms were waiting for us. We were in the annex which was a bit of an inconvenience (especially since it rained through much of our visit), but the room was spotless and the bathroom large. Both of our rooms were extremely dark, looked out to a closed terrace that we had no access to, so clearly the rooms vary in amenities/views. There also was no wifi access in our room which was a disappointment to our teenage son. There is a common computer in the lobby which we used. The staff runs hot and cold (first receptionist was lovely but the others were a bit standoffish). Didn't use the bar so can't tell you about the bartender. We have nothing but raves for the dinner in the hotel dining room. The paella was the best meal we had in our week in Andulsia! And the waiters were friendly and helpful. We had hoped to find a cheaper place for breakfast but there is none on the street. So it was a bit of a pricey buffet but the convenience was worth it. There are no safes in the room but you can have you own at the front desk. But computers do not fit in them. Do book your Alhambra tickets online or you will be disappointed. And we found it worthwhile to get the lay of the land regarding where the ticket kiosks are on the evening prior to our visit. They are tucked behind the main ticket counter which will have a long line to it in the morning. And do rent the audioguides as there is little in the Alhambra to tell you about what you are seeing.
