Cool room layout, with a nice view overlooking the stream running through town. The view of the Alhambra was limited, but the view in general was charming. Walls were a bit thin, but in general the hotel was quiet. Great and very helpful staff. Superb adjoining coffee place with great food.

Best authentic riad living with views of Alhambra

Every time we come to Granada, we stay here. When my wife and I eloped in Granada, it was this hotel that we stayed at. The suite has the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in since being in Europe. Everyone on the staff are professionals and so nice. We will always stay at Hotel Shine each and every time we come to Granada, our home away from home.

The room, staff, and location were all fantastic. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us, which was lovely after the long trip to get there. Clerk gave me some great recommendations, they were very communicative prior to our arrival and the view from the room was great. Loved the courtyard. Only one issue was the strange light above the door that we had to drape something over so it didn't keep us up all night. Everything else was fantastic. They were even nice enough to hold our bags for us while we toured Alhambra, even though we checked out in the morning.

Granada was my favorite city in Spain. This location was very convenient. We have a view of the Alhambra from our room. The hotel is right in the heart of the Albaicin neighborhood with lots of shopping and restaurants. The hotel is small but so amazing. It has an old charm but is remodeled with modern comfortable rooms. Loved it!

We were greeted warmly when we arrived . The reception staff were very helpful, booking Flamenco dancing, organising Taxi, advice on eating areas- all very good suggestions. The room was spacious and bathroom very clean. I couldn't see any parking and street very narrow, one way, but looks up at the Alhambra. Perfect
