This hotel was Fantastic! TIP: if you are driving, there is a 15 min parking spot immediately to the right of the front door in the alley so you can check in and get instructions to the parking garage. Streets are narrow so do not upsize your rental vehicle! The hotel is in a perfect spot next to a small square where you can have a coffee and breakfast. Easy walking to every attraction you’d like to see, but to save some foot fatigue, you can take a bus or Uber to Alhambra. The hotel was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The staff was very helpful to recommend things to see and do. Buffet breakfast starts at 7:30 and has a good selection, but you could buy fruit across the street and eat in the square for half the cost. I highly recommend Reina Christina and would definitely stay here again!

I stayed only for two nights. While I found there were some signs of wear, there wasn't anything particularly concerning. The decor did seem out of date, but that seemed to enrich the aesthetics of the hotel. The bed was comfortable and there was ample space in my room. It was convenient located within a walkable distance between the train station and city centre. The only issue I had was the behavior of other guest who decided to have loud conversations in the hallway while I was trying to sleep. I have no reason to belive this was the hotels fault, but perhaps greater policing of the public areas would be helpful.

This place is a dump. We decided in ten minutes to go to another hotel, as we could not stay. The room had a low set of beds even though we asked well in advance for a single large bed. The window looked 2 metres over to a blank wall. The furniture was old and tired; there was only one chaur

The first room with view on the street was extremely noisy. I got a second room with view on the inner courtyard. Even though, the room was quieter, it was extremely stuffy having to keep the windows closed as not to hear the noise in the reception area. The breakfasts were hit and miss. The first morning, the eggs were cold. The waiter brought them back to the kitchen to be warmed up. Nevertheless, they came back still cold. The second morning, breakfast was much better. The staff at breakfast and at the restaurant was wonderful. These gentlemen were professional and helpful. The staff at the reception desk was a mix; some were grumpy, others were welcoming and helpful. The location is perfect, you can walk to most attractions. The hotel is older and needs some freshening up and care.

A very well located property for exploring Granada.Friendly and accomodating staff.Whilst the property is reminiscent of a bygone era the rooms could do with some modernisation.

Nice, but noisy
The lobby was pretty and the room was a decent size. The hotel is in a convenient location, but the rooms had poor sound insulation so we heard noise from the street and other rooms which made it hard to sleep, and the curtains didn't close completely. The AC was pretty weak and left the room a little too hot to sleep well in.

I was in the front section with a room overlooking the lobby courtyard. I expect to be able to sleep in a hotel but the noise severely limited that. Voices from the lobby were so amplified that it sounded like they were right outside my window. The door locks require a clunky key and are so loud. Guests pull the door close which sounds like it is being slammed. Walls are thin. Add the annoyance of many small broken things and disinterested staff. The back section may be better. The hotel was clean. I get crabby when I don't slerp and I was very crabby when I unfortunatly stayed here. NOT RECOMMENDED

The location is perfect. WE are tourists so were able to walk to see all of the sights. The front desk people were very helpful and the bar next door served delicious tapas and reasonably priced drinks with friendly waiter. The hotel is historic so lots of antiques. The room floor was not very clean- you could feel grit on your feet as you walked. They didn't replenish our shampoo or soap so we conserved on the last day- but we could have asked for more. The bathroom is very small. Overall it was pleasant and served our needs. It came highly recommended by our neighbor who has stayed there a number of times. Price is great too!

Old Style Hotel
This was an old style hotel, but the location was close to the Cathedral and not a long walk to the C3 bus for Alhambra. The wifi was terrible - basically useless. Although there was a safe in the room it was unusable unless you paid an additional 3 Euros a day for an "activator". Got really cold in the room the first night but there were no extra blankets in the room.

Charming but a little frayed around the edges
Clean, modest rooms in a fabulous location just meters away from the Cathedral. The amenities e.g. air conditioning/bathroom/hair dryers etc were all a little old and worn but still functioning. Excellent service from reception staff. The hotel was very quiet when we stayed but I'd get the impression that during busy periods the noise from the tiled floors in the corridors/doors slamming would be quite noticeable. All in all a great price for a very charming hotel with lots of history - just don't expect any mod cons.

Comfortable 3 star in Granada
Clean and comfortable, well located for exploring the town on foot. Easy walk to downtown. Friendly and helpful front desk. Cleaning staff fine. An interesting and attractive building. Associated coffee shop OK for light meals; associated restaurant looked stuffy, and so didn't go in. Good selection of cafes around nearby plaza. A good to very good 3 star.

Close to centre and shops and places of interests.
A nice classic hotel with a lot of effort in adding to the character . However the big issue for me was guests smoking in hotel room which seems to be a european thing. My room stank of smoke and it was disgusting. Room was cleaned very well and hotel staff were very pleasant. Wifi worked brilliantly. Breakfast was standard european food.

Poor value
The location is perfect. The hotel is. Be teally located near the cathedral. The lobby is very nice looking and the showers have good water pressure. Unfortunately the rooms leave much to be desired. They are tiny and the beds feel like cots. This is not up to standard for a three-star hotel.

Beware traffic and parking
Conveniently located. But traffic in Granada is heavy, on-street parking is essentially non-existent, the street pattern is confusing, and GPS often gives misleading information due to road construction. So visitors should discuss the best place to park with hotel management before they arrive - otherwise you can waste a lot of time.

Disappointing - needs maintenance
We were excited to stay here due to its location and history (interesting connection with Lorca's "demise"). Unfortunately, it appears the hotel has not been well-maintained. The lobby is still quite attractive, but our room left something to be desired. There were large dust bunnies on the floor throughout our stay (indicating a lack of care by the cleaning staff), and the shower and shower curtain were hit and miss. It did appear that a section of rooms near ours was nicer and may have been renovated. If the (remainder of?) the hotel is renovated, it would be a great place to stay. The location can't be beat (5 minutes from the cathedral) and the staff were all quite personable with most if not all speaking at least some English. I don't make negative comments because of being picky - stayed in a very similar hotel in Seville (Hotel Maestranza - highly recommended!) right before this. However, the hotel in Seville was spotlessly clean and extremely well maintained, though possibly the room was even a bit smaller and the double beds could not be pushed together there.
