Book a Padul Cottage

"The property is unique, established within a (what looks like) an historical building. We loved the two courtyards and rooms being around the central courtyards. The staff are friendly, courteous, and helpful and informative about things to do. Our bedroom was clean and spacious and the mini-bar was big enough to hold some of our own food items too. We were never bothered unnecessarily. The only issue I had was with the noises that came from movement in the upstairs bedrooms because, of course, there is no carpeting. That being said, the rooms all have individual air conditioning so you can set the temperature at your desired levels. The hotel staff kindly provided us with an extra fan as we were not used to the August heat and sent us a basket of fresh, seasonal fruits (substituted for the usual bottle of wine since we don’t drink alcohol. The hotel is situated just off the famous El Darro and getting into town is easily walkable, and doesn’t take long either. All in all, we loved this hotel and would go back again. "

"Large, comfortable rooms and an amazing rooftop pool & bar"

"We had an amazing time and got the room with the view of the Alhambra. The breakfast was really good also. Very clean. Photo is the view from the room. Please know that room is on the 5th floor and the elevator only goes up to the 3rd floor. So you will have to carry your luggage to that room if you book it. Also there is no laundry room. You’ll have to walk your laundry about a half of a mile away to do it. "

"One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Friendly and thoughtful staff. Incredibly beautiful Andalusian architecture. Excellent quality throughout. "

"Lovely pool with a great bar and the amazing barman. "

"A nice hotel, within reasonable walking distance (though with a bit of a climb) to the "Albaicin" area. If you're driving a car, then the hotel's underground on-site parking is a must (though it's a bit cramped). As is usual for Spain, there's no real coffee in the room. ('Instant coffee' is not coffee!)"
