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.

First Time I taken the time to review a hotel, however I am making an exception for Shine Albayzin. Excellent customer service. Was greeted by Antonio who made sure I had the location of all the best restaurants, tourist attractions and local shopping. Antonio even recommended us a Flamenco show which was excellent. The location of the hotel is excellent. It is located in the heart of the city, shopping and food. Taxi service is easily accessible, however everything is within walking distance. The room was incredibly spacious and included those beautifully accented touches you can only dream of. From the room you can enjoy views of the Alhambra. The bed exceptionally comfortable. Would recommend and will stay in the same room when traveling to Granada again.

This hotel has a lot of atmosphere and character and is very well located opposite the Alhambra, many small restaurants and cafes and easy walking distance to the center of town. The front desk team are very enthusiastic about sharing their recommendations. One caution is to be wary about the rooms opening onto the inner courtyard. We moved to another room after the first of our 4 night stay and paid the extra to upgrade which we thought was well worth it. Overall a great hotel with wonderful staff.

An excellent choice for those who want to be in the center of Granada. It is a short walk to the main plaza where all the buses, dinning, & shopping take place. Step out of the main entrance, look up and you see Alhambra. Reception desk hours are 9 am to 7 pm. They send you instructions on how to enter the hotel after hours. I arrived 11 pm and had no problem getting in. I highly recommend you take a taxi from the airport as they know where to drop you off. I used Uber and the driver dropped me off at the wrong location and I had to find the hotel on my own. If you are at the taxi stop at the airport and there is no taxi, wait and within 5 min a taxi will come. You don't need to order one.

We only stayed here one night but wished we had stayed longer as there is so much to do and see in Granada. The hotel is located near the major attractions and there are numerous transportation options in close proximity should you want to make use of those, as well as a large number of restaurants. The hotel offers good accommodations at a very reasonable price. The real quality of a hotel is its staff and in this case you will find they shine. They were highly responsive and in our case promptly took care of an issue that was due entirely to an error on our part. It is easy to be good when things are going well the true mark is how situations are handled. The team at this hotel were outstanding. My thanks to all the staff for a great stay. We will certainly stay here again if our travels bring us back to Granada.

The room was spacious and super clean. We had the room with the Alahambra view on the second floor, perfect view at the same time if you have super sensitive ears like my wife get an inside facing room overall I stay here every time I come to Granada. Btw, great coffe shop right downstairs for your morning coffee.
