We had a magnificent stay at this hotel. It was just the best possible location, in the old city, on the most picturesque street and overlooking the Alhambra. Brilliant rooms, very comfortable, everything you need. Note some trip advisor comments that it was hard to get access and not staffed 24 hours. We had no problems like this and in... More

My husband and I have just returned from a two-night stay at the Hotel Shine Albayzin. This hotel was perfect in every way. It is in the heart of the Moorish Albayzin district, right by the river (so no steps to climb) and one can hear the pleasant sound of the rushing river from your room. The Deluxe room I... More

What everyone says is true - its a lovely spot and you will say ahhh all the way up to your room as the house is charming and has been lovingly restored. Only trouble we had was in trying to get anything more that rudimentary help from the desk. No one was unpleasant but the folks running the 'desk' were... More

Great location on the Paseo de los Tristes facing the Alhambra, and right behind the Albayzin. Modern design and very clean rooms. The perfect base from which to wander around Granada. We had a room that faces the courtyard, so it was very quiet. The only problem to watch out for is that the hot water tank is the room... More

The Shine Albayzin is in an excellent location, close to the Alahambra, shops and restaurants. We took a taxi from the bus station which was excellent value for €10. The hotel has been renovated beautifully. You enter through a heavy wooden door and step into an internal courtyard. There was a warm welcome and a fuss free check-in. The service... More

What a wonderful boutique hotel experience. The staff blended into the hotel but were there when you needed them. The hotel seemed to run itself. Such a chilled and laid back experience. One problem was someone had smoked in our room before we got there (bleorgh - how selfish), but otherwise we couldn't fault our experience there. I would definitely... More

The Shine Albayzin seems to be part of a chain, called Shine, of well-renovated hotels in historic centres of European cities. This one opened very recently and was brilliant in almost every way – it’s located directly on the narrow ancient road along the river Darro, the heart of the old city at the foot of the hillside of the...

The adaptive re-use of the 16th century has been exceptionally well done. The staff are welcoming and the location (below the Alhambra) is spectacular. Great value as well.

A patio model renew hotel in the heart of Albayzin. With a view of Alhambra if you get superior room with the balcony. With the natural music from Darro river and close to Plaza Nueva for public transport hub and Calle Elvira for bunch of food (including halal restaurants). Negative things: a bit strange of design for rooms, and quiet... More

Nicely renovated, all modern comforts, medieval-arabic "air", in the best part of the city and absolutely adorable staff.
