This a city centre hotel in a traditional building in a busy location very close to the main shopping area. The inside was more modern and but had been nicely converted. Getting to by car was a challenge as it sits within a restricted zone. Follow yellow signs for the Victoria public car park as there appears to only one way in through semi pedestrian streets. It would have been helpful to know this beforehand but the hotel published information on this was poor. In fact the traffic restrictions don’t apply to guests and the hotel passes your car registration number on to the police to avoid a fine, again would have been useful to know! The rooms were good, clean, and well equipped. We had a large room with an inner balcony and had hoped for a city view. This turned out to be blessing as there was a festival when we were there and the streets were crowded and noisy. The breakfast area was large in an enclosed courtyard and the breakfast was excellent with a wide choice. The staff were welcoming and friendly. If you are going to the Alhambra which is fantastic and thoroughly deserves its World heritage status, take a taxi up as it is a very steep climb and 20-30 mins walk (hailed from the street) about 7€ and walk back. Alternatively there is a good dedicated bus service from the city centre.
