“2 stars for the hotel, two more for Ringo !”

We have been to the hotel each year for a number of years now, so I feel that we can offer a realistic review of how things have been ..and probably what to expect in the near future.

We have been to the hotel each year for a number of years now, so I feel that we can offer a realistic review of how things have been ..and probably what to expect in the near future. There is a lot of margin for improvement and renovation, as far as the building itself goes. We have not been able to observe any reform works in the last 5 years and given the current trend, there isn't much chance of things improving, Bare that in mind if you are looking for an up to date place to stay. On the other hand the staff, particularly at the restaurant/bar are 5 star all the way. Mot sure how much they are getting paid, but the way they attend you are way above anything we have seen in a long time here in Spain. Now for the highlight - and the main reason we would entertain to come back : Ringo. He is the hotel cat, with an outside house and an inside armchair, If you hate cats, stop reading now and curl up in a dark corner. If, on the other hand, you like animals..well, this is the place to go. The amount of people taking photos of Ringo..or Ringo with kids..or Ringo with influencers..or Ringo with (insert name here) are simply amazing... if ever there was a feline star at Sierra Nevada - this is it ! I am fully able to forgive all shortcomings, like the central heating not working in the first night ( an electric radiator was provided immediately and not removed even after the heating went back to normal on the second night..), or the lack of water pressure at the bathroom tap (the shower worked perfectly though..)...all for the sake of that cat. A true star !

Very nice located in the heart of the Sierra with an outstanding mountain view but in the hotel it seems that this is the only purpose of this hotel: providing a nice view and a quick connection to Sierra Nevada for low fare. I had the impression that nobody is really caring for the building even if you see somebody who seems to be responsible for it. Just as an example: there are no drain siphons - for very low costs reaching higher comfort for the guests. Same with breakfast: I think it is never too expensive to order fresh bread every day - instead of undefined part-baked buns. I have to admit that you get it all for low price. So you can spend the rest of your money to buy your own food in Granada and enjoy the view then.
