Beautiful building and rooms. The city view room, with the balcony, are very romantic. Greg, the front desk guy, was amazing. He can help out with everything you need in Granada. Amazing cafe in the building for breakfast. I would stay here again.

The room, staff, and location were all fantastic. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us, which was lovely after the long trip to get there. Clerk gave me some great recommendations, they were very communicative prior to our arrival and the view from the room was great. Loved the courtyard. Only one issue was the strange light above the door that we had to drape something over so it didn't keep us up all night. Everything else was fantastic. They were even nice enough to hold our bags for us while we toured Alhambra, even though we checked out in the morning.

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.

Erg leuk en mooi gelegen

Geweldige plek om te verblijven, maar niet voor mensen die slecht ter been zijn. Dat geldt overigens voor het hele gebied. Parkeren is op ca 10 min lopen en een (rol)koffer meenemen is best een avontuur. Wij kozen ervoor om een rugzak te vullen met het hoognodige. Personeel is erg behulpzaam en vriendelijk. De kamer is netjes, maar vertoont wat probleempjes. Zo werkte de regendouche niet en is het toilet erg onhandig geplaatst. De ligging is perfect. Je loopt de antieke voordeur uit en staat direct in de levendigste wijk van Granada. Als we nog een keer naar Granada gaan, komen we hier zeker terug.

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.
