Shine Albayzin - Granada

upgrade to a very big room (150 euro) as the initial room doesnt have window to outside, however the bed is still 'doubled' by two small single beds not the normal double bed. location is not bad as it is close to the Nuevo plaza. anyway you have to take small bus to the Palace if you dont want to walk 20 minutes in the mountain.

hot water is a problem as someone commented before. breakfast is the most simple one that i have experienced.

Great location and nice design. Some rooms are very specious.

The only draw back is the capacity for hot water. You have to take a quick shower to enjoy continuous flow of hot water.

The location was superb and the staff helpful. The hotel is newly refurbished with taste and simplicity. A creative room design but with little privacy. Part of the bathroom is in the bedroom. Clean room.

The breakfast is limited. No telephone in the rooms. Make sure that you get a room with a window unless you like to be in the interior courtyard. Internet is available and free but does not work in the bedrooms.

the room was well designed and tastefully done. The shower stall was terrific.the location was perfect.

Our room was an interior room, which meant no window to the outdoors, it made the room feel kind of cave-like. We were not there often, but, would have liked an outdoor window. The shower only had hot water for 20 minutes, that was not explained to us. The hotel said it had wifi, I was unable to access it during our stay and no one at the front desk could help wit that.

Location is excellent, the atomospher is nice.

Reaching by car is a bit difficult, no tea facility available, Wifi is OK only around the lobby.

Well-preserved building in a historical area.

Internal room, not well-ventilated.No facilities within the hotel.

Beautiful rooms, very clean. extremely convenient location. highly recommended

a few services should be offered at a hotel like this, which aren't...most importantly a laundry service. The wireless internet also doesn't reach beyond the lobby so you have to leave your room to check anything.

Location and style

Breakfast not available lack of parking information

Make sure that you get a room with a view. Some of the rooms have only a window leading to a dark patio without fresh air or anything.

Big room (we had a suite), nice old building attractively renovated in parts, sofa in room.

This hotel is priced top of the range for Granada. We had the best room they could offer as they had let the room we had originally booked and upgraded us when we arrived. Despite this: no wifi in room; rationed hot water that ran cold; no iron, kettle or hairdryer in room. Faux designer look masking poor amenities and non existent services. Poor attitude of staff. We were told when we arrived we could make tea but not coffee in the reception area. On the second day the tea making facilities were removed. No foreign channels on TV. No telephone in room. Shire Hotel really didn't.

My stay was lovely. The staff was very helpful and nice. It would have been nice to have phones in the room as I am still one of those who does not have a fancy travel phone. The room was not quite birght enough (the lighting) yet I relaxed there and really had a fine time there. Thank you again. Susy Grazi

The reception staff spoke English, the hotel is very quiet because it is on a non-vehicle road, and the hotel is very close to the the Alhambra and within easy walking distance of lots of good restaurants.

Very tranquil hotel, easy to relax in.

No phone in the room and only small beds available. (these can be pushed together to create a bigger bed but still not the same!)

The hotel is very convenient for visiting Granada and, especially, the Alhambra.The room was very large and comfortable, with, as advertised, views of the Alcazaber (Torre de Vela) from the bedroom window.

We loved this Hotel. It was beautiful and magical from the front door through the lobby to the room. The decor was all done in a lovely shade of historical grey, very modern but still appropriate for this 15th century building.The staff were friendly, helpful and polite. It made for an easy stay.

We had a front facing room along the street which made it difficult to get away from the noise. The beds which were boney and the linens let this lovely Hotel down.
