several: rural accommodations

by gwened

if you use a base then a house is ok , otherwise do not think you will find houses for rent for short rentals including travel of 9 days. You can try for B&B or rural houses

Parque del Sol: Mediocore hotel in Fañabe

by Niklas1972

Quite nice hotel that earns it's three stars, but no more than three.

Room was quite ok, little old fashioned and worned. First floor room with balcony was excellent, since we could easily park our pushchair inside the apartment.

The breakfast was included in our reservation. It was quite medicore for a hotel breakfast. Some of the staff were very friendly and polite but unfortunately not all of them. I mean, if you cannot politely say good morning - you should not be working in hotel.

The pool was quite ok, though the water was pretty cold at this time of the year and the pool was not heated. Luckily our little fella was not too much of the swimmer at the time.

Location is pretty good - within Fañabe, but the hotel is located in the north Fañabe, and the more lively Las Americas lies south of Fañabe. Luckily there is pretty good public bus lines taking you from Fañabe to Las Americas with reasonable price.

Hostal/Pension Landazuri: (Granada): Great location

by meganavery

This was a great place to stay. Location was great...steps away from the Gate of the Pomegranate which is the entry into the park that will lead you up to the Alhambra and steps away from the Plaza Nueva. Fantastic location, good room, helpful staff, parking spot available and a little cafe attached if you don't want to hunt for breakfast!

Found this hotel through another Virtual Tourist member (and then saw it in Rick Steve's Spain 2012) book and it did not disappoint

Roof top access and views were awesome

in general: Spanish Hotels

by NMguy2011

Spent 3 weeks in Spain, thought I could pack light and do laundry while there but there were no laundrymats to be found, not in Madrid or even in the smaller cities and towns.. i.e. Toledo, Granada,Sevilla, Salamanca,Burgos, San Sebastian, Barcelona, Valencia. If you travel for several weeks pack a small length of clothesline, clothing that can dry overnight, and also a washcloth as none are provided in any of the hotels. You can find convenient detergent in any local market (not really any large SUPERmarkets.. just small neighborhood markets. Do your laundry early in the evening and hang up to dry and hope it's dry by morning. Or you can pay the high prices of the hotel about 5 Euro per item for then to launder your clothing.

While at the market buy your own case of bottled water then just throw in your backpack a couple each day you go out sightseeing.

Hostal Arti I: Centrally located, great prices

by lcre0002

Stayed there for a couple of nights. Very reasonable pricing for basic accomodation with shared bathroom/toilet facilities. Only a few metres away from the subway. If you aren't after any bells and whistles, and only need a place where to have a nap at night, I couldn't think of any better alternative in the neighborhood.

Very reasonable price
Wifi included
Centrally located
Drinks/snacks vending machines with cheapest prices in town :)

Horrible Front Desk Staff

Accommodation In Spain

by Sarahbro

Accommodation in Spain has been tremendous. There are 5.000 Hotels in Spain which have loads to propose and present. Hotels in Spain offer a Villa which has a private pool, a kitchen, lots of space, a private parking and is cheaper with a group of people; or an Apartment which has a kitchen, more than one bedroom and a bathroom. Family and friends can gather together and have a splendid time while on a holiday in Spain. Once you have set your budget, you can locate hotels in parts of the city of Granada or in the city in the province of Granada where you would like to visit. Granada has interesting monuments and natural environments to visits. Neighboring towns such as Almunecar, La Calahorra, Guadix, the Natural park of Huetor and the mountain town of Sierra Nevada are also rich cities of Spain. Spain surely is the most exotic holiday destination with an array of luxury villas, beach villas on Costa Del Sol and holiday apartments on Costa Blanca.

The most popular holidays in Spain are the "Beach holidays" , "City holidays” and the "Rural holidays “. While on a Beach Holiday, the most popular accommodation in Spain is a "Beach villa" and a "Beach apartment". On a City Holiday, you can search for a holiday apartment in the city centre of Barcelona, Madrid, Seville and other large Spanish cities. On a Rural Holiday, you can look for a holiday home in the mountains to enjoy nature at its best and the beauty of mountains, valleys and greenery very closely.

Enfocamp: Spanish summer camps in Spain

by Eve14

Hello

I don't know Enforex camps on my own, neither the ones from Don Quijote, but I've heard that both of them are very similar and well-organized. Some friends of my husband sent their children there, and I've never heard them complain about that decision. Their oldest son speaks spanish fluently now, so I guess it kind of worked out! They have some videos published on a youtube channel, you should just take a look and make your own opinion. Good luck with it!

Hotel Albero: Great little hotel in Granada

by MiteMsispe

The small Hotel Albero is quite easy to find when traveling by car and it is located less than a mile from the Alhambra. Albero is operated by a family which is very nice and helpful. We rented two single rooms for about $45 total per room per night- a very good price. It is rated a one star hotel ,which I normally would not have given a second thought, except for the exceptional reviews given to it by this site and other travel sites. Each room was very clean, newly and nicely appointed, and the bedding was comfortable enough. Breakfast is served by the female owner/manager and consists of delicious coffee/espresso, croissant, orange juice, and very good bread. This cost us $3.80 a piece.
The negative aspects of this hotel are that it does not appear to be within walking distance to many restaurants, but there are a couple within easy walking distance that serves sandwiches and other light fare. There are two bus lines that are just in front of the hotel that will take you to the central business district and the Albayzin district where there are many places to visit.
The only other aspect of the hotel that I did not like was the fact that the first room off of the lobby (102 which was my room)was intensely noisy until about 10pm or so. So much so that I was kept awake by what I presume was the night front desk clerk's loud snoring.
I would summarize Hotel Albero as a 1 star hotel that I would give a 2-2.5 star rating. I recommend it for those who like a quality bargain and do not mind driving or taking a bus to restaurants and attractions.

Outstanding qualities of this hotel are their personal attention to detail and general eagerness to please. The hotel appears to have been recently renovated and is comfortable.

Hotel CASA DEL CAPITEL NAZARÍ: Stunning Reinnassance palace hotel

by desertfl0wer

Built in 1503 this beautifully renovated hotel has retained its old world architecture and charm. It's immaculate, perfectly located (you can view the Alhambra from certain windows) and the service is friendly and will speak English (even if, like me, you try to speak Spanish). I brought my kids here one summer and they, too, loved sitting on the balcony over-looking the town and side streets. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you're tired of corporate hotel chains taking over all the small, privately owned gems still hidden among the side streets.

The hotel's best feature is its price and its architecture. It's very reasonably priced at roughly 69€ a night for a double room.

Other features include:
- 17 bedrooms with bathroom.
- Television and internet connection in all bedrooms.
- Exhibition gallery.
- Breakfast room.
- Living room.
- Concerted Parking
- Air Conditioning.
