The hotel is located in the Bib-Rambla area of Granada with beautiful architecture and very close to sightseeing spots like Granada Cathedral, restaurants, cafés, bars and shopping. It's pretty ideally located as you're right in the middle of so much, yet it's not a "clubbing area" so it's still easy to fall asleep at night without getting disturbed by people partying. The hotel staff are very kind and friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable as was the bed and the bathroom was small but good. It's only about a ten minute walk away from the Albaicín area and depending on your speed and stamina, you could walk to the Alhambra in 20 minutes (there's a shortcut through a park at the side of a square which is easier to walk if you don't like to take the cobblestone steps via Carrera del Darro). I really enjoyed the hotel and found it very reasonably priced for the location. Would definitely return.

The location was fabulous for shopping and night life. The hotel has the beautiful Spanish feeling of culture in the design. At night quiet even though very close to bars etc.rooms big and airy cleaned every day.

Parking.....nothing to do with the hotel who does provide parking a little bit away. Best to park in one of the big car parks on the verge of the city and get a taxi to the hotel at the same cost. The narrow streets can be daunting to drive plus the fact everything is walking distance or cheap taxi ride.

Beautiful traditionally decorated lobby/reception area. The hotel is in a quiet location and very easy walking distance to the main attractions In Granada

The room was very tired and in need of freshening up. The wall electric sockets were not working, mini bar was empty and the bathroom was a challenge. The toilet was so close to the wall you had to site on it sideways. The bath was too small it would have been better as just a shower cubicle and no need for the bidet as well…..too many things in such a tiny room. The bed room itself was large so would have been better to extend the bathroom to make it bigger and more modern.

Staff are very welcoming and friendly. Location was good around 20 minutes walking to Alhambra. With taxi, it says on Google 17-20 minutes but actually it is around 8-10 minutes only. Google maps are showing wrong (due to streets that are closed but actually not). Good value for the money you're paying.

It was clean but no that much. More attention to cleaning inside the room would make the place 10/10. Also they don't have an iron (which is okay for 3 star hotels in Granada) so adding iron would be a plus in my opinion.

The location, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room had a balcony and a bath. The breakfast was tasty, and nice coffee. Fresh fruit.

The hotel needs a little TLC, the balcony looked a little sturdy, the room has had some taking to, the furniture was damaged and dusty, the covers on the bed, had a few stains, the bathroom could do with a good clean with bleach to get rid of mold build up.

Let me be honest, I always wanted to stay in this hotel after discovering that it was previous the house of the Rosales family and the location where Federico Garcia Lorca was in hiding before his arrest, but I was somewhat put off by the average reviews (3.9 here and 7.9 on Booking. I'm quite fussy when it comes to choosing the right hotel and so user reviews play a big part in me deciding where to stay). So when I came to Granada previously I chose to stay somewhere else. However, I returned to Granada this January and my curiosity got the better of me - plus the fact it is very reasonably priced (50-60 euros for a standard double room) - and so I finally booked here. I can't say I experienced any reason to negatively review the Hotel Reina Cristina. In fact, quite the opposite. The hotel was clean and in great condition (room cleaned daily). The employees were very friendly (special mention to Andalus who was great to chat to and welcoming in offering suggestions on food, etc). The location almost cannot be better. I didn't experience any soundproofing issues (it was pretty quiet for me the entire week I was there). There is plenty of wardrobe space for clothes and bags and the bed was comfortable. I'm glad the hotel retains some character of the house - the lobby is really cool with a fountain and a cabinet of Lorca-related memorabilia. In the future when I visit Granada I will come back to this hotel again and recommend it to others. Don't be put off on here as the rating isn't higher than 8+, I had a great stay here!

If I was to be critical of one or two minor things then perhaps I would say the cleaning product that the maid's use is quite strong and lingers for a long time but that didn't bother me much at all. Also in the shower it would be beneficial to have a holder to place soap.

Extremely well located for tourists in particular. The history of the building made the stay even more interesting, and the Rincón Lorca restaurant adjacent to the hotel has great food and great service. Having seen locals come to the restaurant gave us the assurance that we chose a good place for dinning. Remember to ask about the movie that was partly filmed in the building...

We found nothing not to like.

Location, friendly staff. Have stayed many times.

1. In my room the air conditioning did not seem to work well. I prefer a cool room but the AC seemed too warm. 2. The bar does breakfast next door. But it is not included in the price.As far as I can tell there is no cereal option. But I did know this from previous visits so it is not a major problem but others may want to be aware.

The room has a luxury air about it. A comfy bed, but the bed base moved easily away from the light switch. Good desk and fittings, wardrobe. Nice bathroom, big shower with a seat. Good reception and staff. Fairly central to the Cathedral and Renaissance buildings, easy to walk to the Alhambra and Plaza Nueva. Plenty of places to eat. Fantastic fruit shop opposite and a fantastic pastry shop too. Supermarket within two minutes walk.

The room faced the street and Tablas is a little noisy at times. You will hear the shop shutters go up and down. There is a restaurant attached, but it is rather expensive, I ate elsewhere. There was just one kind of shower gel provided, no separate shampoo or soap. There is nowhere to put the shower gel in the shower (no shelf of any kind).

We like the fact that it’s an old building with its own character and a history, in a nice neighborhood; about 10 minutes walk to the cathedral. The hotel administration helped us with the parking when we came. The breakfast was really good, suited to every taste.

This is an old building, some things didn’t function (refrigerator, safe, faucets…)
