Hotel Casa Morisca

Stayed at this charming, old hotel. The hotel is beautiful. It is located on a slope, so be prepared for a bit of walking. The bus stop is just around the corner, so it is handy if you are too tired of walking. Our room has a view of Alhambra from the toilet. The room itself is a quite small and a bit warm. There was a slight smell, but keeping the windows open helped air it out. The real highlight was Victor, who gave us fantastic local tapas tips. We went to all three of them, including the tapas place that serves the world’s second best snails (as the first one is made by his mother). It was worth it! Overall, a memorable stay and very well located hotel.

A wonderful place to stay. Plus points: they kindly heated up the room before our arrival as requested (we had been quite frozen after our first hotel); they address their guests with remarkable old-school politeness; the place is exquisitely beautiful and soothing; the bed is excellent; great breakfast with a few local variations… We felt welcome. No minus points whatsoever.

The staff (<3 Victor) is excellent! The bed is very comfortable and the room is cozy. The pillows were the best yet. Shower got hot quickly and the pressure was just right. There is parking if needed. The neighborhood is easily walkable, but cabs were called for us when needed. The towels were fluffy and soft! This haven is romantic, cute and cozy. We really enjoyed our stay!

Loved it!||Only 15-20 rooms but all centered around a beautiful courtyard on a quiet street but right by the River. Parking is right out the door and very reasonable.||Very clean and charming. Would happily return.||Note - breakfast is additional which was the only hotel that we stayed in where it was not included.

What a special break away in a beautiful romantic hotel !! The room was spotless nice and warm the bed was comfy even a kettle is provided for that much needed morning cuppa ,the shower was super hot nice bath towels the staff are very welcoming, its within a short walking distance to everything and the parking is good.

Exceptional clean hotel with Islamic history. The building is even more well maintained than some of the monuments nearby. It’s 15 mins walk up to the Alhambra, but note that it’s all the way uphills. You can also take the bus, but the bus takes more time.

A nice boutique hotel with their own limited parking spaces. Charming rooms but you can hear neighbors. Friendly and helpful staff, reception 24h. 15 min walk uphill to Alhambra entrance, close to restaurants, 15-20 to centre, flat walk, uphill walking through old town.|Did not try breakfast.

Beautiful, quaint hotel very convenient to see the Alhambra. There is parking available out front if needed and you are a 20 minute walk from the Alhambra entrance and less than that to the shops and restaurants of the town. The rooms are pretty and have a fridge and coffee maker. There is 24 hour reception and the Hotel is very secure. A few things, however, were not as advertised - for example, the web site mentions the rooms are air conditioned - which they are, but it is more of an air cooling system and the unit in our room (room 14) never managed to cool down the room - making sleeping very very uncomfortable. As well, the website advertises a breakfast buffet - the assumption was it ws included in our rate - we were not made aware that there was a cost at any point of our stay until check out and were quite surprised. The gentleman at the desk said "it was in our contract" The email they send upon check in (we arrived a midnight) confirming details is 1. in Spanish and 2. does not mention an additional charge for breakfast. I did not argue further because we had already eaten there and our transfer was waiting for us. If you choose to eat there, note that the buffet is exceptionally basic - the food is fine, and it is suitable if you need an early breakfast before a morning visit to the Alhambra, but if you are not in a time-sensitive situation, I would recommend eating at a restaurant in town instead.

This is a hotel with lots of character, located at the edge of the El Albayzín neighborhood. It's very conveniently located- from the hotel, it's a short walk (5 min) to most of the sights in "Modern" Granada and a ~20 min (uphill) walk to the Alhambra. The lobby, hallway, and rooms all retain the architecture of the house from which the hotel was converted. The service (both by the maid staff and the front desk staff) is excellent, and they speak English. Unfortunately, a couple issues prevent me from giving the hotel a higher review. First, a faint smell of sewage greeted me each time I opened the room door. Sure, it was faint, and sure, it seemed to go away after a few minutes (i.e. I got used to it), but a sewage smell is a sewage smell. Less importantly, the wifi didn't work well in the room (and was weak even in the lobby). This is an issue in many hotels we visited in Andalusia though, so I'd recommend purchasing a local 3G/4G sim card from Vodafone.

Charming and cozy hotel with very friendly service. It has a very traditional feel but with all the amenities you expect in modern living. Victor, who was working the front desk when we arrived was very welcoming and attentive. He was out to help us with our bags as soon as we arrived at the door. It's in very close proximity to the Alhambra and is within walking distance to city center and Mirador de San Nicolás. There's an option for buffet breakfast in the mornings for a fee and wifi speeds are pretty good. Highly recommend if you're visiting Granada for a day or two days and want to be close to the Alhambra.

Can't believe my wife and I are the first to review this wonderful hotel. It has won a preservation award for turning this very old house into a small, boutique hotel. One of the advantages is that it offers parking if you reserve in advance, but we would strongly advise you to rent and drive a very small car. The old town streets are challenging, and this hotel is very difficult to find. Even with the map provided by the hotel, you will find it difficult. We also had the CityMaps2Go app on the iPhone (definitely recommend this $3 app for European travel that works with GPS even without internet access), and this did the trick. Note: the hotel indicates that the surrounding streets have restricted access, suggesting that there is some kind of a police barrier, but this is not true. The hotel is right across the street and river from the Alhambra, though you have to walk up a steep hill to get there. As such, it is centrally located and convenient to all sites. The staff is very friendly and helpful. On our trip, we avoided the hotel breakfast, opting to grab coffee and a pastry at a café. The only breakfast we took was at this hotel to save time. It was a more than adequate buffet of pastries, cheese, fruit, and meat. And for anybody who reads this far in this review, we discovered that while your access time to the Nasrid Palaces is limited to 30 minutes, this only refers to the entry time. One inside, you can take as long as you want and proceed at your own pace. Ditto for the other 2 venues within the Alhambra where you must show your ticket. Finally, we think that although the Alhambra "closes" from 2-4 PM, this only refers to entry. If you are inside already, they don't kick you out. Buy your ticket online well in advance, and pick an early time.
