Hotel Los Bérchules

I had a peaceful stay at the hotel last weekend during my solo hiking trip in the Alpujarras. The property is charming, cozy and just down-to-earth, just what I needed. As a solo female traveler, I felt really really safe and comfortable at this hotel...I can just rest easy. The rooms are neat and clean, homemade dinner was delicious, but the highlight of my trip was the breathtaking views from the hotel. Love the handmade postcards from your souvenir corner too! Will definitely come back again. Thanks for your hospitality, Paula and Megan.

Me and my wife we staying in Los Bèrchules during our trip in Sierra Nevada. We were warmly welcomed by Megan and Paula and were impressed with the level of hospitality and service. Rooms are cozy and clean, the view is outstanding - you can catch beautiful sunsets and even see the coast of Africa if the sky is clear. I would like to point out the hotel's cuisine - delicious and unique.

We checked out yesterday after a wonderful week's stay here. Paula and Megan are such fantastic hosts, catering to my dietary requirements at breakfast and even giving lots of advice on local eateries etc. They made our stay fantastic for our wedding anniversary, we didn't want to leave. The breakfast is plentiful, with lots of home made, delicious items made available. The hotel is very rustic, in a good way, with a traditional vibe. Rooms have everything you need for a relaxing stay, lovely balcony, strong shower, comfortable beds and a fan. The hotel is built in the area's traditional Pueblos Blancos style, so still cool in warm weather. Our room was cleaned daily, beds made and towels and bedding changed regularly. A laundry service was even provided which we appreciated. And Paula is happy to give you plates and cutlery to make your own lunch. We were lucky enough to have the hotel to ourselves for the first part of the holiday, so relaxing. The town is lovely, there is a Coviran in town to get water, beer, basic snacks and a bigger Carrefour in Cádiar, a 10 minute drive away. There is a local bar in Bérchules that does lovely tapa and food, and another in Alcutar, the next village only a 5 minute walk away. Don't forget to feed the poor cats in the villages! The hotel is in the perfect location to access the Alpujarras and Sierra Nevada region, and a lovely drive to Granada, the Tabernas desert and Almeria. A must see is spending time in Puerto de la Ragua, lots of amazing hikes and beautiful wild horses. I have nothing negative to say about this hotel, and will be back next year! Thank you.

Lovely hikers hotel, great pool and fantastic breakfast, with lots of homemade items. The owners were really friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay again

My wife and I stayed at this hotel in early April as an overnight stop on a hiking trip through the Alpujarras. A quiet location with comfortable rooms and easy access to pubs, cafes and the local supermarket. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, both of which were outstanding. Paola the owner was friendly and helpful providing local knowledge of the village and its surrounds.

Great stop along the GR7!!! Excellent communication beforehand. Helped us figure out where to stop for a snack on our way into town. Also we arranged for dinner, breakfast and packed lunches because we (a group of 6 of us) were hiking the GR7 and it was all handmade and SO delicious. BEST packed lunches of our entire trip!! Usually we could only get bocadillos for lunch but at Hotel Los Bercheles, they made us a great lunch that kept us going for our whole walk! (Cucumbers, hard boiled eggs, etc!) We all said we would love to go back and stay longer!

Ownership has changed - now run by a mother and daughter team from the NL since December 2023. Both charming (if direct, as the Dutch typically are), great if you speak English as easy to communicate. Rooms basic but beds (all twin) super comfy and you get a bath - great after a 6 hour hike! What is outstanding is the food - all homemade, even the bread. Megan is a great cook - so expect fabulous soups and European (not Spanish) food. Emphasis on vegetarian cooking, but not exclusively. Breakfasts fabulous. Cannot comment on the ambiance as we were the only guests, think a lot of their trade is through guided walking holiday companies like Headwater and Exodus. The village is small, so no local eateries within walking distance, local supermarket very small but we did manage to pick up fresh bread for our walk. Not a tourist village unlike Bubion or Capileira. All the walks in their book were written by the previous owners so a few years old.

We had a lovely evening at the hotel with hosts Paula and Megan. Rustic with country charm and fabulous views in a quiet location but easily accessible. We had a home cooked 3 course dinner and our vegetarian / vegan diners were well catered for . Highly recommended
