Yeah, I'm not really sure what was wrong with me when I posted the original review, I think I was…read morejust tired and being an ass. After having stayed in two other hotels after this one--and having nearly a week pass by since I first checked in--my impressions of this lovely, homey place have definitely changed. Quite frankly, I miss it and wish I was still there, enjoying a bottle of wine on the rooftop with that unbeatable view. Although most of what I said in the review remains true, it's definitely NOT as out of the way as I had thought.
I realize now that I didn't appreciate the nice things about this hotel as much as I should have, and overly stressed the negative. I would have gone with four stars, but I would have felt a little guilty about NOT leaving five, so that's what I gots to go with. I know this because if/when I come back to Spain and if/when I go back to Granada, I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else; I would definitely feel like a little piece of me was going home. Nowhere in Spain did I feel so comfortable. But that isn't the only reason I'm going with five stars--that's the reason I'd be going with four. The people there and the service they provide are the reason I'm going with five stars.
There isn't room service, which in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, as you have a little kitchen and refrigerator, and you are encouraged to bring stuff in and cook/drink (though you don't have to clean any of the mess you make). You are provided coffee and a coffee machine, bottle openers, cups, glasses, silverware, plates, and other little things you won't realize you need until you need it. But Anna (the manager) at the front desk--who was not there when we had arrived and had not checked us in--apologized for the awkward check-in (even though we had not mentioned it or complained about it), and let us know that how we were handled was not okay with her. She had been extremely helpful over the phone and through email before we had arrived, and was even more helpful during our stay. Thanks to her and to her hotel/apartements, a little piece of us will always remain in Granada.
