We arrived at 2 pm. We don’t get the room till 8 pm! We were told 10 more minutes every time. We left and came back at 5 and it still wasn’t ready. Again we were told any moment now. We left again, coming back at 7.30 and waited till 8 to get the room finally. Wasted our entire day. Absolute disaster.

Cool room layout, with a nice view overlooking the stream running through town. The view of the Alhambra was limited, but the view in general was charming. Walls were a bit thin, but in general the hotel was quiet. Great and very helpful staff. Superb adjoining coffee place with great food.

I had a wonderful stay at Shine Albayzín! The location is truly exceptional — just a short walk to the Alhambra and the Hammam, which made my trip to Granada so comfortable and enjoyable. Antonio was especially kind and helpful throughout my stay, and I’m really grateful for his support. If I could make one small suggestion, it would be to have thicker curtains, as a bit of light came in from the hallway at night. Other than that, everything was perfect — highly recommended! ⸻ Tuve una estancia maravillosa en Shine Albayzín. La ubicación es realmente excelente: a pocos minutos a pie de la Alhambra y del Hammam, lo que hizo que mi viaje a Granada fuera muy cómodo y agradable. Antonio fue especialmente amable y servicial durante toda mi estancia, y estoy muy agradecida por su ayuda. Si pudiera hacer una pequeña sugerencia, sería tener cortinas un poco más gruesas, ya que entraba algo de luz del pasillo por la noche. Por lo demás, todo fue perfecto. ¡Muy recomendable!

The room, staff, and location were all fantastic. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us, which was lovely after the long trip to get there. Clerk gave me some great recommendations, they were very communicative prior to our arrival and the view from the room was great. Loved the courtyard. Only one issue was the strange light above the door that we had to drape something over so it didn't keep us up all night. Everything else was fantastic. They were even nice enough to hold our bags for us while we toured Alhambra, even though we checked out in the morning.

Best authentic riad living with views of Alhambra

Every time we come to Granada, we stay here. When my wife and I eloped in Granada, it was this hotel that we stayed at. The suite has the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in since being in Europe. Everyone on the staff are professionals and so nice. We will always stay at Hotel Shine each and every time we come to Granada, our home away from home.

First Time I taken the time to review a hotel, however I am making an exception for Shine Albayzin. Excellent customer service. Was greeted by Antonio who made sure I had the location of all the best restaurants, tourist attractions and local shopping. Antonio even recommended us a Flamenco show which was excellent. The location of the hotel is excellent. It is located in the heart of the city, shopping and food. Taxi service is easily accessible, however everything is within walking distance. The room was incredibly spacious and included those beautifully accented touches you can only dream of. From the room you can enjoy views of the Alhambra. The bed exceptionally comfortable. Would recommend and will stay in the same room when traveling to Granada again.
