Teapot in the room would be a nice bonus, though we didn't miss it much.
The hotel is quite modern with good facilities; bathroom was fine, having fridge in the room was convenient. We asked for a quiet room and got one with windows to the inner yard, no noise from the street or other rooms. Cafe on the upper floor is pretty good, had breakfast and lunch there (they don't have written list for menu del dia options, just ask the waiter). Location is good, close to historical centre and river Genil promenade; Recogidas metro stop (handy for bus and train stations) is a short walk away.

Nothing that we did not like really. Excellent value for money. We had a family room so we had a lot of space. Our daughter was in an adjoining room which was a single room and a little bit on small side but for a few days only it was perfectly ok.
We had breakfast on 2 days which was fine. Staff were obliging and friendly. Every effort was made to understand our English and our lack of Spanish (our fault). Restaurant staff in afternoon when we had tea/cake/wine were super. Location was brilliant as we spent all of our days walking around Granada area including Alhambra

Too noisy, imposible to sleep, you could hear everything. The room was hiper tiny, bed uncomfortable. I didn't like it at all, for a 3* hotel and 45€ p/n I was expecting much more. In the room there was a small window facing a wall, a bit claustrophobic.

Electricity had been out the day I checked in so it was very inconvenient. I couldn’t charge of cellphone and couldn’t unpack my luggage because I couldn’t see anything. Soundproof was really weak so I could hear everything from next room like snoring even chat.
It is very clean and the location is nice.
