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.

Excellent location at the base of the historic district of Albaicin. Very walkable - many interesting historic sights nearby. Lots of bars and restaurants in the vicinity. Comfortable room with good wifi. Room was warm despite the colder nights. Enjoyed the complementary bottle of red wine!

Beautiful building and rooms. The city view room, with the balcony, are very romantic. Greg, the front desk guy, was amazing. He can help out with everything you need in Granada. Amazing cafe in the building for breakfast. I would stay here again.

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.

We had a great 2 nights in a very quiet room on the top floor. Very comfortable king bed and beautifully appointed bathroom. There’s a cafe on the ground floor where you can grab a good coffee and sandwich or pastry. Terrific location.

We were greeted warmly when we arrived . The reception staff were very helpful, booking Flamenco dancing, organising Taxi, advice on eating areas- all very good suggestions. The room was spacious and bathroom very clean. I couldn't see any parking and street very narrow, one way, but looks up at the Alhambra. Perfect

This hotel has a lot of atmosphere and character and is very well located opposite the Alhambra, many small restaurants and cafes and easy walking distance to the center of town. The front desk team are very enthusiastic about sharing their recommendations. One caution is to be wary about the rooms opening onto the inner courtyard. We moved to another room after the first of our 4 night stay and paid the extra to upgrade which we thought was well worth it. Overall a great hotel with wonderful staff.

Granada was my favorite city in Spain. This location was very convenient. We have a view of the Alhambra from our room. The hotel is right in the heart of the Albaicin neighborhood with lots of shopping and restaurants. The hotel is small but so amazing. It has an old charm but is remodeled with modern comfortable rooms. Loved it!

We only stayed here one night but wished we had stayed longer as there is so much to do and see in Granada. The hotel is located near the major attractions and there are numerous transportation options in close proximity should you want to make use of those, as well as a large number of restaurants. The hotel offers good accommodations at a very reasonable price. The real quality of a hotel is its staff and in this case you will find they shine. They were highly responsive and in our case promptly took care of an issue that was due entirely to an error on our part. It is easy to be good when things are going well the true mark is how situations are handled. The team at this hotel were outstanding. My thanks to all the staff for a great stay. We will certainly stay here again if our travels bring us back to Granada.
