Reviews of Posada Doña Lupe

06 October 2009 Stephen would recommend this property

Liked: Location, location, location. Right opposite the Alhambra - 2 mins walk to entrance, on a hillside with lots of interest and character. The 15 minute walk down into town was a joy, through beautiful gardens, alongside the Alhambra with something of interest round every corner. However, the return up the hill was, oddly, a different story! If you have your car, ook around for parking. The obvious place is in the Alhambra car park opposite but that charges 16.25 Euros per day. Go to the top of the hill - the other side of the mini-roundabout, facing the cemetry, unofficially gives free parking.The 2 English reception staff were very friendly & extremely helpful (Spanish was surly non-entity however). The rooftop pool was attractive but was so cold couldn't face using it. The balconies facing the Alhambra were wonderful. It's basic but clean. It's far from posh but is functional & fun. Being where it is, at the price it has to be outstanding value for money.

Liked: The location is good and most of the staff is friendly.But the rooms are in a very poor condition as well as the building itself.If you want to sleep for low money and poor conditions, than this is the place to be. We wouldn't recommend it.

25 September 2009

Liked: I like a view from the tarrace on the roof. Good place to go to Alhambra, very close, that true. I know that the quastion is "what did you like" but I have to write what I didn't, 'cause it's a bit important to people who don't like small&pokey places.... the rooms, are claustrophobic! You come in the room and you are almost on your bed . And the bathroom have a shower about 50x50 cm. I think that not all rooms are like this, but no. 101 for sure.

10 September 2009 Claire would recommend this property

Liked: Surprisingly awesome. Neat, plain rooms, but the location (about 15 min walk to centre) but right next to Alhambra, was perfect, and the roof top pool was an absolute star on a hot day. Little gold nugget of a find, if you don´t mind a slightly unkept, but nevertheless clean hotel.

07 September 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It is very good if you want to visit Alhambra since it is very close to the main entrance but consider that you have to take a bus to go to the city centre and the last one is at 11p.m. We took a double room, it was very small and its bathroom as well but, very important, it was clean. The bad was o.k. but a bit short, so if you are more than 1.80m it might be a problem. The swimming pool on the roof was nice. Not everyone at the reception was speaking English. All in all I will recommend this place and I will go probably back there.

Liked: Loved this place, great location for exploring the Alhambra. Some people may prefer to stay closer to Granada central, but i loved the walk down the hill through the park to the centre. Would definitely stay there again!

15 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: the pool is great and has shade...the people who work there try to be helpful...it´s right next to the Alhambra entrance which is absolutely amazing for the price...beware...it´s not really nice...only the pool and patio and location...it´s the bare basics and even some of those things will go wrong...i had to change room bc of leaks in the ceiling during rain and my new room was in a stairwell and smelled like a sewer...however, i would stay there again bc of the price and the location is fabulous

13 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: On entering this building it appears a bit run down and grotty. Staff spoke good English and were friendly and helpful. It is not centrally located however it is two minutes' walk from the major tourist destination the Alhambra. The centre of Granada is about 30 minutes walk down a steep hill. If you have driven to this place you will need to consider parking. The nearest parking we could find was expensive (30 euros for two days) and was 10-15 minutes walk from the hostel. The place was nice and clean with TINY toilets and showers in the double room - if you are close to six foot tall your knees will touch the door when sitting on the toilet. The internet is available for free on one computer near reception and there is also free WIFI. Rooms are secure (with good locks and bars across the windows) however there are no lockers available for storing valuables. The best feature of this place is the medium sized pool on the roof top and the roof top terrace which is a nice place to hang out in the evenings.

09 July 2009 rita would recommend this property

Liked: i dont think that you could stay in such a prime location in any other city for this price. The added bonus was the fact that i had my own balcony, single rooms are so often small and facing a wall etc (and you pay more for this). I had read a few less than welcoming reviws about this hostel, but i have to disagree with them. The hostel staff were polite and helpfull, and my room was very clean.

19 June 2009

Liked: Fairly close to the city but up a massive hill. Pool was great after the long walk up the hill....although arctic in temperature. Great place to stay if you just want to visit the Ahlambra. V cheap. Rooms only cleaned if you stay longer than 3 nights.
