Hotel Alixares

The close proximity to public transport and the Alhambra.

We paid extra for a terrace with a view. The trees were too close and too high to enable a view. The instructions on how to operate the room safe were different to the instructions on the safe. The A4 sheet of paper detailing Hotel “rules” was obviously very out of date. Started by telling us that the “Boy” who had shown us to our room would have shown us the usual services of the hotel and point out where we were to go in case of emergency. We found our own way to the room! Several needless notifications about not smoking in the room and to keep the ashtrays clean! Not to put tissues or handkerchiefs over lights. To ensure that the cardboard, paper or plastics tulips do not come into contact with bulbs. (Obviously not real). Presumably we should have had some in our room. The bathroom was very basic. Spacious yes but nowhere to put a wash bag. No shaving mirror. No tissues. The thinnest toilet paper we have encountered. Breakfast was passable, totally self service including hot drinks from a machine. Tried the a la carte menu which was good. Not a big choice, but at least hot. Also tried the buffet, had a cold buffet because the hot was also cold. This hotel should never have been accredited 4stars. Can only think that it’s proximity to the Alhambra and possibly views from other rooms gave it that rating. Would never ever stay there again.
