What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I had a lovely experience! The hotel was extremely clean and the staff was incredibly helpful and kind. Every morning breakfast was delightful. I felt welcomed and so comfortable during my stay. I would absolutely recommend staying at this beautiful location.”
“I liked the hotel building, interior and the overall service (desk, breakfast, cleaning) very much. The only thing was the location of our room just above the entrance (room 209). We had to close the window as of the streetnoise later in the evening. The movements outside on the street of the garbage trolleys on wheels are making a lot of noise, people even move those big garbage trolleys very late in evening, around 23:00 clock.”
“Great location, charming room and facility. Breakfast was good. There is an advertised bar with a menu posted outside but it was never open the 3 days we were there. Not sure why. The location is close enough to many options though so it really wasn't a big deal.”
“Had a wonderful stay here in Granada. The hotel has a lovely ambience and a very convenient location, making it easy to explore the city. The breakfast was wholesome and a great way to start the day. What truly stood out, though, was the incredibly helpful staff — they went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, even helping arrange taxis for our early morning visit to the Alhambra. Overall, the hospitality was excellent and made our trip even more enjoyable. I would happily stay here again the next time I’m in Granada.”
“We enjoyed our short stay very much at this hotel which is located brilliantely in the center of Granada. The room was comfortable and offered everything we could ask for. We would stay again here during our next visit to this place.”
“Thanking Sercotel Palacio de los Gamboa for a wonderful experience. 10/Liked: Sercotel Palacio de los Gamboa is excellent, and nothing was left to be desired from arrival to departure. We were very happy with the excellent service for the duration of the stay. All Sercotel Palacio de los Gamboa employees were very friendly and went above and beyond to help create unforgettable experiences in beautiful surroundings.”
