“Exceptional hotel, fabulous employees working there and in a great location. I loved the rooms; how nice and helpful the people working at the hotel were and how good quality the food and drink in La Santa Maria was. The rooms were super comfortable, clean and well appointed. I loved the pillow menu available and the ability to request things via the hotel app which was responsive and easy. In particular, I would like to thank Carlos (Mo) at La Santa Maria who looked after me very well and is a credit to the hotel, as all the employees are. The rooftop bar was fine but I felt it lacked a bit soul and energy and so preferred downstairs; that said, it is still a nice place to have a drink. I’d highly recommend this hotel and hopefully will visiting again soon.”

“Well located in centre of city. It was a 25 minute walk, mainly uphill, to the Alahambra. Staff were efficient from check-in to departure. Room was a good size and very well equipped with free safe, fridge and kettle. Bathroom was great. The room was quiet. Breakfast well organised with so many choices. This is definately a hotel we would return to.”

“Breakfast was probably the highlight of our stay. The selection was very generous, and even near the end of breakfast service, staff continued restocking with fresh food. Hot dishes, such as omelettes, were cooked continuously to order, and the fruit portions were exceptionally generous. The hotel car park is quite tight, so I would recommend renting a smaller car, especially as the city itself is better suited to smaller vehicles. When leaving the car park, the automatic exit sensor was not working, so I had to get out of the car and call reception to have the barrier opened. The swimming pool and sun lounge area are quite small, with only around eight sunbeds available. During our four-night stay, we were only able to use the pool area once because of limited space. Other than the size of the swimming pool area, we had a very pleasant stay”

“We stayed in a Deluxe Room with Terrace. Room was nice and clean, the room itself is a little bit small for travellers with 2 large suitcases, but we made it work. Balcony was a nice size with a table and 2 chairs. The location was great with many cafes and shops nearby.”
