5-Star Hotels in Andalusia, Spain

I recently stayed at Eurostars Palace for 3 nights, and this time we chose the Junior Suite for our stay. The room was very spacious, and having a separate bedroom made such a big difference. It meant I could read a book or watch TV in the living area without disturbing my partner while they rested in the bedroom. I especially loved the wardrobe area, which gave us plenty of space for our large luggage and belongings. We also decided not to include breakfast this time because the hotel’s location is so convenient, there are many great breakfast spots within walking distance. One lovely touch was the complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival, which felt very thoughtful and welcoming. I would also like to give a special thank you to Susana from the City Expert team, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. She gave us excellent recommendations on places to visit, where to dine for lunch and dinner, and what to expect in Córdoba at the beginning of May. Well done, Susana — your hospitality really enhanced our trip. Overall, our stay at Eurostars Palace was wonderful and made our Córdoba experience even more memorable. The hotel is perfectly located near the Old Town, the Jewish Quarter, and the Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba. We even enjoyed stunning views of the city from our room on the 13th floor. Thank you to the whole team for treating us so warmly and making our stay such a pleasant one.

We spent four unforgettable days and three nights at the Seda Club Hotel in Granada. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, with Ms. Martha providing a warm and welcoming reception that instantly made us feel at home. The personalized check-in process with Martha was exceptional, complete with a welcome drink and detailed information about the hotel's offerings and local attractions. Her kindness, patience, and respectful demeanor left a lasting impression. The breakfast crew, particularly Rafael, were outstanding. Despite attending to multiple tables, Rafael provided swift and efficient service. We also appreciated his exceptional service during dinner on one of the evenings. Special mentions go to Pablo, who provided excellent service on our departure day, and Imma, who made our checkout process smooth and warm. The concierge team, who assisted us with our bags and escorted us to the taxi, were also noteworthy. The staff at Seda Club Hotel truly made our stay special. Our beautifully decorated hotel room showcased evident thought and attention to detail in its design. Every corner of the room featured fine touches and small details that added to its charm. One minor suggestion for improvement: the coffee and kettle cabinet was slightly cramped, and we were concerned that the steam from boiling water might affect the glass shelves and surrounding food. Overall, our stay at the Seda Club Hotel was truly memorable, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking exceptional service and accommodations in Granada.

The hotel is newly opened, the service is excellent, and there's parking available even for those with cars. The staff are very welcoming, especially the handsome guy who parked our car. He enthusiastically explained the location of the pool and the availability of rooms. The rooftop pool and restaurant are fantastic, especially the restaurant with its great atmosphere in the evenings. It's next to the cathedral, and the prices aren't too high. Overall, it was a very good experience, and I highly recommend staying here! It was the best hotel of our entire trip!

So, so satisfied! Definitely book a city view room; the view alone is worth the price. I initially booked a larger, newly renovated room, but when I got in, it faced the street, and the bathtub was visible to passersby. I negotiated a change to a smaller room with an older bathroom, but the city view was amazing, and it even had a small balcony where you could stand outside and look around. It was a little scary, but so good, and the night view was beautiful too. I didn't book breakfast because I was worried I wouldn't wake up in time. But the restaurant was so gorgeous that I just ordered lunch there. The foie gras burger was surprisingly amazing, and both burgers I ordered were delicious. One came with sweet potato fries, and the other with regular potato fries – both were great. It's rare for a hotel to have such good food in its restaurant, and the view is totally worth it. Completely satisfied, completely recommend!

The Áurea Washington Irving by Eurostars Hotel is inspired by the American author Washington Irving (writer of 'Tales of the Alhambra'), replicating the romantic ambiance of the 19th century. It's only about 400 meters from the Alhambra, with some rooms and terraces offering direct views of the palace. The hotel also boasts a collection of Washington Irving's first edition books. **Room:** The rooms are quite spacious for European standards and relatively new. The style is modern minimalist, understated yet with a touch of luxury. **Service:** The service is very attentive and warm. **Location:** The hotel is practically next door to the Alhambra, just a 2-minute walk to its entrance, and 10-20 minutes to the city center. **Minor drawback:** The only downside is that the hotel doesn't have its own parking. You have to park your car in a spot near the entrance first. After you unload your luggage, hotel staff will take your car to a nearby parking facility, which costs 20-25 Euros per night. When checking out, you need to inform the hotel at least 20 minutes in advance so they can bring your car back. Washington Irving, with his 'Tales of the Alhambra' (1832), directly transformed the Alhambra from a forgotten ruin into a world-class cultural landmark. Without him, the Alhambra might still be an obscure ancient ruin in southern Spain. So, history enthusiasts should definitely consider staying at this hotel.

I saw staff guiding foreigners to their rooms, even giving them flower rings upon check-in. Yet, for us Chinese guests, there was no guidance, no explanation of breakfast or Wi-Fi, and certainly no flower rings. After pre-checking in earlier, I was promised my luggage would be in the room, but when I returned exhausted in the evening, I still had to go down to the baggage area to find it myself. And don't even get me started on the long queues for check-in where not even a glass of water is offered. Forget comparing it to hotels in China; it can't even hold a candle to hotels in Cordoba, Madrid, or Barcelona. Besides the good location and interesting architecture, there's nothing else worth praising!

My stay at Marriott’s Marbella Beach Resort was truly one of the best parts of my trip to Spain. The resort is luxurious and perfect for families. The apartment was spacious, spotless, and fully equipped — including a full kitchen, washing machine, and a lovely balcony overlooking the gardens and pools. The location is excellent, right on the beach, in a quiet and safe area ideal for relaxation after visiting busy cities. The facilities are amazing — both indoor and outdoor pools are great, especially for kids. The staff were very professional, friendly, and always quick to help with anything needed. There’s also a convenient mini-market inside the resort and several restaurants and cafés nearby, making the stay very comfortable. Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a calm, upscale stay — I’d definitely return on my next visit

Everything at the hotel was great, especially the staff, who were warm and friendly and remembered guests' names, making us feel right at home. The restaurant was also excellent; both the food and service were a plus. It's not far from the old town (except for the churches and castles, of course), but the old town isn't worth exploring (old towns in Spain are all the same). It's better to spend your time at the hotel; the beach is just across the street, and the street has a similar feel to the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France.

The room was great! The hotel has a fantastic location, quiet and convenient. I was very satisfied with the breakfast; the environment was elegant, the staff were exceptionally welcoming, and there was a wide variety of choices! The price on Ctrip was even better than on the official website, highly recommended!

Extremely satisfied! I'm completely thrilled. I originally chose it because it's close to the train station, hoping to quickly escape the heat with my luggage, but I ended up falling in love with the place! This five-star hotel is truly excellent! Both the service and the hotel itself are fantastic. We paid an extra 80 Euros to upgrade to a suite. The hotel's pool is also very chill! You have to reserve seats in the morning, otherwise, there's no place to sit in the afternoon, as it's filled with British vacationers. However, after 5 PM, the pool gets cold as it no longer gets direct sunlight. The lobby offers iced water, champagne, and candies. In the room, there's a capsule coffee machine. It's a ten-minute bike ride to the old town and a five-minute walk to El Corte Inglés, which is much better for shopping than the old town's stores! The clothes in the old town look like they're for older women. There's also an Optica across the street where you can buy discounted designer sunglasses!
