In the buzzy riverside area of the Albayzín, this pleasant three-star occupies a tastefully restored 16th-century mansion. Expect stone floors, wood beams and 13 character-filled rooms, the best of which have Alhambra views. There are plenty of eating and drinking options nearby, hence a bit of evening noise.
