Casa de los Migueletes is a very special, small hotel located on the edge of the Albaicin in Granada, just off the Plaza Nueva by the church of Santa Ana. The hotel was opened in 2003, the product of a lovely restoration of a medieval building in the ancient quarter. Inside is a serene courtyard around which are the galleries leading to the hotel rooms. Some of the rooms have terraces that face the Alhambra and the Albaicin. The terraces are a wonderful treat, and the rooms are beautifully decorated, with much obvious attention paid to details that provide charm and comfort. The staff is extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful. A generous buffet breakfast is served in a renovated wine cellar. If you want the atmosphere of old Granada without having to stay on the Alhambra hill or too far into the Albaicin, this is a perfect place. However, you should exercise caution and common sense when returning late at night. The hotel is located on a cobbled, side street that becomes rather isolated after dark. Also, beyond a certain hour (1am) the front door is locked, but there is always someone present at the front desk who will let you in.
