"Good value in a great location "
	"The hotel was easily accessible thanks to an excellent minibus service. Its location next to the Alhambra meant that you felt closer to nature and it was quieter than in the town centre. The room was comfortable and well appointed, the staff helpful and the breakfast very good. " The best thing about Alixares was:"Location,room and breakfast. " The worst thing about Alixares was: "The towels weren't changed every day. "

"Exceptionally great value for money"
	"This is a really great value hotel ,clean and really well maintained- the staff were all really helpful and the pool was great (albeit a bit cool!) After a day exploring . whilst not in a central location there was easy access to the centre with a good choice of restaurants and bars on the doorstep. The main advantage was its proximity to the wonderful Alhambre Palace Would definitely book again" The best thing about Alixares was:"Fantastic value for money" The worst thing about Alixares was: "Not much really"
