Guest Reviews

• Miguel (8/5): Muy economico y cerca de las pistas de nieve. - Tiene una buena ubicación, y honestamente el precio era "sospechosamente" economico. El lugar es limpio y cumple con la función. No nos gustó que la llave de la regadera nececita servicio pues uno tarda mucho en poner en temperatura adecuada. hay un punto donde un milimetro es la diferencia entre que el agua te congele o te queme la piel. El personal fué sumamente amable. Se puede llegar caminando a las pistas, pero es una distancia suficientemente incomoda para "cargar" con el equipo de nieve, por lo que sugiero dejarlo en consigna cerca de la pista.
• MARIA NIEVES (10/5): - Confortable y todo estaba según lo descrito en la página web
• Simona (2/5): Horrible experiencia - No sabíamos siquiera si podríamos entrar. Al llamar al teléfono indicado, se cortaba con un mensaje diciendo que solo trabajan de lunes a viernes. Al final tuve que buscar otro número en Google, y el hombre fue amable. Pero la habitación estaba terriblemente sucia, migas, cosas y pelusas por el suelo, cortina, sábanas, almohadas manchadas y llenos de polvo. Cuando entras te da una ola de calor porque están encendidos todos los radiadores... Tenedores y platos sucios... Aunque es barato para mi no ha valido la pena el disgusto. Y encima el colchón muy incómodo.
• Miguel Ángel (8/5): - Cocina bien surtida y limpia. Buena calefacción y agua caliente.
• Jesus Miguel (6/5): Funciona y Barato - Habíamos estado antes en estos apartamentos y sabemos a lo que vamos. Es una opción barata y decente que es lo que íbamos. Está cerca de la plaza. Si buscas algo súper chulo, con vistas o relajarte, este alojamiento no es lo que buscas. Si mejoran el establecimiento y demás sería más caro.
• Sebastian (4/5): No recomiendo - No recomendable habitacion sucia camas muy malas todo muy dejado
• Ruben (10/5): - Buena ubicacion
• DEYBI ALEXANDER (8/5): - Mejorar la televisión y tener o informar si hay servicio de wifi
• Antonio J. Almodovar (4/5): - llevamos mas de 10 años visitando estos apartamentos y la verdad esque van a peor, nos encontramos la habitacion con el suelo sucio de no haberlo barrido ni fregado , las sabanas con pelos . Mucho ruido por la noche entrando y saliendo gente joven, espejos rotos en los ascensores,en mi opinion van a peor.
• Rocío (10/5): Volvería - Un apartamento muy acogedor, limpio y con todo lo necesario, buena ubicación.
• Antonio (10/5): - .
• Amilcar (8/5): - Très bien pour faire du sport
• Guillermo (8/5): Fin de semana en la nieve - Apartamento con lo básico para pasar un fin de semana, con calefacción, pero espartano. Muy bien situado y con posibilidad de aparcamiento en el mismo edificio (recomendable porque a veces escasea en el exterior)
• Conchita (4/5): - Los apartamentos están bien situados.
• mauro (10/5): Bien, lo que esperaba - Cerca de la zona baja, parking adicional 15 euros, no había jabón, precio competitivo. Bien para un día en la nieve
• Louis (10/5): - Same as always, just what l need.
• Michael1983G (4/5): Just about ok.. - Make sure to book your car park before arrival to avoid disappointment. The ski cellar looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in years and the restaurant opens relatively late which means you either go to the centre to eat and rush to make the lift up before 19.45 or you walk a lot of stairs
• Jose (6/5): Buen servicio pero incómodo - Buen servicio del personal per el apartamento es incomodo, no hay un sofá donde descansar y los muebles son más bien incómodos.
• shane (8/5): Good trip - Good locations close to bars and ski lifts.. can be noisy at night
• Louis (10/5): - Just at 5 minutes from the center to go up skiing.
• MARIA JOSEFA (8/5): - Muy bien situado, el párking perfecto. Las camas no muy confortables.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - We wanted cheap and basic accommodation whilst skiing. Being out alll day we just needed bed and bathroom! Basic but good accommodation and very helpful staff. Just what we needed. Added bonus of the underground car parking.
• Agneta (8/5): Vintersemester - För det låga priset var det ett bra boende. Rummet var stort och mycket enkelt möblerat. Ganska enkelt att ta sig till liftarna,området är starkt kuperat. Väldigt trevligt skidområde. Med bil är det lätt att ta sig till Granada som är ett trevligt utflyktsmål.
• sarahcU1229LX (2/5): There was no room at the inn - We felt like Mary and Joseph staying in the stables. When we opened the door to our room, we were greeted by beautiful plywood walls and furniture constructed from particle board. The heat had not been turned on in preparation for our visit, so I had to keep my snow pants on to keep warm for the first hour of our stay. The sheets seemed to have been cleaned, although I found a long black hair in my bed. The blankets, on the other hand, had obviously not been cleaned -- there were several suspicious white stains on dark blue blankets... gross! When we asked for new clean blankets, we were handed what seemed to be a table cloth. The shower is built of more cheap wood paneling which is actively molding from the moisture. I found some yummy brown stains on one of the hand towels, so I placed that on the shower floor so that my feet wouldn't be in contact with the unclean conditions. There was no soap/shampoo provided. Although the kitchenette would have been nice to utilize for breakfast, I was scared to use utensils provided in an accommodation which was so obviously unhygienic and filthy. This was a sad, sad stay. I cried.
• Jodi (10/5): Great location! - I stayed here with my partner and our 12yo nephew. The apartments were easy to find, check in was quick and easy. The room was basic (if you want a fancy room then this wouldn’t be for you) but has everything you need, the bathroom was very clean, the kitchen was equipped and the view from the room was fantastic. An added bonus was that the room had underfloor heating so was cosy and warm after a day of skiing. Staff pre-booked lift passes before we arrrive (which we arranged via email) which saves time queueing once we got there. They also recommended a place for equipment hire. Very helpful. Overall a great stay, I would definitely stay here again.
• Hicham (6/5): Très bon emplacement m - L’emplacement de l’établissement est idéal, à une centaine de mètres des pistes de ski.
• reyes (4/5): Pésimo - El apartamento no estaba limpio. Camas incomodas, no hay wifi, gel o champú.
• TaniaK939 (10/5): excellent - I recommend the apartments. They are close to the bars and restaurants. The apartments are clean and the underfloor heating keeps them warm all day. The reception staff are very friendly. For budget accommodation I can not fault it.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Buena ubicación, necesita pequeñas mejoras - Buena ubicación, limpio en general pero la tapa del water necesitaba que la cambiaran. Era una habitación con 4 camas y un termo eléctrico con 10 minutos de agua caliente
• 832Lynda (2/5): Be very careful - If you book with the office attached to these apartments be very careful, I booked these apartments via booking.com for a 2 bedroomed apartment in Monte Gorbea. Upon arrival I was told we were in a different apartment [and only 1 bedroom] on the next road up and definitely not of the same standard, also health and safety issues..!! nothing was done to resolve the problem and booking.com also do not want to assist.. very unhappy and disappointed with the standard and services of both parties. We go every year to Monte Gorbea, so not to stay where you have booked is unacceptable unless we were advised or it is of the same standard in the same area.
• 705enzop (10/5): Super hôtel i love it - It was very good I love this hotel and the rooms are big and confort we passed a very good week in this super hotel near to the mecanical remontée. The garage is very big and have big places. The personal is super
• LoveTheSun71 (8/5): Great pit stop and location. - Stopped here for 1 night whilst on route to Granada Cracking location - just up the steps from the main square (2 mins walk) Parking was outside and the rooms were just the job, great value last minute booking Room was clean and tidy - no air con but this was not needed as it was cool enough at night
• joaquin (6/5): - El apartamento es bastante básico, pero suficiente para pasar unos días en la nieve. Ademas esta cerca de Pradollano.
• DAVID (6/5): - Lo malo es que no hay recepción, tienes que ir atoro hotel más alejado hacer el chek in y recoger la sala llaves
• Rafael (10/5): Cerca de todo - Muy cerca del centro, a 5 minutos andando de todo. Limpio y con calefacción radiante en la zona de entrada, perfecto para secar la ropa rápidamente.
• fatinhaalgarve (6/5): Weekend stay - Basic apartment close relatively to the slopes. Beds were very small but comfortable. In general, good value for money. We only had three glasses. Had to take quit showers as we ran out of water quite quickly.
• paulamaratona (8/5): Nice place - It is comfortable an warm apartment, very good location. Reception was nice and helpful. Few peaces to use in the kitchen. Furniture is somewhat old but the bed is nice and clean and towels clean and enough too.
• berruno (6/5): all fun expect for no wifi - so me and the wife never went to a ski resort, and for the first time we decided that this year is the year, we booked in GHM and went for a 3 day snow trip, it was really nice, sierra nevada has a real xmas touch and everything was how we expected, however, the house was not that clean, and it was a little bit messy, there was no wifi, and it had some loud people staying near us
• paulolivermcdowell (8/5): Snow snow snow - For a studio apartment, this was very large. Extremely clean and well equipped. Great location and close to the lifts. The car park was rather expensive at €15 a day. The reception is only open limited hours but the staff are very pleasant. No wifi as advertised.
• Petra (6/5): OK i förhållande till priset. - Helt ok i förhållande till priset. Bra läge. Knarriga våningssängar.
• Daniel (8/5): Un hotel muy limpio y acogedor. - Todo correcto, muy cerca de la pradollano, gente amable, limpio y completo, sin duda por el precio que tenía es una de las mejores ofertas para pasar unos días en la Sierra. Como punto negativo puedo decir que la calefacción para mi parecer estaba demasiado fuerte y la tienen bloqueada para que no lo puedas bajar, cuesta un poco dormir con la temperatura tan alta.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Apartamentos cerca de pistas - Las habitaciones son bastante amplias y con calefacción, incluso el suelo del baño tiene suelo "calefactado". La cocina estaba bien equipada, con sartenes, loza y cubertería.
• paula (6/5): apartamentos nuevos y básicos - todo correcto, muy básico pero nuevos. las mantas un poco regu
• Sarah (6/5): Service???? - Das Hotelzimmer ist ok und für eine Nacht in Ordnung. ABER: Genaue Vorgehensweise beim Check-In musste bei anderen Gästen erfragt werden. Der Hotelbesitzer ist nicht vor Ort und der Zimmerschlüssel befindet sich in einem Save. Soweit kein Problem. Den Code des Safes erfährt man bei Anruf des Hotelbesitzers. Allerdings spricht dieser kein englisch und legte den Hörer auf, als ich sagte, dass ich kein spanisch spreche. UNHÖFLICH!!!
• Pär (6/5): Gångavstånd till liftarna - Billigt hotell nära backarna och restauranger 😀😀😀😀😀😀😊😁😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
• Christian (6/5): Bra för skidåkning - Kul att åka skidor i Sierra Nevada. Isgata på förmiddagen, sorbé på sena eftermiddagen, men ändå, på det hela taget ett bra skidställe. Inte i paritet med de bättre alporterna, men på en annan nivå än fjällen. Solen är mkt stark redan i februari. Trevligt, men snötäcket kan decimeras relativt snabbt så man kan ha otur med skidåkningen. Lägenheten var sparsamt utrustad och möblerad, men fungerade väl och låg förhållandevis nära liftar och annat.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Du får vad du betalar för - Svårt att hitta till hotellet då det hade annat namn och gatorna inte var bekanta för alla i byn. Elen var inte påslagen på morgonen och receptionen var inte bemannad förän 9. Vi lyckades dock slå av/på strömavbrytaren så att elen startade igen. Helt OK hotell för en bra peng. Ligger riktigt bra till. Riktigt dålig service i receptionen då den även var en skiduthyrningsshop med arga herrar som stirrade och inte var behjälpliga.
• Seatizen_Pete (8/5): Not luxurious but decent. - Apartments are clean and warm though there was a smell of stale tobacco throughout (these are supposed to be non smoking apartments) and most importantly less than 5 minutes walk from the main gondola. After reading some terrible reviews on ta we were nearly going to go somewhere else but I'm glad we didn't. Complaints about noise seem unreasonable as the soundproofing is really good and we are here at one of the busiest times is the year. Also read complaints about the TV but we had a large modern flat screen with a reasonable choice of channels - mostly Spanish of course. We had a 4 person studio for the 2 of us so the space was good. With 4 it would be cramped. There is no sofa, just a kitchen table 4 chairs and 2 beds, one with a pull out other bed underneath in the main room. The 4th bed is folded in the entrance hall and if opened will prevent opening the front door so not an ideal situation in case of emergency. For 2 though, no complaints. On site parking a real bonus.
• luis (6/5): Recomendado para unos días a buen precio - Pues la ubicación es buena, está bien para pasar unos días, no demasiados. La calefacción estaba muy bien, ideal para cuando llegas de la nieve. El parking también muy bien y en el mismo edificio. Las cosas negativas fueron que apenas contaba con una ventana a un patio interior, el menaje de La Cocina era escaso, nos tuvimos que arreglar para la cena de nochevieja como pudimos. Y lo peor de todo fue que aunque en la reserva especifiqué que quería una cama de matrimonio nos encontramos con dos camas. Una de ellas era de cuerpo y medio y algo comoda, pero la otra era para un niño, tenía una altura diferente y un colchón bastante incómodo. En general creo que mi pareja y yo repetiríamos pero sin lugar a dudas intentaríamos que nos cambiarán la cama la próxima vez.
• snooty (2/5): Non findable cancellation through booking.com - I booked an apartment at GHM Gorbea through booking.com and had to cancel. They took the full payment from my account immediately and have refused to refund it despite me giving them 3 weeks notice. When I took this up with them they were very unhelpful and rude. They are total thieves. Do not book with them and judging by the other reviews are over priced and a complete rip off.
• Inma (10/5): - Todo normal
• Verified traveler (8/5): todo bien - Todo bien
• HaydnL (8/5): Basic and good value apartment for 2 singles - Basic facilities but hot shower and warm floor in the bathroom were great. We were there for the skiing and eating out at the tapas bars so this cheap accommodation suited us fine. Would be happy to return.
• Viajarpelomund (2/5): Bad Bad Bad - The rooms are bad and with no maintenance, it was raining on the room and bathroom, the hot water was not enough, I have complained about all of this but without succeed. The only thing that was high was the price....it was a horrible stay, a place to do not comeback for sure.
• Not Provided (6/5): Skidor i Sierra Nevada - Helt ok för kostnaden. Läckte vatten från beredare som gjorde att toalettdörren blivit skev o fick ha teknik för att stänga. Trång dusch o svårinställd. Men det var skidåkningen vi var ute efter o billigt boende o då var detta helt ok.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Razoável. - Simples, mas amplo, com bom sistema de aquecimento e limpo. Não tem internet .
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good for the price. - I think this is a very good option for staying at Sierra Nevada, considering the price . We rented an apartment for 2, it was very small, basically a kitchen with a double bed and a bathroom. We knew from the start what to expect, and that was what we got. We went for a snowboard trip, so we only needed a place to sleep and not much else. The room was clean, floor, kitchen tools, towels, bathroom, etc. The heater worked great and all the appliances as well. It's also relatively close to the cable cars that takes us to the ski park. It took us less than 5 minutes by foot. On the negative side, we had to pay extra for a parking slot(15€ a day), which we found very expensive. The view from the only window was ridiculous, we could see a little bit of the mountain, but mainly we only saw walls and roofs. The walls are paper thin, so we could hear everyone around us, which sometimes can be an issue with particularly loud Spanish people. If I return to Sierra Nevada, I defiantly consider this hotel again.
• caroline (4/5): Room for improvement - No sign on apartments so very difficult to find.Limited hours to check in so long queue.Room not ready at 4.00. Double room is a single bed with a pull-out. No cooking utensils except frying pan, no jug on coffee/tea maker. Broken heater dial, leaking shower and lights in the corridor that go out at any time leaving you in pitch darkness. Impersonal
• Viajarpelomund (2/5): Really Bad and expensive for the value - Water infiltrariam on the bathroom and hall and it was not solved after the complain on the reception, the water was all over the apartment for the last 2 days of our stay. The apartment was cold and there was not enought heat water. It is expensive for the value
• Teresa1976_13 (8/5): One night stay - when we arrived, after four pm, as between 2 and 4 the staff have their lunch break, we went to reception and was told to ring a number as the hotel has a few different operators in there. The man Ricardo met us within 15 mins and showed us to our apartment and then let us in the car park under the apartments which was free of charge, he was so helpful and gave us some recommendations of where to have dinner that night. The room is very basic but as we were there for only one night it suited us fine. In the hall there was two bunk beds against one wall and the other side was the bathroom which was clean and a built in wardrobe. The water pressure and temperature of the water in the shower was good and there was a mobile heater to keep it warm. The main room had a single bed which underneath you pulled out another one and then on the other side there was a sofa bed. Small kitchen area and a small TV on the wall. Again there was a mobile heater in the main room which threw out loads of heat, unfortunately we forgot to turn them down when we went out so when it came to sleep the room was so hot even opening the window didn't seem to cool it down! I suppose if you were ski-ing (we were not) it would be crapped with all the ski gear and more than two people staying in the room. Check out is 11 am and you need to contact your hotel representative to let you back out of the car park again, keeping in mind it has to be before 2 or after 4 pm.
• JOHNNY_b0y_1969 (6/5): not too bad - Stayed here just after Xmas Dec 2013..myself, wife and two children under 12. These apartments are rented out by several companies...It would appear that we chose the company that spoke zero English(via booking.com) which was a bit of a problem for us with our Spanish phrase book. Thankfully one of the other companies (AG apartments?), who have on site reception there were able to translate over the phone (you have to call them when you arrive). He was also able to tell us how to get in and out of the building which the other lady didn't bother to tell us (probably could be bothered due to language barrier) But these apartments are in a good location only a few mins walk from the ski hire shops and lifts. We used Luis Sanchez sports for ski hire which was excellent at the bottom of the steps in the resort from these apartments. They held the skis overnight so you didnt have to worry about the plod back with ski boots on...massive plus...also spoke good English. Main gripe with the stay here was the noise. Jeesus, I swear you could hear the doors being slammed from floor 1 right up where we stayed on floor 8. Spanish coming in at all times up to 3:30am. 3 nights without any decent sleep. As other posters have said, its pretty basic and clean but fine if your happy with no thrills. Cheaper than most as well. Couldnt work out the thermostat which seems to have a mind of its own, but was very warm inside, and you could open the window if it got too hot.
• sarahjbh1 (4/5): AT BEST IT WAS AVERAGE... - We often stay in Pradollano as we ski regularly and enjoy the whole ski thing... we could get into our usual accommodation so we tried GHM. Positive - apartments were clean Bad - Couldn´t check in until 5pm and then we had to wait for 1 of our rooms Manic floor heating that meant you had to open the windows and let in -10 breeze to keep the room bearable. No controls for heating. Leaking taps and broken shower. "1 bedroom" apartment was a generous description... our bedroom door wouldn´t shut unless we moved the bed....which was marginally smaller than the bedroom! A fifty euro charge if you didn´t do your washing up.... which they don´t check as we had dirty cups etc So if this was an economic choice or loads cheaper than a hotel then I probably wouldn´t be writing this but we paid 40 euros overall less than an aparthotel with none of the above problems. Plus these apartments are a very decent up hill walk away from ski lifts etc. I wouldn´t choose to stay here again because there aren´t any benefits over many hotels in the same resorts....
• eatoutdude (8/5): Ski-ing experience to remember... - When booking this accomodation we were looking for something economical with comfort and good facilities in mind also. We were met by our representitive Antonio who was very welcoming and professional in his manner. He explained everything to us as far as facilities etc. The apartment was ideal for us as a couple. Very clean and spacious. We wouldn´t however recommend this to anyone other than a couple or a family of four. Access to the bathroom was via the room containing the bunk-beds. We slept in the lounge on the sofa-bed which was very comfortable and spacious. The facilities in the apartment were more than adequate with most things provided. For anyone who would like anything other than Spanish TV, we would recommend taking an IPAD or Laptop with them so they can watch programmes or listen to radio in their own language as the apartment is equipped with WiFi (own Wireless router) and the code is given on arrival for you to access the internet. We wouldn´t recommend staying during "Semana Blanca" (White SKI Week for Schools) when the young teenagers have there vacation and can be very noisy. Check dates on the Internet as to when this would be. For information we stayed 5-8th March 2012 (Monday - Thursday). The location was near to the Gondola´s which took you to the Piste, albeit quite a trudge down and uphill when you have your ski-equipment to carry (kept in apartment as no storage facility). On the whole we were very happy with the apartment and good value for money. Ideal for those on a budget. Our experience overall was fantastic. We will however be looking for somewhere within the Plaza next year so we are right next to the Gondola´s with little distance to carry our equipment.
