Hotel Alcadima

We absolutely love The Alcadima Hotel. We stayed once before and when in the area always pop in for lunch or dinner. It's family run with wonderful staff. The grounds are gorgeous. I can't believe more people don't come in for a look around and to eat in the fantastic restaurant. The food is delicious. It's absolute bliss. The pool is amazing and meticulously clean. The staff are all so polite, friendly and kind. Can't do enough for you. We highly recommend breakfast. For 11 Euros it's so good and with a lots of choice. We had a look at two other hotels (up the street) for breakfast and they couldn't beat the Alcadima Hotel. Our room had a beautiful view of the mountains. We did have a little bit of trouble with the air con - it wasn't as cold as we hoped. We managed though and the staff did their best for us. It's not an ultra modern hotel. It's delightful and in keeping. Highly recommend the trip up to Trevélez and then on the way down take in other white villages i.e. Capileira, Pampaneira. Pampaniera is about 35 mins drive so an easy trip out for dinner if you fancy it. We always come back to Alcadima for it's fantastic hospitality. A highly recommended hotel. Do try the restaurant. You won't be disappointed. We love visiting Lanjaron - it's a lovely town with lovely restaurants and bars. Thank you to everyone at Alcadima.

A lovely, charming hotel situated in the centre of a spa town nestled in the Alpujarras mountain range and near Mulhacen, the highest mountain in Southern Spain where the local electricity is supplied by hydro power and crystal snow capped peaks are visible all year round even in Summer. The hotel is rustic yet extremely well looked after & is a lovely place to explore Andalusian region including Cordoba, Granada and Seville by train or coach. With good bus and coach services to local cities and towns and plenty of walking trails/routes nearby, the hotel and relaxing spa town have some lovely local places to enjoy including tapas bars. Comfortable spacious rooms, good breakfast and some with balconies facing towards Lanjaron Castle. There are beautiful views of hillside olive fields where wine and local oil are still produced by hand and traditional methods. The hotel staff are helpful, cheerful and knowledgeable. Bubbly water fountains, sun grown lemon trees and shaded courtyards overlooked by growing bright red geraniums make the hotel relaxing to stroll around and enjoy. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday with Ramble Worldwide and would like to see more of the region in the future and return again. A thoroughly memorable holiday in beautiful Southern Spain. Recommended, a charming hotel with delightfully pleasant gardens and a warm and sunny restaurant terrace overlooking the spa town of Lanjaron.

This was our second year at the impressive Hotel Alcadima, where the service is second to none. As a cycling club the amenities including a secure bike store perfectly suit our needs. Needless to say, we are already planning a return visit in 2025.

The hotel is immaculately clean throughout, public parts all well maintained. Our room was quite spacious, functional rather than luxurious, with a sunny balcony overlooking the swimming pool. A small fridge was very handy for drinks and snacks. But the real strength of the Alcadima is in its outdoor areas - the gorgeous pool and the surrounding shady nooks, quiet seating areas and walkways, all very relaxing. The restaurant is casual but elegant, offering a varied and very acceptable menu. Only a few hundred yards off Lanjaron's main street with all its bars and restaurants, the Alcadima is a great choice for anyone who has a reason to be in the area, and a destination in itself for a short break.

We visited this wonderful hotel as part of our early season cycling tour. The well maintained facilities served by courteous staff are first class with the bonus of secure bike storage and workshop. We visit the region on a regular basis and we were recommended the hotel by a local contact and we were so impressed that we are already planning a return visit in 2024.

Hospitality, this is the key to customer satisfaction and also the corner stone to running a business. I have read many of the reviews on this hotel since staying here and wish I had delved deeper before booking. Family run business….. not a wise choice to place the two grumpiest rude uncles on reception. On arrival a hand was held up to tell us to wait, obviously work on the computer is more important than a physical customer, not! Then a grumpy demand for passports and the attitude continued. Not a smile from either GOM during our two night stay. Even had to ask for a town map which was reluctantly handed over, a service which should be offered with a smile at check in, come on guys lift your game. Room was quite pleasant with a view over the courtyard. Shower curtain would be a good idea, save the daily floor flooding. Aircon didn’t work. Paper cups rather then glasses, really! At check out we mentioned the aircon didn’t work and was met with surprise. Must have been the previous guest setting it incorrectly we were told. No, we know how to control an aircon and it was broken. The fan was suffice on this Occassion but room did feel like a sauna every time we entered it from the cool passage. Breakfast was good and the lady running the area pleasant and smiley. We didn’t end up eating in the evening at the restaurant as the unhelpfulness of the GOM honestly put us off. I don’t usually leave such a detailed negative review, but if this business has been running for as long as it has its not from returning satisfied customers, it’s from first, and only time, users. All in all, give it a miss!
