Beautiful hotel, all staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent food. Fantastic views from the lounge and restaurant area.
First class stay!
Really nice hotel with an excellent breakfast and fabulous bar. Only complaint is that the solid tiled floors make it a bit noisy between corridors and rooms.
The view amazing, great food, rooms need to be soundproof as you can barely sleep, you can hear all noises from the outside of the hallway, and upper rooms. Other than that its a great place to stay and enjoy the snow

Very nice, well located hotel. The rooms are a little dated and wifi non existent but the breakfast is lovely and common areas comfortable.
A Sierra Nevada nice boutique hotel very well placed close to Plaza Andalucia. Everything was great except that the WiFi didn’t function in the sleeping room
Fantastic location for easy access to the ski slopes and the main underground carpark. We arrived on opening day of The Mountains Hotel (formerly The Ziryab). It now has a beautiful new reception, bar and dining room with great breakfast buffet. Rooms are still old spanish style but spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable.
I loved the Mountain Hotel. Breakfast was amazing, the staff very attentive, the public areas are beautiful and very comfortable and it has the best views in Sierra Nevada.
My only criticism is that there are not balconies in the bedrooms and the rooms are a bit basic but the shower was the most powerful I have ever used. Overall I loved the experience and I will be back.
It is a great property. Good service. Just need to improve q few things

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The entrance, lobby and bar were lovely but the room was very dated, holes in walls and peeling wallpaper. Very ugly decor and not what you’d expect from a hotel. I wouldn’t recommend staying there but visit for a drink instead.
Hotel reception and social areas are fantastic. The rooms need an update! bathrooms are old. The room was clean no issues there just very dated unlike the social areas they were amazing
