Hotels in Centro, Granada

We stayed in Granada for two nights. Fortunately, we chose this hotel. We booked tickets for the Royal Palace three times, but we were notified of the successful booking in the early morning of the day before we left Granada. The Royal Palace session was randomly given at 16:30 in the afternoon. We went to other scenic spots in the Royal Palace in the morning, then returned to the hotel to rest, and went to the Royal Palace in the afternoon. This is because the hotel is in a favorable location opposite the Royal Palace. The hotel staff is friendly, the room is clean, spacious and comfortable, and the stay experience is pleasant.

We were delighted when we arrived - what a nice little hotel which we would classify on the “boutique’ side. Not many rooms, I think 10 in total and ours had a private bath. While the room itself was small it was very clean and all we needed for our one night stay. The hotel manager (didn’t get his name unfortunately) was very helpful with everything. If you are using Google maps to find the place, listen carefully as it had a bit of a hard time for us. Great stay!

My family stayed two nights in this hotel on a tour of Alhambra Palace. The outside common area of the hotel, including the dining room, was very well maintained and could deserve a 5-star rating. The rooms inside were a different story. We occupied two rooms. One was a “superior deluxe room,” and the other was a “classic city-view double room.” Both had the same price tag. The deluxe room was spacious and well-lit but had an odd arrangement with a useless bathtub in the center. Moreover, the room smelled of sewage when we entered the room—which I notified the management. They disagreed and claimed there was no sewage smell. I did not appreciate the response, as all four of our family members smelled of sewage. Nor did I escalate the issue, as our stay was short. The city-view room had a small window overlooking the city without much viewing space. The room was tiny, with two twin beds packed in the room, and was poorly lit. It felt like being in a prison cell. The shower doors in both rooms did not close fully, so the water splashed out. In short, both rooms were substandard and did not deserve the price tag at all. My recommendation to travelers is to stay elsewhere, and if you need to stay there, avoid the small “city-view” rooms and Deluxe Room #331 that smells of sewage. I got to love Spain and its people who are very friendly and helpful, but not this hotel.

When I arrived, the reception desk clerk never made an eye contact with me, gave me the key card and pointed to the left and said to go to the elevator, without ever looking at me. All right, I went to the left: the first elevator doesn’t go to the floor I need, I keep going, the second one- doesn’t go there either. The third one did. The 6 th floor gave off pretty bad smell, the toilet smell. The room small and everything dilapidated, I’ll attach pictures. Some kind of contraption on the window to regulate the blinds that goes only one direction ( see image), but worst of all, the A/C blows air all right, but just room temperature. Toilet seat either dirty or stained and looooong overdue to be replaced. So… that’s my experience.

AMC Granada is rated as a 1-star hotel, but it definitely didn't feel like it! The room we had on the 3rd floor was spacious, extremely clean, and the white walls complemented the sunlight that soaks in when you open the windows. This depends on what side of the hotel you're in, but we also luckily had the side where the windows faced Plaza Nueva. We were lucky to just open the windows and see flamenco across the street and even the procession going down the street when it happened while being away from all the craziness! The location is also prime to all the bus stops that'll take you to the Alhambra, Sacromonte, and walking distance to the nearby shopping, eats, and hammam baths! And huge shoutout to the manager at the front desk, Pilar. She was so helpful in getting us everything we needed including answering all of our questions, helping us coordinate our delayed luggage delivery, and even being patient with my broken Spanish which you don't need to know because she's fluent in English.

During this trip, I learned that Eurostar is a big brand hotel chain. As a hotel, it has an excellent location. This hotel is right next to the A Palace, and it takes 5 minutes to walk to the Na Palace. Turn right and there is a very good restaurant. The room is also relatively large. It is a trustworthy brand. It's a pity that we only stayed for one day. The road in front of the door is also very beautiful.

This really is an excellent Hotel and very good value for money. A very friendly welcome, with easy check in, the room was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. It’s central location is excellent for anywhere, the Cathedral is only a 10 minute stroll and there is a nice local’s area just round the corner called Plaza Campo Del Principe with a few bars and restaurants with a super atmosphere. Another plus point is the hair dryer in the room was excellent. A great stay.

For a four star hotel the restaurant was only 1 star which is why I marked it so low. We were only here for 2 nights which was long enough! We has dinner in the first night, what a mistake! There was a very poor choice of dishes, nothing was labelled so you had no idea what to choose. Staff were too slow to top up dishes. Breakfast was absolute chaos. Only 2 drinks machines with long queues at both. Poor selection of food that was not replenished quickly enough for volume of diners. Our room was acceptable but nothing special. The hotel is at the top of a steep hill with one or two shops a short walk away, but no bars and the drinks in the hotel are very expensive. The one thing close by is the Alhambra. There are also bus stops nearby along with the hop on, hop off train that goes around Granada. The hotel will order a taxi for you, around €5 down to the centre of Granada. The Alhambra is not to be missed and I'd recommend the train that goes around the city.

First the good points: The front desk was outstanding; gracious and helpful. The cleaning crew did a good job. The shower was fabulous. It was inexpensive. Location was good; on a quiet block with lots of eateries close by. Only one block from the ”eating street”. But this hotel badly needs updating. The hall way was dark with vinyl flooring that felt uneven underfoot. There was a musty smell to the room. Bathroom was oddly configured so that when seating on the toilet the sink was right in your face. We got a room with a private balcony. The room was large and spacious but there were no counters to put your stuff. Closets had no shelving. We put everything on the floor. In short this would not be my choice to spend vacation days in Granada.

A causa della nostra esperienza della prima notte non posso assolutamente dare piu' di 3. Vi racconto: arriviamo alle ore 14 e la ragazza delle pulizie era ancora intenta a pulire il ns mini appartamento al primo piano. Molto piccolo ma puo' anche andar bene tanto noi non mangeremo mai, ma un po troppo buio, c''e una zona finestra vista strada altezza occhi, quindi non si puo' tenere aperta, ma pazienza quello che rimango basita e' l'odore. La ragazza dice che i precedenti clienti hanno fumato. Mahh a me non sembra molto odore di fumo, ma siccome non siamo di grosse pretese, lasciamo gli zaini, loro ci consigliano di lasciare aperto e far girare l'aria. Rientriamo alle 23. l 'odore non e' andato via, e assolutamente non c'è neanche un miglioramento cosa che doveva accadere se fosse fumo, ma piu stiamo dentro piu mi rendo conto che l odore e' di umidita' quindi non andra' mai via. Mi sento leggermente presa in giro ma con calma vado dall host che gentilissimo mi dice che fino a domani mattina purtroppo non ha una camera da darci. Allora abbiamo dormito li dentro perche oramai a mezzanotte era difficile andar via ma e' stata una sofferenza atroce. Mi ha dato molto fastidio la presa in giro. Loro sapevano benissimo e quindi cosa pensavano che fossimo degli stupidi??? Posso immaginare che fosse anche un problema recente, ma tu quella stanza non me la dai visto che ho anche una bambina di 8 anni! ma scherziamo. La mattina alle 8 siamo gia alzati con i bagagli in macchina in attesa del cambio appartamento che ci viene poi prontamente dato. Sotto questo punto di vista nulla da dire hanno fatto il massimo, ma io ci sono rimasta male solo per il fatto che ci abbiamo provato perche cmq lo sapevano, sono stati loro subito a dirmi dell odore e subito loro a dirmi che la mattina mi davano il cambio. Se fossero stati piu' corretti mi dovevano trovare una soluzione sin da subito! Veramente uno schifo star li una notte. Ripeto carini hanno fatto quello che potevano vero, ma avrebbero potuto a mio avviso fare di piu'. a parte questo devo dire che il secondo appartamento mansardato davvero carino a mio avviso un po piccolo perche quello sarebbe stato per 4, ma aiuto in 4 non ci si muoveva, hanno veramente studiato le misure al centimetro e mettono la cucina tanto per, non c'e' spazio per muoversi e mangiare. Quindi se prenotate in questa location considerate gli appartamenti piccoli A parte questo è situato comodo a 10 minuti dal centro e a 10 dall alhambra, Noi ci siamo sempre mossi a piedi. Per il parcheggio noi abbiamo trovato nella via, ma i parcheggi free sono davvero pochissimi e noi abbiamo avuto molta fortuna ma siamo ancora a giugno con pochi turisti.
