Family of 4 stayed here in Jan 2008 for 2 nights on an internet deal from Melia. Previously stayed at the chain's Gran Fenix in Madrid.
Followed ViaMichelin website directions and found Hotel relatively easy, however, a potential nightmare without directions.
1st job was to drop off car at the Rail Station so have no comment about parking. Concierge gave good directions to Station which we followed perfectly until alomost the end. Noted that when the staff deliberated over directions they seemed to raise the fact that all the streets (being a tourist zone) are under close circuit TV and you can get booked if you just driving around after getting to the Hotel. Your number plate is targetted.
This is a tourist hotel and doesn't try to be anything different. Approached on that basis you probably will find it good value.
One of the 2 rooms was not very good. Bathroom was best described as a cubicle ensuite with a vanity the size of 1 single basin. Noise from hallway and lifts was exceptional. Big drawback was the Hotel heating which you couldn't seem to turn down or off. Our window faced an airshaft (which I personally think allows for a quieter night) so we left the window open - until someone checked in at around 1.30am and proceeded to yell the house down.
Ate in Hotel Restaurant both nights and had a great Paella. Other meals were well received. Breakfast was excellent. Internet connection was reasonable. Staff were excellent.
Reason for going to Granada is the same for most - La Alhambra. Can't find much to favourably offer Granada in comparison to Segovia, Avila, Toledo etc other than Alhambra. Dropping the car off and getting lost and walking back to hotel enabled me to see other parts of the town. It ain't pretty. Although night time and lighting hides its uglier side. On check out we had seen enough of Granada and were reasonably happy to be leaving.
Based on the deal we got and a walk past some of the other hotels would lead me to recommend this Hotel to other families - only if you get it on a good deal. If you don't like the first room you get ask for another (assuming they're not booked out).
Had coffee and tea break at the Parador (undergoing rebuild/renovations). It looked to be the benchmark for this town.
