We had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The staff were courteous, the rooms were clean and relatively spacious, the price is quite fair, and the breakfast is a helpful start to the day, but not as great (in our opinion) as some other reviewers suggest. It's a bit idiosyncratic: fish sticks some mornings, meatballs others. The hotel definitely feels like a chain, equivalent to a Marriott, but this was fine with us. It was also nice not to be on the main plaza, as that stayed rather noisy past midnight, whereas the Melia is only a couple of blocks away, yet worlds quieter. There are several good restaurants within walking distance, including Puerta del Carmen and the bocadillo restaurant across the street. The one thing we would advise against is the hotel's offer to arrange trips to the Alhambra at an insane markup: The guided tour plus bus ride is 39 EUR/person. The public bus up to the Alhambra is 1 EUR, admission is 10 EUR, and audio guides are 3 EUR. Skip the hotel markup and spend the extra money on a nice lunch at the Parador!

All in all, a nice hotel. Currently writing this review from inside the hotel. Which means free hi-speed internet access in the rooms for those who bring a laptop. Bonus points! Our room is on the small side, but has a comfortable double bed and the room is very nicely appointed and clean. The location is near perfect, being downtown and 5-10 minutes walk to the Cathedral and/or Plaza Nueva, which is where the Alhambra bus leaves from. Also many nice bars and eateries in the immediate area. Just had an excellent dinner tonight at Alhabaca which is less than a 5 min walk away from hotel. The total price for dinner, including a glass of wine, was 11 euros per person. Phenomenal deal with an excellent dinner and setting. I would not hesitate to stay here again, although not too impressed with the 15 euro daily parking charge. But with pretty good room rates from the Sol Melia website, it still works out to be a good deal.

Great hotel at a great locationj with very good buffet bkfst, what more can you ask for.

This hotel is very nice, it is located right in the heart of Granada yet just enough out of the way for it not to be noisy. It was in easy access to the bars and restuarants which were just around the corner.

The standard rooms are fair in size, and in excellent condition. The staff were polite and organised although leave some time for checking out on a sunday morning... it was very busy.

Breakfast was excellent! I would definately stay there again.
