We stayed at the Melia based on Tripadvisor reviews and were quite happy with our choice. We found our room to be comfortable, with good lighting and a great bed. Our room faced the street and it was quiet. We had been traveling for some time before arriving, and appreciated having our car valet parked and our suitcases taken to the room. The staff at the hotel was friendly, helpful, and eager to please.

This is not a new hotel and although our room was "non smoking" there were cigarette burns on the furniture. The need for sprucing up however is minor overall -- the hotel did not look seedy by any means. We had been traveling and staying at small, charming hotels in each city and it was almost relaxing to just have a nice, regular hotel room in a convenient location at a great price.

I was concerned by the two previous reviews that I read before our trip regarding the temperature in the hotel room. I can't stand an overheated room. We did however find that we could regulate it by first turning off the heat (we made sure it was all the way off) and opening the window a crack if necessary. We were quite comfortable in this manner.

I thought the breakfast buffet was excellent. Although most of the fruit was canned, there was a delicious fresh fruit salad and fresh juice and numerous choices of cheese, eggs, frittatas, meats, great pastries, flan, etc. The coffee was excellent.

Considering the price we paid, 85 euros for a double including breakfast, we felt we got a great deal.

Finally, it is hard not to fall in love with Granada. Two days were not enough. We found an excellent restaurant for dinner on our last evening --Meson Casa Blas in the Albacin. Small, sweet, wonderful food. Another recommendation for seafood tapas is Los Diamontes Dos a few blocks down from the hotel. Lots of fun and inexpensive.

We would recommend this hotel for a comfortable stay in a lovely, lovely city. Enjoy.

We stayed at the Melia Granada for 3 days in November. You could see the snow on the Sierra Nevada Mountains from the town which was nice. The hotel is in a good central location and is a good 4 star hotel. Breakfast was more in keeping with a 3 stars, nothing special but adequate.

Our only complaint was with the room. The room is kept at a constant temperature of 22C and that was with the heating off. If you opened the window at night it quickly gets too cold. We had a room at the back of the hotel which we expected to be quiet. This was the noisiest room we have ever stayed in. All during the night we heard bins being wheeled around outside. Also several times during the night at about 2 hour intervals, we heard people congregated in the street talking and singing. One night we heard a car sound its horn at about 2 hour intervals. Could this be a meeting place for drug pushers or just hotel staff taking a break?

The hotel itself was fine with a good bar at reasonable prices. If we stayed again, we would not have a room at the back. The hotel has quite a few internal rooms but at least they should be quiet

We found a nice resturaunt called Atahualpa at Plaza Campillo Bajo. The owners were Spannish husband and English wife. They served excellent steaks and even took our photograph and e-mailed a copy home.

Coach from aiport to central Granada great and costs 3 euro's each unlike taxi which costs approx 20 euro's. Takes 20 mins. Arrived at Melia Hotel, Granada. Room was a good size and very clean. Bathroom was a little dissappointing and appeared as though it needed updating. Although the usuall toiletries were available.

Our view was of a brick wall however, we didn't mind this as the time spent in the room was to rest or sleep.

Aircon was a nuisance. Room was far too hot. The only way to regulate room temp was to turn it off and open window which did get a bit chilly during the night. We should have contacted reception but didn't so shouldn't moan too much.

Read reviews of hotel hence choosing to stay here and reviews suggest great breakfast. We would disagree. If you enjoy undercooked fried eggs and bacon stips, cold mushrooms (still in process of defrosting) plus a wide choice of spanish blood sausages together with tinned fruits rather than fresh then you may enjoy it. However, saying all this, overall it wasn't by any means bad. The waitresses seemed very pleasant and helfull especially with our 11 month old baby. The highchair was clean and were very accommodating regarding boiled water for baby's bottles.

The hotel is in a great location in the midst of it all and within reasonable walking distance to all attractions.

Public transport is very good and makes it easy to get around. The small buses cost very little therefore if short on a few penny's there's no need to use the sightseeing bus.

As we had a baby our choice of restaurants was restricted. All cafe's, bars and restaurants allowed smoking. Unfortunately we resorted to takeaways during all 3 nights because of this. In the day it's not so bad as you are able to sit outside but it was a little cold at this time of year.

Overall, the hotel was reasonable. Good for the money. May stay there again if decided to go to Granada.

Stayed one night having booked through Lastminute. We'd been touring around Andalucia. From the minute we arrived, early evening, to when we left, the following evening, the hotel could not have been more helpful. The worst bit was finding our way by car to the hotel but that's probably just me! When we left it seemed very straight forward. They parked our car for us (not cheap but worth it) as you don't need a car in Granada. Room was large,quiet, very comfortable with a good bathroom. We didn't eat in but restaurant looked good. As our flight didn't leave until 21.30 we were able to leave our bags in their secure luggage room all day and the car was brought round for us in the evening. All staff were very helpful and pleasant and many spoke english. Would certainly stay here again.

My daughter and I stayed two days on October at Melia Granada and I highly recommend it.
The location is great, close to everything. There are plenty of nice shops and restaurants (there´s an excellent pizzeria in the corner) and it´s few blocks from lovely El Realejo quarter.
The staff is very efficient and friendliness.
They booked for us a guided visit to the Alhambra that was worth its high price. The guide was extraordinary and we loved to see this outstanding place while hearing his explanations.
Our room was a standard one and it was quite little but cozy and very clean, as well as the nice and confortable bathroom.
Though it was facing the street, it was a super silent room.
As I have Melia Card, we had 2x1 excellent buffet breaksfast, with very polite staff there.
The only thing we missed was free business center, as other Melia hotels have.
If I return to this wonderful, magical and lovely city, that´s for sure I´ll go to Melia Granada.
