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.
