We have just returned from 5 nights at this hotel and can recommend staying here when visiting Granada.

The hotel is ideally situated in the centre of the modern city. It is in a narrow pedestrian only street, so road noise is minimal. However, you will get noise from the many tapas bars all along the street, the early morning street cleaning and movement from other rooms in the hotel. If you have problems with noise then maybe its not the place for you (unless the rooms at the back are quieter), if you don't mind the hustle and bustle of this great city then you could do much worse.

The staff are very friendly, helpful and speak English (and tollerate our bad Spanish). The rooms are clean and functional (small) with good bathrooms and small balconies overlooking the bars in the street. The breakfast was good. If you are lucky good rates can be obtained from a variety of sources.

Stay in a large, quiet and more expensive hotel if you prefer, but for price, location, friendliness and atmosphere this hotel is hard to beat.

Great location just a short walk to Plaza Nueva. Lively street with wine and tapas bars (probably noisy if you have a room on the front). Plaza Bib-Ramblas just round the corner also a good spot for food and drinks and for exploring Morrocan souks and other interesting streets. Very good breakfast buffet compared to others we experienced in Andalusian hotels. Helpful and friendly staff who spoke good english.
Cons: we booked a double room but were given a twin which was very small and pokey. We saw other rooms (doubles) through open doors which looked much better than ours.
The sound proofing through the walls between rooms was also very bad so anyone walking with hard shoes and all bathroom usage was extremely noisy from neighbouring rooms.

Navas Hotel in Granada. We have just had a wonderfull holidy in Granada, spending 3 nights at the Navas Hotel. The hotel is in an excellent position on a quite traffic free area with tapas bars around.The staff are fiendly and very hepfull. The bedrooms above average....we could see the Alhambra from our window, across the roof tops. The cathedaral is only a few minutes walk, as are all the other favourite places to see. We want to return to Granada again and would definetly stay in the Navas.

I'd agree with other tripadvisor reviews that this is a solid 3 star hotel. Yes, the walls are a little thin and you can hear the hustle and bustle of the street below, but this really didn't bother us at all. We paid around £35 per night including breakfast.

We got the bus from the airport for 3Euro. It waits for the plane to arrive. Friendliest bus driver, who not only shouted when we got to the right stop but then gave us directions to the hotel too - the pedestrian street is just off the town hall square that's got some odd looking face sculptures in it. Walk back in the direction the bus has just come from for two mins and it's on the right.

Why have no other reviews mentioned the free tapas with every drink in the bodegas? Could be anything from a few king prawns to a serrano ham bagel with fries!

Still managed to squeeze in more food:
Chikito, 9 Plaza Campillo. Popular restaurant, renowned for serving local specialities and local cured ham
Bodegas Castaneda, 1 - 3 Almieceros. Good central location just off the Plaza Nueva. Typical bodega whose decor is enhanced by the myriad of bottles on display. Delicious tapas, hams and cheeses.
Kasbah, Calderia Nueva. Atmospheric little late-night huant decked with carpets and low North Africa tables serving teas, coffees and Arab sweets.
Puerto Del Carmen, town hall square at the end of the hotel street. Smart looking restaurant and bar. Great for a glass of red wine at the end of the evening. Smart, professional staff.


I don't know if it was freak weather, but it was 70 degrees while we were there.
