We stayed at the Hotel Plaza Nueva for two nights. It is excellently located and is quite a luxury hotel. Everything is spotless and the twin room was huge with a view over the square. The only problem was the noise from the square below. From early evening to 3am there were people shouting, music being played, dogs barking, and what sounded like people throwing industrial waste around (like they were raiding a building site or something.) The noise was so disturbing, particularly as we were due to get up at 5.30 to go to the Alhambra (nothing could spoil our visit there, though - it is so wondrous!) So stay here by all means, but I would say try and get a room without the view over the square.

We stayed here for 3 nights in March 2007 and paid €85 a night double, ensuite, TV, AC/heat, lift. It looked newly remodeled, and was spotlessly clean. Also one of the largest rooms, definitely the largest bathroom I’ve ever had in Europe. Basically loved the location on right on Plaza Nueva – walking distance to everything, the red mini buses that take you up to the Alhambra (if you don’t want to walk the 20 minute walk) stop right on the plaza. It's a €7 taxi from bus station, €24 taxi to airport. The airport bus stops about a five minute walk away. Two of the three nights we were aware of some noise on the square at night, but the heavy glass windows and wooden shutters kept it quiet enough. But on Friday night it was really loud till 4am. Breakfast was €9 extra so we skipped it but there were several places right on Plaza Nueva where we got breakfast for €2. I would definitly stay there again.

Excellent location, large and clean rooms, walking distance to tourist spots, restaurants and shopping.
Helpful staff. I highly recommend the hotel and would stay there again.

Booked this at the last minute since it was on a special offer €60 for double room including breakfast, so weren't expecting much for our money - how wrong we were! This hotel is excellently located for the Albaicin (Old town), the Alhambra, the Cathedral and the rest of the city. It's a typical old spanish house with the central (roofed) courtyard. The rooms are basic but have everything you'd need, and the breakfast is better than you'd expect for a small hotel like this. And there are plenty of lovely little tapas bars in the streets behind the hotel. All in all we were very pleasantly surprised!
