We chose the Hotel Puerta de Las Grandas because of its location and booked through Hotels.com. We got a direct e.mail response back from the hotel confirming the rooms and offering to help with Alhambra bookings etc. As a consequence missed lots of hastle and queues.
The hotel is brilliantly located, very clean and the staff were very helpful - it felt like a family run hotel.
We are a family of 5 and I would recommend to anyone. My wife loved lying in bed at night looking up at the flood-lit Alhambra - magical.

Based on reviews on this website, we stayed here for two nights in July 2007. It was a perfect choice. The hotel is in a great location just a short walk from the Alhambra, and it was only about 70 euros/night (remember that was July 2007, so prices may be higher now due to the exchange rate). The front desk staff was extremely helpful in booking our Alhambra tickets ahead of time, and they were friendly while we were there. They also speak English which was helpful, as our Spanish is terrible. The only downside to this hotel is that the rooms are small. But we expected that, and literally just wanted a place to sleep at night. The room was very clean, and I had no complaints about the bathroom. For the price, we were extremely happy with this hotel for a short stay. For longer than 3 days, I might have wanted a bit more space to spread out.

We did not eat breakfast at the hotel, based mostly on reviews from this site saying that it was overpriced. There are tons of places within walking distance to get a coffee and a breakfast bread or pastry.

Do not try to rent a car and park at this place -- you can't. It's in a fenced off pedestrian zone that only taxis and other specific vehicles have access to. You don't need a car in Granada anyway.

Stayed at Puerta de las Granadas for two nights in Feb and we could honestly not fault this hotel. Before arrival the hotel had taken the trouble to email me to offer to book our tickets for the Alhambra. I would suggest that you do this, it may cost another couple of Euros but you do not have to queue when you get there!

On check in the hotel took considerable time and effort to take us through what to do, our tickets for the Alhambra and where to eat and drink, all in perfect English - you would not get this much attention in a 5 star hotel!!

The rooms are small but immaculately clean and very modern. There is a TV, hairdryer, safe, well stocked mini bar, free chocolates on arrival and power shower. We stayed in room 204 which is by the entrance to a beautiful courtyard/tearrace where we drank beers and chatted to some other hotel guests who also loved the hotel.

The breakfasts for E6 are well worth it, very well stocked and fresh continental buffet style.

There is also free internet access via two computers.

The best thing about this hotel is its location. It is situated on the quiet street that leads up to the Alhambra in the old district and a minutes walk from Plaza Nuevo where there many restuarants, coffee bars and tapas bars. A perfect place for a city hotel.

We booked through venere com and only paid E54 per room - what a bargain for a really good hotel!!

Loved this hotel, the best place we stayed on our trip around Spain!

The staff were so helpful and friendly, gave us a map when we checked in, and told us where the best places to eat/have tapas/have a drink were. Also showed us the "must see sights", how to get there, and what buses to catch if we didn't want to walk. We were also interested in going up to the Sierra Nevada mountains, and they found out bus times for us. Our bathroom sink was also found to be leaking, and it was fixed immediately. Staff were just so helpful and friendly, always saying hello and goodbye when we came and went out, and spoke perfect english!

The hotel itself is on a quiet street in the middle of the city - about a 15min steep uphill walk to the Alhambra, or 1 minute walk down hill to the Plaza Nueva where you can catch buses up. The Plaza Nueva also has lots of outdoor restaurants to sit and eat and drink in the sun. Everything is within walking distance, lots of shopping, the cathedral, the hotel is in the perfect location!

The room itself was small, but adequate. We had a room with a "patio view", but very little natural light came through. Goodsize bathroom and shower, TV with CNN and BBC world. Free internet access - what more could you want?!
