We stayed here for one night only, primarily to visit the Alhambra the next morning before travelling to Orgiva for a week's vacation. The hotel was very easy to find off the highway - we were so surprised and it was excellent to be able to 'abandon' the car in the underground car park and walk/use public transit everywhere. We'd heard about trying to drive around the city, and once we witnessed the gridlock, it was nice to know we'd made the right decision and left the car at the hotel.

The hotel had a great pool, so after a long drive from Malaga, it was a welcome way to relax in the heat and sun. It was very clean even though it was an outdoor pool.

The breakfast buffet was excellent, everything you would want - cereals, fruit, cooked items, cheeses. Lovely and really, really nice strong coffee. We didn't have dinner at the hotel but chose to eat in Granada itself, then walk it off up the hill. We found the walk lovely, if a bit long (30 mins up hill) and didn't have any issues with the area.

We had a great room typical of some of the TripAdvisor 'Candid Shots' - good enough and lovely to get some nice toiletries - thought of everything including toohbrush/paste! Free WiFi in the room was also a big plus.

Getting to the Alhambra the next morning couldn't have been easier - a number 33 bus takes you up the hill, straight to the entrance for 1 Euro per person. Well worth a visit if you have the opportunity.

We would definitely stay here again, clean, fresh, new and well-eqipped. A bargain for the £40 we paid for the night.

Very modern clean and stylish hotel. Rooms finished to one of the highest standards we have experienced at this price. Beds very comfortable. Underground carpark for €8 per day was helpful. We got a bit caught out by the local way of eating later at night (after 8.30pm at most places) and had to wait in a state of near starvation for dinner to be served. The Alhambra is a short drive - or a long walk - up the hill and is definitely worth a visit.

One thing we missed in our room was that quaint British feature of a kettle to make hot drinks, although there is a minibar for cold ones (at a price.)

Me and my wife spent two nights in this hotel during our visit to Granada. I choose the Real de La Alhambra after having read the other reviews and considering the attractive rate for a 4-stars hotel (60 EUR/night).
Here you have our impressions:
Pros:
• As most of the previous reviewer wrote, the hotel is brand new and features a very "stylish" indoor: our room was quite large and equipped with modern, "clean" design furniture, as well as an LCD TV set. The "Real de Alhambra" offers all standard services for a 4-stars hotel (continental/hot breakfast, in-room restaurant, laundry service, pool, etc.), though we did not use them due to the limited time available
• The hotel features a big, indoor car parking, which is a plus because you can leave your car if you decide not to drive into Granada (see the "cons" on this subject). In July/August the parking was offered at only 8 EUR/day, and the last day we were kindly allowed to leave our car up to the afternoon with no extra charge.
Cons:
• Despite what I read in other reviews, the hotel is located outside the town, close to the "Ronda sur" highway end, in a place not particularly attractive during day and night. The bus no. 33 brings you to the city centre in 5-10 mins, but runs only until 11 PM, so that you will need to take a taxi (approx. fare 6 EUR) to come back whenever going to the restaurant at "spanish" dinner time (i.e. after 9 PM).
• The distance between the hotel and the Alhambra is comparable to the one from the Alhambra itself and the city centre (at least moving by bus), so the "Real de la Alhambra" seems not particularly convenient from this point of view
• I made the reservation through the Macià hotels website and faced some confirmation problems, which were solved only after a series of e-mails and phone calls. In any case, according to their reservation policy, my credit card was immediately charged for the whole period of stay (two nights), though I would have been refunded in case of cancellation up to 48 hrs before the check-in date. Take in account this when booking directly at this hotel.
In the end, the hotel is very good in itself, and probably designed to host large groups. However, should I come back to Granada again, I would probably choose another hotel in a more central location.
