We stayed at the Macia Real de la Alhambra on a weekend visit to Granada. We paid 70 euros and it was a great stay and incredible value. The hotel is modern and stylish in a minimalist way. There is underground parking (payable). There is a swimming pool and spa, so it is well equiped.

It is on the edge of Granada so you need either a car or to take taxis or buses. Both of the latter are cheap into the centre and the drive into town or the Alhambra is easy and fairly quick.

I would thoroughly recommend this hotel unless you are looking for a central location or old world charm. It is neither, but as a really easy place to stay in Granada I would highly recommend.

My wife and I stayed here for one night, driving from Costa Blance to Marbella. We decided to stop in Granda to see the astounding Alhambra palace (and yes, the Alhambra is worth the trip).

We chose the Macia Real based on the reviews on trip advisor. And even though the excpectations were raised due too the good reviews, the hotel beat our excpecatations.

Yes, I have stayed at better hotels, but the I have paid twice or three times the 70 € we were charged. I think this is the best value for money hotel I have ever stayed in :-)

The rooms are very nice, with an even nicer bathroom. The lobby and bar area are modernly furnished, and give a good first impression of the place.

A few reviews have mentioned the location as a negative element - for us it was the other way around. We came by car, and sort of drove right in to the hotel (we just followed the signs for Alhambra Palace). Parking was easy, and the nesxt morning, when we where going to the Palace, we had just to drive uphill to the parking area.

We took the bus into town in the evening. It was easy, cheap and convenient.

Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It is clean and spacious and although little out of town, buses are inexpensive and frequent both into town and to the Alhambra. We found the staff to be unintrusive rather than inattentive, knowledgeable and always happy to help in English. The hotel is on a roundabout, but our room was excellently soundproofed - we heard no traffic from the room at all.

The hotel is hard to locate as the address is the street past the roundabout where it is located.Should be listed as on the roundabout.
The hotel staff are indiffereent and in some cases dismissive.Service is lacklustre and very unwelcoming.
Reception staff are reasonably friendly.
The walk to to the Alhambra is a very long 20 to 30 minutes up a steep hill.
Be aware that visits to the Alhambra are timed on the hour so you need to time your visit accordingly.One can purchase entrance tickets by card at a special office but you have to look for it.
The hotel itself is very modern but I would not stay there again.
