We stayed here during our honeymoon through Spain in June 2008. Although the hotel itself boasts a beautiful calming clean modern decor, we found the service to be subpar for a hotel of this class. Friendly welcoming interaction with the front desk staff was lacking, and what's worse, we requested the young lady at the front desk to make a dinner reservation at this nice restaurant near the Mirador overlooking the Alhambra, she said she would, but when we got there, there was no reservation and they told us they had not received any calls that day from Villa Oniria! Like I said, it's a beautiful hotel, the room was clean, comfortable with a modern decor, and a balcony overlooking a quiet plaza with a fountain, however as mentioned above, the desk staff was aloof, which left an unwelcoming sour taste. The location is good and we walked to Plaza Nueva, the Albayzin, and it was a short taxi ride to the Alhambra (or you can take the shuttle buses from Plaza Nueva). I would still recommend this hotel to someone looking for a hotel with modern decor and spa-like ambiance in Granada, and perhaps by now, the staff have had a lesson in customer service! However coming off a stay at the incredible Hospes Palacio del Bailio in Cordoba which set the standard for this class of hotel in our opinion (style, location, decor, and amazingly friendly staff) , Villa Oniria just didn't earn a 5-dot Tripadvisor Excellent in our opinion.

We recently stayed for 1 night here while on holiday in Andalucia.it was a beautiful hotel with a lovely terrace garden to sit and enjoy some food and drink or a quiet read.Our room was lovely with windows over looking the street ad terrace garden.Reception staff were very welcoming and happy to help.
I would recommend the local restaurant "Chikito" in the square near by with excellent local food.

if my air conditioning worked in the room ,it would have been better , sweltered in a stuffy noisy room overlooking the back street with kids and mothers yelling all morning ,while i tried to sleep .I dont really think the fitout of the rooms meets the appearance of the hotel ....
the restaurant was great - i booked late and told no reservation on the 2 nights i was there - but they found a table for me after i persisted - a wonderful dining experience which made my stay at the hotel . great courtyard and enjoyed people watching late in the day

Before I write my glowing review of Villa Oniria in Granada, Spain, I just wanted to establish that I am not in the employment of the hotel or any partner organisation, I am merely a visitor who completely loved the place!

First things first. I am in my early twenties and went to Granada for a few nights with my girlfriend. I booked the hotel through an internet website for around £100 a night.

I'm not sure what the history behind the hotel is, but the Villa Oniria is a beautiful building located on a backstreet in the centre of Granada. The location is just right, far enough back from one of the main roads in the city to avoid the noise of the hustle and bustle, but still only minutes from restaurants, sights, shops and other conveniences.

The decor is stunning. Marble on the floors, a serene water feature in the lobby and big winding staircase leading up to all floors. There is a lovely bar area and restaurant (which not uncommon to most hotels is quite expensive relative to restaurants in the city, though wiht very nice food) and a really nice outside area with tables attached to the restaurant and seating for the bar and for relaxing, along with more running water and nice plants.

As far as I could tell the hotel seems quite small, with only about 30 rooms or so. This makes for a quaint atmosphere and good service.

There is a really really nice spa (which disappointingly costs 20 euros per person). It includes a small swimming pool with some high powered water jets, presumably for some kind of massage effect, a jacuzzi and a sauna. The whole thing is dimly lit and absolutely ideal for relaxing after a day of sightseeing!

I think we were given an upgrade on our room which was much bigger than we had expected based on other reviews on TripAdvisor. As per the rest of the hotel, the decor and furnishings were excellent. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in! We had a little balcony over the street and another window overlooking the outside dining area.

The staff were very helpful, answering any of our queries and organising various things for us. To put the icing on the cake, the hotel provides a free taxi service!

As you can probably tell I enjoyed my stay in villa Oniria, and I would highly recommend it, especially to young and older couples.
