We had a super stay at this hotel. It is in the very centre of Granda - so convenient but some rooms do face the Via Gran Colon (very busy street). The hotel has its own car park but will charge you if you wish to use it. On arrrival we asked for our room to be change to a quieter part of the hotel and were offered a lovely room in the older part of the hotel. The staff were helpful at all times. The Alhambra is a 3 min taxi ride away and you can walk to the the Albaicin from the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Not the most highly rated Granada hotel by other Trip advisor reviewers, but we were attracted by the hotel's stunning conversion architecture, proximity to the Alhambra & Albaycin and 5 star rating.
Arriving by car, this wasn`t easy to find. Although it's on the Gran via de Colon you have to approach it via some back streets or do as we did and drive down the bus lane, pull up in the hotel's layby outside and then the valets take your bags and park the car up for you (18 Euros per day). All the staff were very courteous.
Built around an old convent, the heart of the hotel is a stunning cloister onto which the lounge and restaurant face along 2 sides. We only breakfasted in the restaurant - part of the package - its buffet was extensive and hot food was cooked to order. First class.
Rooms fall into two categories, the suites surrounding the cloister and more modern rooms at the front facing the Via Colon. These are much less costly but still beautifully appointed and the mini bar is free. There is a small but well quipped gym.
Turn right outside the entrance and within 200 mtrs (passing the enormous Cathedral) turn left at Queen Isabella fountain for the Playa Neueva with its cafes. The tourist office is here too. From the Playa its either straight on alongside the Rio Barro into the Albaycin or take a right and a climb the road / footpath directly to the Alhambra. Steep but easy. If you haven`t previously reserved tickets to visit the Palace. Don`t queue; go along to the automatic machines in a kiosk at the end of the "Platform" . You can buy on C/C without a wait. The Palace was out of this world. We especially liked the views, The Nastrid Palaces and the Generalife Gardens.
This city was great and we found this hotel perfect for our needs.

Es un hotel de 5 estrellas GL, en teoria , por que para nada lo parece. He estado en hoteles de 3 estrellas con habitaciones mas grandes. Las habitaciones son enanas y tampoco nada del otro mundo, tiene los mismo detales que un AC de 3 estrellas.
No lo recomiendo para nada ya que la relacion calidad precio es muy elevada.

A great hotel to explore Granada. Perfect location, being just a short stroll to the cathedral and the Albaicin. The Alhambra is about a 10 minute walk away. We didn’t have too much trouble finding the hotel by car – it’s located on the main Via de Colon and the hotel staff are happy to park your car when you arrive. We had a convent room in the historic part of the hotel, which was very comfortable and overlooked the inner courtyard. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was very nice, with plenty of choice. If we’d had more time we would have liked to have eaten in the restaurant one evening as the menu looked really good. It’s advisable to book tickets to the Alhambra well in advance of your visit. We booked several weeks before we visited using www.alhambra-tickets.es and only afternoon tickets were available, with access to the Nasrid Palaces not until 19:30. Overall, a lovely hotel and we’d certainly stay here again.
