Hotels near Alcazaba, Granada

Hemos estado unos días en Granada y no ha podido ser mejor la experiencia. El hotel cuenta con unas vistas a la Alhambra increíbles y la ubicación en pleno paseo de los tristes lo hace inmejorable. La atención de los empleados ha sido buenísima y son súper amables. Las habitaciones son amplias y las camas cómodas. Algo que creo que se podría mejorar es que no tiene nevera en las habitaciones ni tampoco televisión con internet. El baño tiene cierto olor como a agua estancada, pero imagino que será por el tipo de construcción antigua del edificio. Cuando vuelva a Granada repetiré seguro!!

About location: Very convenient, quiet location, only five minutes walk to Columbus to meet Isabella. Regarding dining: The breakfast is very rich, and the hotel also provides afternoon tea, which is superb. About the room: Three people lived in a duplex building, which was very spacious. The only drawback is that the spiral staircase is a bit narrow. Regarding service: the staff are very enthusiastic and help guide the way with luggage. Antique courtyard building, heart water

Palacio de Mariana Pineda was an absolute dream place to stay in Granada during our honeymoon. We stayed in both the Junior Suite with Alhambra View and the City View Deluxe Double, either of which we’d recommend for stunning day and nighttime views of the Alhambra. The hotel is located right on Carrera del Darro. The staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations of good places to get tapas, go see a flamenco show, and other places of interest in Granada. We highly recommend Palacio de Mariana Pineda for your stay in Granada.

We loved staying here. So much character in the rooms and the atriums and reception area- an excellent conversion of a historic building to a hotel. We took a walking tapas tour and it was one of the stops! Our room and bathroom both very nice. A frig minibar in our room we used for our water bottles. Our room was not served by the elevator - but this was not a problem for us. The Wi-Fi was spotty but staff helpful in getting connected. Breakfast was good and coffee was via a coffee pod machine. The breakfast room was crowded at times, but able to wait in the pleasant atrium. We loved traversing the alleyways, just a few steps for views of the Alhambra - and a maybe 20 minute uphill walk to visit. (Taxis inexpensive and this is an option to get to the Alhambra also). Staff pleasant and helpful with recommendations and directions. The Plaza Nueva very close and easy to catch a taxi here.

My family stayed two nights in this hotel on a tour of Alhambra Palace. The outside common area of the hotel, including the dining room, was very well maintained and could deserve a 5-star rating. The rooms inside were a different story. We occupied two rooms. One was a “superior deluxe room,” and the other was a “classic city-view double room.” Both had the same price tag. The deluxe room was spacious and well-lit but had an odd arrangement with a useless bathtub in the center. Moreover, the room smelled of sewage when we entered the room—which I notified the management. They disagreed and claimed there was no sewage smell. I did not appreciate the response, as all four of our family members smelled of sewage. Nor did I escalate the issue, as our stay was short. The city-view room had a small window overlooking the city without much viewing space. The room was tiny, with two twin beds packed in the room, and was poorly lit. It felt like being in a prison cell. The shower doors in both rooms did not close fully, so the water splashed out. In short, both rooms were substandard and did not deserve the price tag at all. My recommendation to travelers is to stay elsewhere, and if you need to stay there, avoid the small “city-view” rooms and Deluxe Room #331 that smells of sewage. I got to love Spain and its people who are very friendly and helpful, but not this hotel.

Stayed for 2 nights on a room only basis. Spotlessly clean and very friendly staff. Rooms have a good mini fridge, and there is a kitchen next to Reception with a kettle, microwave, cutlery and crockery. Bus stop outside goes to the Alhambra for €1.40. Good selection of bars outside the hotel, and about a 10 minute stroll to the Cathedral, or Bib Rambla all on the flat. At the start of the narrow road to the hotel is a roundabout. Here is the Marquis’s sister hotel - great for breakfast. Scrambled eggs, bread, coffee and a large bowl of fruit & yogurt will set you up for the day for under €10. Just around the corner you can catch the C32 bus to Albaicin for €1.40. Lovely views going up a very steep climb. Get out at St Nicolas Square at the top. There are a couple of cafés next to the square where you can enjoy a coffee or beer, with the most amazing views of the Alhambra, then catch the bus or walk downhill (about 20 mins) back into the centre. We were worried about driving and parking in Granada, so we parked up in a little town outside of Granada, called El Fargue (coming in from Murcia), and caught the N8 bus in. Cost €1.40, and travels down the only main road through every hour, just after the hour, to Jardines del Triunfo, which is the other end of the main Gran Via de Colon - a 15 min flat stroll from the hotel, or a 5 min taxi ride. N8 bus returns to El Fargue from the same place at half past the hour. Saved the stress and expense of driving and parking in the City. Very successful. We will certainly do it again, and we will also stay at the Marquis Urban again.

You could not find a better situated Hotel in the centre of Granada. We initially had a problem with one of the rooms a we had requested a twin bedded room through our agent but apparently this was not confirmed so they had booked us into a double. The receptionist was so helpful and after a discussion arranged for us to view the rooms still available before we agreed to taking the most suitable. The problem was overcome because all the twin bedded rooms were already booked we took a double into which they put an extra single bed although we had to pay extra. Throughout our stay all the staff were so helpful and attentive, no request was too difficult. If we ever return to Granada we would not hesitate to stay again. There were still Covid restrictions in place (June 2022) so there were no brochures or pamphlets displayed, but the receptionists were all very helpful in answering any questions about facilities in the hotel and about Granada itself - where bus stops were for different buses, cafe's restaurants etc. The breakfast in the hotel was not a buffet (Covid) restrictions) but was waiter service, the menu having a good selection - try the toast with avocado and tomato!

It's far from the city, but it's in front of the Alhambra Palace! The accommodation facilities were clean and good overall. The atmosphere is completely different from the city, so it is recommended for those who stay quietly. Breakfast was okay and good. However, it was a bit disappointing because there was a hotel entrance in the middle of the uphill road and I couldn't park my car at the entrance, so I had to leave it down.

The suite has two bedrooms and a living room. The room is fully decorated and the facilities are very new. The kitchen and kitchen utensils are complete. The host sister is very enthusiastic. She has been in contact. She has arrived in advance and went out to greet her. If you need help during the trip, you can consult her. She is very attentive and enthusiastic to help. It left a good impression. The location of the room is particularly good, walking to the city, the cathedral is a few minutes

As other have said around 10 minutes walk from City Centre but close to all attractions. Rooms are excellent, spacious and have a nice bathroom. Tea and cofee provided and rooms kept spotless by cleaners. Did not use amenities on offer or eat in the restaurant so cannot comment on quality. Only one minor negative was around wifi - brilliant in reception but 'patchy” in room and would often lose connectivity. Overall first rate hotel and would return.
