Hotel Macià Real De La Alhambra

We were in Granada to go skiing to Sierra Nevada. The location of the hotel was good for this. The underground parking was also good although expensive 14.50 EUR per day. The staff were helpful. Initially our room was very hot, like a sauna. Apparently the hotel only has the option to either have heating or air conditioning on. In February there was no aircon. Even with the heating off and window open it was very hot. We were given another room which was better. Still warm but we could sleep and the beds were comfortable. There was no kettle in the room which wasn’t great but staff let us have coffee from breakfast restaurant, which we were thankful for. The swimming pool was closed and children were not allowed in the (over priced) indoor pool area which the kids were very disappointed about. When asked at reception - no one knew of any available swimming facilities in Granada. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was very nice and cheap. However dinner was only available from 8pm which is typical for Spain however in a hotel I would have expected the restaurant would have been open earlier to meet the needs of foreigners. Again restaurant staff were very nice.

The staff were pleasant and helpful especially Evan. The bedrooms were spacious with a terrace which was nice to look out into the Mountain View’s. I found the bed quite comfortable but my husband didn’t.

Ver good room, nice and cosy. Great breakfast selection. Quiet area. Easily accessible to the city Center, 30 min walk or 10 min by bus, just in front of the hotel. Alhambra is also very close by and easily accessible. Great stay.

It is a very nice looking hotel and rooms - in room fridge which was good. We had a terrace with a mountain view - loved that. Felt we got really good value. A little out of the centre of Granada with a bustop right near the hotel - we caught the bus in and out of the town centre a few times and it was quite easy. But you could walk if you wanted - a bit far for us in the heat. Carpark under the hotel 14 euros a day. Staff very good. Pool was nice and there was also a restaurant on site. A few other restaurants and shops nearby. Overall very happy with our stay here.

The hotel is located just far enough out that walking into the center or to the Alhambra would have been a bit much, so we took taxis for about 6 Euros (plus or minus a bit). There is also a bus that goes to the Cathedral, although we did not use it. Staff were very helpful and responsive. During our February visit the hotel's heating system was the default mode for the AirConditioning system and when we got to our room it was hot. We turned off the fan but it was still hot. Reception immediately sent a man to unlock the window. You could open it with the upper tilt feature but he unlocked it so that we could open the entire window. That helped tremendously and we were fine after that. I paid extra to park in their underground garage. Easy entry and exit and I was able to find a large space for my car.
