Hotel Macià Real de La Alhambra
Very helpful staff. Large room and everything was very clean. Parking was very easy in the underground garage.

Hotel Granada Center
We really enjoyed our stay. the staff were great and the location was good. However, we did find the room too warm and you couldn't get it any cooler as the air conditioning is turned off during the winter. That sounds reasonable, but it was 24C in the room which is a bit warm to sleep.

Melia Granada Hotel
Nice hotel in the middle of Granada. Walking distance from major landmarks. I recommend getting the Granada card that gives you access to public transportation and entrance to the Alhambra and some museums.
