Corona de Granada

Room and bathroom were adequate, with a kettle, cookies (Lotus type), coffee, and complimentary infusions. Good cleanliness. Very pleasant pool with a hammock area on one side and other areas with hammocks and reclining chairs with sun and shade to choose from. It has an OK gym. We did not use the breakfast option, so I am unaware of it. Good location in a quiet area, but very close to the commercial and tourist area of the city. There are also nice tapas establishments near the hotel. Both the Alhambra and the San Nicolás viewpoint are in high areas of the city, so to access them, one must walk 20-25 minutes uphill through beautiful cobblestone streets. It is important to wear comfortable shoes if you are going to walk.

We were so excited to go to Granada. And Granada is fabulous. But this hotel is not. From the moment we entered the lobby, we were met with fairly unfriendly reception staff. To be fair, they did check us in early, which we were grateful for. But welcoming, they were not. The room they put us in was right next to the cleaners’ cupboard, so an early wake up call of chatting and clashing things around greeted us. Obviously the cleaners have to do their thing, but a little consideration for guests at 6am would have been nice. The breakfast was appalling. Utterly awful. Greasy food, if any had been put out. We went to breakfast early enough but things were not replenished. So we ‘missed out’ on a number of items in the hot food. The neighbourhood was good and it was ok to walk into the centre etc. However, in general, the staff were surly and unwelcoming. We’d say this is definitely NOT a 4* hotel. I’m sure there are other, much nicer places to stay.

Very close to the center, clean, quiet, very comfortable beds, friendly and welcoming staff. Great price!
