There’s an Arabic inscription that captures the essence of Granada in a few words: “There is nothing so sad as to be blind in Granada.” The perspicacity of this declaration becomes obvious as soon as you penetrate the austere walls of the Alhambra and take in the full majesty of the architecture, carvings and fountains of the Nasrid palaces. Your ticket (which should be bought well in advance following the instructions on the attraction’s website) also affords entry to the Renaissance Palace of Carlos V and to the exquisite gardens of the Generalife. If you are celebrating a special event, or are in the market for a splurge, you can stay in the lovely Parador, right on site. Make your way down into the city via the atmospheric old quarter of the Albaicin, with its tiny craft shops and restaurants, and head for the Cathedral and Royal Chapel. Also plan a visit to the crypt for the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, the instigators of Spain’s imperial adventures to the New World and beyond. It’s worth making the short journey out of town to visit the Monasterio Cartuja, a fabulous Carthusian monastery in the baroque style. Admirers of the poet Lorca should make the effort to visit the Casa-Museo Federico Garcia Lorca in Fuente Vaqueros, about 11 miles from the city centre.

Oro del Darro Suites is situated in Bajo Albaicin, in front of the Alhambra. Located a few meters from the center of Granada, it has the best location a tourist could desire. Oro del Darro Suites is a 18th century reformed house maintaining the perfect combination of the original spirit with a vanguardist decoration. All suites are perfectly decorated and count with all details.
Brilliant stay. Location was excellent on Del Darro which is the best place to stay in Granada as it’s close to the Alhambra and so many other places of interest. Apartment was spacious and beautifully decorated. Tony on reception was extremely helpful and available and very friendly

Palacio Cabrera Lillo is a 19th Century building rehabilitated as tourist apartments. These tourist apartments are in the center of Granada. Elegance and confort rooms close to all tourist spots you must visit, restaurants, shops...
This appartment was booked very late due to a cancellation at our original hotel. However, this was to our benefit. The appartments are clean, comfortable and very central - just 4 minutes walk from the city centre and attractions such as the Cathedral. The staff are wecloming and incredibly friendly, with nothing too much trouble. I also had a chance conversation with the owner, who was very interested in my experience of the appartments and again, couldn't do enough. Its my first stay in an appartment rather than a hotel, and the extra space was great, with all the amentities you could need for a short or much longer stay. I would have no hesitation in recommending this to friends Couldn't fault it

Modern apartments in the center of Granada. These apartments are situated in front of the Cathedral, in the well known street Calle Gran Vía, Main Street of the city. These apartments are surrounded by monuments, restaurants, shops... all other services.
The hotel is located in city centre, with convenient transportation, dining and shopping facilities nearby. It is an apartment style hotel, spacious, secure, cosy and with good view. The apartment is well equipped with kitchenware, which facilite us to cook simple dishes by ourselves. The welcoming wine, coffee capsules and tea bags made us feel at home. The bed and sofa bed are comfortable and air conditioning is warm enough. We can sleep in bed or stand in the balcony watching sunrise, sunset and castle on the hill. We will definitely re-book this hotel if we come again.

Located at the middle area of the station, 200 meters from the chairlift and main squares, really close from the most lively pubs of the station, as well as restaurants, shops and ski schools. Monte Gorbea building offers comfortable accommodation. It’s not needed taking private or public transportation to access both skiing and leisure activities. It has car park spots with direct access to the apartments. All apartments include bedding, blankets, pillows and towels. They have TV, full bathroom with shower or bath, underfloor heating and kitchen "Kitchenette" with fridge, ceramic hob, microwave, coffee maker, crockery and cleaning kit. Studio 2 people (32 m2 apprx): Living room with trundle bed Studio 2/3 people (40 m2 apprx): Living room with trundle bed and single sofa bed Studio 2/4 people (41 m2 apprx): Living room with a trundle bed, a single sofa bed and a cabin with a single bed Key pick up: In the reception of Hotel GHM Monachil, located in Avenida Maribel 10 NO PETS ALLOWED
Make sure to book your car park before arrival to avoid disappointment. The ski cellar looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in years and the restaurant opens relatively late which means you either go to the centre to eat and rush to make the lift up before 19.45 or you walk a lot of stairs

I stayed for one night and consider this to be an excellent budget hotel. Delightful owners. Spotlessly clean. Great aircon in room. Small fridge too with bottle of cold water also provided. Surprisingly quiet. It exceeded my expectations.

Apartamentos Salmerones is a house divided into 3 spacious apartments (110 - 130 square meters). Each apartment can accommodate from 2 to 5 or 9 people (it depends on the apartment). The house is situated in the heart of the town of Alhama de Granada.
We stayed in the first floor apartment for 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's well appointed and tastefully furnished. Ana, Maria and their parents are great hosts and were quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely reccommend to anyone staying in the Alhama area.
