Parador de Granada

Exceptional

Good

Liked: Breakfast
Disliked: The aircon didn't work and the hotel staff changed us to a smaller room but told us it was an "upgrade" which clearly was not because the room was so much smaller and the bathroom had worse function (the original one had the massage heads) and with no views (the original one had a nice garden view)Also there was a opera concert of sorts but we were not informed or shared with such information by the hotel.

A special treat. Would recommend.

Liked: Incredible building & location, superbly comfrortable aircon room, good shower. Food and wine on the terrace were excellent and good value.
Disliked: Minor point. We didn't come down to breakfast until about 10am and there were no staff and it felt a little unwelcoming. (Breakfast stops at 11am) Someone did appear and bring coffee, but then concentrated on clearing tables around us etc...she didn't ask if we wanted anything cooked, more coffee etc. Luckily we didn't, we just helped ourselves from the buffet, but we felt we were just in the way. Go a lot earlier if you want a full breakfast and be prepared to grab some attention!

Historical Lodging not to be...

Liked: One of the most enjoyable hotel experiences in my life. Getting to sleep in the former Monastery of San Francisco, inside the historical Alhambra site, is a once in a lifetime experience. The staff at the front desk welcome you with a wealth of knowledge. The rooms are clean and offer amazing views of the gardens. Even more exciting than the spectacular breakfast, is having dinner on the restaurant terrace. Enjoying the four-course Halal dinner celebrating the cuisine of the Nasrid Kingdom, for just 39 Euros, while watching the sun go down over the Generalife Gardens, is one of my most memorable experiences from my recent trip to Spain and definitely the best meal, although the Cochinillo at Jose Maria in Segovia comes in at a close second for quality of food, but nothing beats the view of the Generalife Gardens. Although some people may flinch at the price, initially, once you realize how much you get out of the experience there is no denying that it trumps the other lodging possibilities in Grenada. It's comfortable, historical, and a memory making treat to sleep here.
Disliked: Stepping into the bath, which is a bit high, would be facilitated by installing a grip bar to help prevent slipping. The opening to the toilet area of the bathroom is a bit tight since it entails two glass panels that are not moveable.
