Melia Granada Hotel
This hotel is in a fantastic location and has the bones and decor to create a wonderful experience. Sadly, the cold and stiff staff at reception brought the experience down quite a bit. The receptionist did the bare minimum and was generally uninterested in helping us when we asked about local sites ...

Hotel Anacapri
Location was super close to Alhambra. Breakfast was as expected and delicious. Only complaint is walls are thin and neighbours kept us up all night.

Lovely stay. Hotel in a great location. Lots of small restaurants in the street and it is close to all the main attractions. Room always clean and big enough for two people. Great modern bathroom with large walk in shower. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast.
