The Parador de Granada had a special package for New Years 2009. The package included a welcome talk (in Spanish), cocktails, and dinner on the 30th of Dec. On the 31st we had breakfast (the most extensive breakfast buffet I have ever seen), then a tour of Granada, back to the Parador for a tapas lunch (5 courses) and then... more

This is a truly magical place to stay. We had a standard double room that was comfy and modern with a great bathroom, both with views of generalife gardens. We ate amazing Andulasian food in the restaurant and bar each of the 3 nights we stayed (they do a good fixed price menu & have a great selection of wines... more

Though there's a small inn near it, the Parador de Granada is the only full-service hotel actually on the Alhambra hill. Originally a convent built on the order of Queen Isabella (she of Columbus fame), it has been transformed into a luxury hotel in the Spanish government's parador network. Rooms are good-sized (especially for Europe) and have all the conveniences:... more

Nice location, which is both an asset and a disadvantage. Once you are up there you don't really feel like going downtown given the steep walk on your way back - 2 days later my legs still ache. Of course there is taxi and minibus... but still you feel a bit isolated. All is expensive there, half of the parador... more

The hotel is expensive - 400$ per night. So if you feel that this is an outrageous amount of money for which you are expecting a royal treatment - you will be disappointed. However, if you’d like to stay in a beautiful and stylish hotel in the middle of Alhambra, have a clean, very modern room, great food (don’t skip... more

Firstly - the location and the building (old monastery on the grounds of the Alhambra) are just amazing - we drove right into the small hotel carpark (through the crowds of tourists visiting the ancient site) and were lucky enough to get a space. Our greeting was friendly and I loved the old character of the rooms and the hotel... more

My wife and I stayed at the Parador in Granada in May of 2008...We booked our room early as the hotel fills up far in advance...The hotel is on the grounds of the Alhambra in a converted monastery...It has a very tranquil setting and there is a nice courtyard in the center of the hotel...Our room was spacious and relatively... more

My fiancee and I stayed here on July 2, 2009. This Parador is all about location and is certainly it's best attribute. If you take away it's situation within the Alhambra walls, there really isn't anything that special about it especially considering the price. I did love the convenience of being 'right there' to tour the Alhambra in the morning.... more

We only stayed one night here in order to tour the Alhambra. Its a great location if that's all you want to do. Driving up to the hotel was a bit confusing, and getting back down was even harder however the hotel itself was very beautiful. The restaurant was really good and it was lovely sitting outside over looking the... more
