Hotel Universal is conveniently located for Granada town centre with all shops, restaurants, bars and other amenities nearby. It's only a 20-min brisk walk to the Alhambra! Staff was very friendly and happy to help whenever we asked them for directions etc. We also liked the mini-bar, wi-fi facilities and the price of our stay in this hotel! Our room... More

If all you want when travelling is a clean bedroom and bathroom near the centre of Granada, you may want to consider this. But do not expect anything else. What is laughingly described as "continental breakfast" consists of: a cup of tea/coffee, half a glass of orange juice, one piece of toast with pre-spread jam, and a cold croissant, for... More

Spent three nights in this hotel with my family (four people in total). The location of this hotel is so central we did not use the car or public transport, other than the tourist bus, the whole time we were there. The people are friendly, the hopping is amazing and you can immerse yourself in the history of the place... More

I kept changing my mind about this hotel, so I'll try and review this with the pros and cons. Good points: The location is excellent, near to everything. The man on reception was fantastic and very helpful. The car park is just opposite the hotel and reasonable for the centre of Granada (15€) The breakfast is not buffet and is... More

I have stayed in this hotel on numerous occasions as I find the close proximity to the City centre very good. Last time we travelled by train from Almeria and then caught a taxi to the hotel. There is a very good car park and the staff are quite happy to park your car and retrieve it on departure from... More

I spent two nights at this hotel in October 2011. I have no special impression of it, but it was clean, the staff very friendly and receptionists speak English, if it's important for you. Maybe I was lucky, but I didn't suffer from any noise. I think< it's a good decision for this price. Of course, the room was rather... More

The hotel is in a great central location and ideally situated for visiting the central sights and shopping district. Although the hotel lobby has been updated recently and looks great in the photos, the rooms haven't been finished to the same standard which lets the hotel down. The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable but are a little small and... More

This is a very centrally located hotel. The front desk staff are very helpful and most sights, excluding the Alhambra, are a short walk away. Breakfast is served on their roof top terrace and is worth the few Euro. We enjoyed our stay here, and if you don't mind hopping a bus to the Alhambra, this would be a great... More
