Top hotels in Cartuja
Barceló Carmen Granada Hotel
The location is great easily accessible and walkable. Staff very helpful. The room was clean and well appointed. My only thought is instant coffee in the room is a little mean a Nespresso machine and 5 pods can't possibly be expensive. Used the pool and bar on the roof didn't have any breakfast. ...

Alhambra Palace Hotel
The place is stunning, but it’s surprising that breakfast is limited to 39 Euros, with no smaller options. Of course, you can walk down a steep hill, but would have been nice to have a baguette and coffee at a more modest charge. That aside, this is an exceptional place
