Hotel Granada by Pierre & Vacances
Catalonia Granada Hotel
The property was nice and in a good location. However, the person who attended us could have been more helpful and was unenthusiastic about our arrival. She gave no directions or assistance regarding the amenities of the hotel. We had to listen to the other hostess to get our information.

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. ...
