Parador de Granada

Booked the restaurant for dinner on 14th February 2025. Food was exceptionally good value and the fixed price menu superb. Service was good and attentive. The restaurant’s blindingly bright lighting sterilises the room of any character unfortunately. We asked for the lighting to be dimmed and was told that it wasn’t possible as the lighting starts to flicker. Please get an electrician that knows how to make the lights dim as they were so bright I was given a headache. It’s impossible to see the wonderful floodlit views of the Alhambra after dark due to the terrible design of the lighting. This restaurant has the potential to be fantastic with better lighting design and someone that knows how to create an intimate ambience. The present experience is like sitting in a hospital canteen. The adjoining bar also sufferers from terrible sterile bright lighting and needs attention to improve the atmosphere.

Staying at the Parador de Granada was 100% worth it. It’s such an iconic place, and if you’re planning to visit the Alhambra, it couldn’t be more convenient—it’s literally right there. You can drive up to the parador, but make sure to book a parking spot way in advance. Otherwise, you’ll have to park quite far away, which can be a hassle.||One of the best parts of staying here is being able to walk around the Alhambra grounds whenever you want, even when there are no tourists. It’s such a unique experience. That said, the parador isn’t super central for visiting other parts of the city, except for the historic center, which is a short walk away. Keep in mind, though, that the walk back involves a bit of an uphill climb. If that’s an issue, taking a bus or taxi is a good option, but if you don’t mind the walk, it’s only about ten minutes from the city center.||The breakfast is decent, but nothing to get too excited about. Dinner was fine—not bad, but not amazing either. We were a bit disappointed that the indoor dining area didn’t have better views. The outdoor terrace (which was closed when we went) does have great views of the Generalife, though.||The room was nice and comfortable, and the service was good too. All in all, it’s a great choice, especially if visiting the Alhambra is a big part of your trip.

Super cool to be able to drive right up to the Alhambra and spend the night. It is spendy but worth it at least once in your life. You just can't beat the location. The downside is the restaurant and bar. One star for them they are obviously a concession and a bad one at that. Metal chairs with fabric seats. Cheap tables. Food was ok but one of the worst meals we had in our 12 day trip. Save yourself and walk to another restaurant down the hill. The atmosphere was more like the Hilton garden inn than a 12 th century nasrid palace

The Parador de Granada is a lovely hotel in the perfect location in the Alhambra Palace. It was a pleasure to stay in it, and we loved walking back up to it at night after dinner in the town, through the palace itself with no one else around.|Our room was clean and comfortable, but being on the ground floor of the wing where the public walks, we had tourists peering in all the time. I suggest getting a room in the old part of the hotel.|We had a little trouble with the reception, where our booking that was B&B, was not quite clear due to language misunderstandings, and I spent a couple of days thinking that I needed to use a Parador Amigos deal, when I did not need to. Eventually the Parador Amigos HQ in Madrid cleared it up, but the reception staff became a little frosty. Otherwise, all the staff were very good.|We love the views and the terrace bar area. We would go again.

Our stay was very pleasant experience at parador de Granada.Service - The hotel offered us champagne and cookies as we left a note that we’re spending our honeymoon in Spain. Location - perfect location if you want to visit Alhambra. 2 mins walking distance to the entry. Highly recommend the night visit to the Nasrid. Transportation - with Freenow app we can easily call a taxi and get around.

Don’t waste your time paying premium prices for this very average hotel. Nothing exceptional about this place at all. If you’re coming for just one day to see the Alhambra then the location maybe makes sense but it’s totally inconvenient for visiting anywhere else. Asked for matrimonial bed and they stuck us with two singles side-by-side. I have loved staying at other Paradors but this one was a waste of money.

We have stayed at several Paradores since 1973 and never been to one with this kind of atmosphere. It seems that the staff are more concerned with satisfying managements strict rules than showing kindness and being accommondating to guests.. Not serving dinner before 8.30pm and letting all the guests in at the same time when serving begin,s is a bad idea and leads to inefficient service.
