Hotel Macià Real De La Alhambra

Fantastic hotel, probably the best I stayed during all my trip to Andalucia, and I can only confirm that this hotel deserves to be one of top three hotels in Granada. Prime location for travellers to Alhambra.

However, it is located within a driving distance from Alhambra, and at night it is quite far from downtown Granada - the bus gets there in 15 min, but the last one is at 23.00.

Best value in Granada. New hotel built to American standards and even quiet between rooms. Find that in Spain! WiFi is fast everywhere and free. Good size rooms with fresh linens, towels, carpets, etc. There is nothing to complain about here. #33 bus stop is 50m out and to the left of hotel entrance (every 15 mins from 7am until 11:30pm). This line goes to center of town and is 10 mins to Cathedral area where you will no doubt be much of the time. The #33 is also direct to and from bus station, about 30 mins ride depending on time of day. The #13 bus stop is about 100m out and to the right and goes to the top of the hill for Alhambra every 30 minutes. It's a 5-7 minute ride. A taxi back at 3am is still only about 7 Euros.

Riding the bus is a little inconvenient but you get used to it. They come frequently and run all the time. Buy a bus pass with 7-33 trips on it and you'll cut the fare almost in half. The luxury, quiet and rooms of this hotel far outweigh the inconvenience of taking a 10-15 minute bus ride into the center each time you want to go out. Fyi, the food in the hotel is not as bad as some have written but there is a restaurant next door with nearly the same menu and prices. It is much better.

the hotel staff and service were good and halpfull and easy to get to city.

A great value for the money..Get the breakfast, there is not that much else around the hotel...it is close to downtown via a taxi or bus...

The bathroom tub was not practical...it had one of those half doors and the other end was open. Water got everywhere. The room was a little stuffy.

The room was large and comfortable,excellent beds and en suite.

Could have done with the air con on a lower setting, it was too hot in the room. The settings are controlled from a central location and were set for winter. We had to open a window which let in a lot of noise.

All the positives are correct and more. This is far more comfortable and quiet than staying in town for the same price. Get a bus pass, they stop in Front. 10 minutes into town on #33 and 7 minutes up the hill to Alhambra on #13. Out late, taxi is less than 10 Euros from town, even at 3am.

The food is not as bad as mentioned. 4-Star hotel does not mean 4-star restaurant folks. All hotel food is average but this was better than reviewed here. Prices are high but hey, you're in a hotel! Free Wi-Fi works everywhere and fast.

Very good hotel, excelent service.

Really loved the modern decor of the Macia. Location terrific - easy access to highways and bus to Alhambra. Staff very friendly. Spoke English. Dining room food was excellent and well served.

Only one big problem: the air conditioning, or lack of it. The system is designed to cycle on for a few minutes then off for lots of minutes. During the "off" time, the room would get very hot, stuffy, super uncomfortable to sleep in. As much as I liked every thing else about the hotel, I would never stay here again due to the lack of good a/C. We even had maintenance come and check our system. He said nothing could be done - this was the system!!! Also, the room window opened all of 3' - so that was not an option.

very pleasant and helpful reception staff , bus service to granada near hotel.

parking expensive ,the hotel address was the side street not the road outside the front,which was confusing as sat /nav could not locate it, but found it on google after all.keep left after tunnel to roundabout .exit junction 132 from motorway

Real good value for money - if you have a (rental) car than this is the place to stay in Granada. 5 min drive from the Alhambra, 10 min from the city center.

Clean, good sized room, good facilities, helpful staff, close to Alhambra, easy bus route into centre of the city, relaxing stay,

The hotel is very smart and the pool was very good. The parking was on site, underground & safe

The room temperature is controlled via climate control & is set to high as the room was very warm at night, we asked if someone could come to open the window, but no one came, the control handle on the shower kept falling off this was also ignored by cleaning staff & reception. The spa was of poor quality & certainly not quiet & peaceful
