We arrived in Granada in the evening. The staff were very welcoming and helpful at first. We were woken up at 5.30am by the huge diesel powered generator underneath our room (room 19). The room was unusable as the diesel fumes entered through our closed windows and we had no choice but to vacate it at 6am. We informed the... More

I was only there one night when my regular hotel did not have a vacancy.. I found the staff helpful and polite and everything else more or less average. I didn't try the restaurant. I might consider staying there again under similar circumstances.

It was very reasonable and included breakfast for... More

Ran into the hotel while walking around the city. A one year old "boutique" hotel with 20 rooms, pool and great kitchen. Located only 2 blocks from the Parque Central in a quiet safe neighborhood and 1/2 block from the main street of Atrevezada. The staff are very professional, friendly and attentive to your needs. The entire facility is always... More

for the good information that helped me make this choice. Newly constructed but carefully designed to blend with surrounding colonial architecture, elAlmirante has all amenities and comfy beds, friendly staff, lovely pool. Everything you need is here. Did not try the restaurant but should have because the tourist-y restaurants were just awful as well as expensive.
