gorgeous spacious apartment, owned by the friendliest, most helpful person I met in Europe. Only one issue... the shower was teeny tiny with a giant billowing shower curtain - ouch.

We went travelling with a 3 year old, and El Granado proved to be the perfect accomodation for a boisterous toddler, close to shops and the sights, but still with that proper Granadian feel. The service was excellent and highly recommended and we would definately stay there again.

The staff was extraordinarily helpful and resourceful: we got first hand information and tips greatly exceeding what the tourist information office would offer. The place is perfect for a couple.close

The room was exactly like in the picture, full private bathroom and a kitchen that they even partially stocked for us. The staff gave us the insiders scoop to the entire city which saved us time and money. I'd even recommend El Granado over a hotel. In fact it was the best place we stayed in all of Spain. It's a little tricky to find at first but well worth it. It really was a case of under-promising and over-delivering.close

Fredi made us a wonderful guide to the city and he speaks perfect English (As well as German, Spanish, Swedish, and Norwegian!) The apartment is up a hill so beware if you have tons of heavy luggage, other than that it was a wonderful stay, and they even provided major staples like coffee and milk and juice for us!

Excellent location for everything. Cosy and clean apartment. Lovely host who was very hospitable and gave us a map of Granada and explained good places to go which was great. Some bread was left for us too which was a nice touch. If you stay here try Minotauro bar round the corner for drinking...

The apartment was gorgeous and in a top location. We had the top apartment with the most amazing view of the alhambra. The only down side was the tiny shower which seemed to flood every time we had one. Other than that, all brilliant!

Since we were getting in late, he bought us bread and jam for breakfast the next morning, free of charge. The hostel is located in an old building with a view of the Alhambra.close

Freddy sat down with us and showed us the places to go. We were supplied with a map, not to mention some breakfast foods, dish soap, etc. The apartment-like El Granado was very clean and had that cozy home feeling; the perfect setting for wary travelers to relax. The location was great..a 10-15 minute walk to the Alhambra. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Granada. It was the best deal of our trip!close

Sin duda un lugar para recomendar a los amigos. El apartamento de la última planta con vistas a la Alhambra es espectacular. Le doy un 9,5 sobre 10 (si la ventana de la habitación tuviese persiana y el plato de la ducha fuese más grande llegaría al 10, jeje).

I tried to cook, in the apartment, but the lack of a local supermarket with fresh meat, made my attempt less than I hoped for. I also felt that the shower could use an adjustment. Instead of having a control of the hot and cold that sticks out at least 6in. why not go with regular hot and cold handles that are closer to the wall, so that the minimal shower space is maximized.close

Very nice atmosphere with lovely hot shower and good beds. Warm welcome. Friendly, helpfull people who speak English very well. Advice: tell the visitors that they have to wash the towels themselves (no change of towel) and where they should leave the garbish. Put a sticker on the doorbell... more Very nice atmosphere with lovely hot shower and good beds. Warm welcome. Friendly, helpfull people who speak English very well.
