Hotel Granada Center
Did not have breakfast, poor amenities, great location, some underground parking, Granada was busy with young people, very nice city but too much traffic for us!

Melia Granada Hotel
I have never stayed in a hotel with just a rail for hanging clothes. The reception staff were bordering on rude. The only plus was breakfast which was excellent. Perhaps the Melia Granada staff should visit the Melia Seville to see how it’s done.
