Catalonia Granada Hotel
The breakfast was good. The hotel is good for backpackers. No parking at all not even for drop off. Difficult access by car. Room is good but humble for a 4star. Not even a bottle a water is offered. Bring your own hair conditioner. There is none.

Hotel Granada Center
Room was clean and property is as very well cared for. The breakfast buffet was very good. The onsite parking was very convenient and safe, but you need a small vehicle to take advantage of it as it is a tight fitting garage. This was typical of most garages we used. Would highly recommend this hotel. ...
