Parador de Granada

It was wonderful to stay inside the Alhambra, which is an unforgettable place. Book Nasrid Palace as soon as possible. Walking through the Alhambra forest in to the centre was picturesque. The Parador was welcoming from start to finish. Good communication via booking.com. Parking is a little tricky due to the crowds of people, but doable. The drive up to parking is just after the Alhambra carpark. I mentioned our wedding anniversary during communication and a bottle of fizz in an ice bucket was left with a lovely note. It was an absolute delight staying there. Worth every penny. Book in advance to get a better deal. And always check if its better going through Amigos de Paradores. We had half board and the food and service was lovely. A gorgeous view from our room.

Everything was good.

Outstanding location and a beautiful property. Well organised. Very helpful staff. The breakfast choice was extensive and the food in the terrace restaurant was also excellent.

Stunning location and views. Immaculately kept gardens. Lovely bedroom. Delightful eating on the terrace in the evening and very good food. Delighted to be welcomed with a bottle of cava in the room to celebrate a special birthday.

Quite slow and often not very efficient service, especially at breakfast. Would have been nice to have had a variety of seating in the gardens rather than just a few not very comfortable benches.

Unbeatable location right at/in the Alhambra - this is exceptional and makes the Parador an excellent choice. It has a lot of charm, character, History...the terrace where you can have drinks or eat has superbe views as well. Gardens and views are superb

For this level of price and equivalent to 5*, one could expect minimum a decent gym (non existent), or a spa (none) or a pool... So all in all it is a very high price to be paid just to be "there". It is also not possible to have drinks next to the water bassin where you can take the sun in lounge chairs : you have to go downstairs to the bar/snack area and collect your drinks from there yourselves. Where is the service????
