Breakfast was good but staying there for 3 breakfast, we found the menu lacking variety.

Pillows in the room and the bed were very comfortable.

Service at front desk was also very helpful, especially Nagomi.

Inconsistent Staff Hospitality

The property itself is beautiful, and most of the staff were kind and accommodating. However, my experience with Nadine was less than ideal. While I noticed her being exceptionally pleasant and kind to my friend during checkout, my interaction with her was quite different. She seemed standoffish and didn’t inquire about my stay or show the same warmth. This inconsistency in her demeanor was disappointing

I based all my stays on people’s comments so I will do the same for future travelers. This hotels courtyard was one of the nicest I’ve seen, it was clean and very convenient location, about a 25 minute walk to Alhambra. I chose 5 star hotels for all my stays and to be honest the rooms where not 5 stars, but I think it was 5 star for Granada standards, there are no super high end hotels in this city so based on location it was a 5 star. The staff was great and helpful and overall I would recommend you staying here if you want to see Granada and the Alhambra. Would also highly recommend going to the St Nichilas street at the top and having dinner at the restaurants facing the Alhambra at night.hope this helps.

We were given a much inferior room than we had booked because of the EU SUMMIT and politicians staying at this stupid hotel .

Very nice hotel in a historic building (convent among other things). Comfortable room and good onsite restaurant for breakfast or dinner. Concierge is attentive but be aware the \"self-parking\" is really valet. Pull in front of the hotel directly and they will park your car. Also, it wasn't clear until we were there, but driving in the historic area (where the hotel is) is restricted to locals and hotel guests. If you aren't planning on parking at the the hotel, you'll need to be careful where you drive.

Noisie and dated - nothing like pictures

First it's nice for they to allow me to check in earlier at little pass noon. But if this is a nice hotel then I was certainly given a bad room, which is next to the elevator and also windows to the major street. The noise just from both inside and outside. The room also looks a little dated. I did my research and was hoping this is a nice hotel but not at all a five star. I saw none of the characters or charm from the photos, which was the reason I booked it in the first place because I don't want to stay in a super modern hotel in Granada this time. A major let down

I was a little unimpressed with the service at Breakfast, the bar, and the front desk which misled us about breakfast.

For a nice hotel it felt lacking in some ways.

Also we asked to book 1 breakfast and they charged us for both days which added 30 euros to the stay. Felt a bit cheap to cheat us over such a small amount.

A pleasant stay in Granada

Upon my arrival, I stayed in a “standard room” on the 5th floor. It was clean & comfortable. When my amigos arrived, I transferred to a room in the former “convent section.” Other than a couple of different architectural details, my room was basically the same layout & furnishings. The reception staff was friendly & helpful. Breakfast was good. The location was central & easy to get around by foot, or by taxi.

Ask for a Room in the Convent Section

Ended up at Hotel Palacio through a happy accident. Our original choice got shut down due to COVID issues. Absolutely loved this hotel. Walkable distance to upscale shopping, lots of restaurants, and El Corte Ingles (the huge department store with a full supermarket inside for stocking your room). Our room was in the converted convent, so our room had rafters and a very high ceiling. You stepped down into the room, which had a comfy bed and charming details like plantation shutters. I've never stayed in a room like this in an upscale hotel, so I was utterly smitten. Usually you get the generic hotel room, but this was exceptional. Also had a huge tub in the step-up bathroom. We also walked 2 blocks over to the lavanderia to do our laundry mid-point in the trip, so that's close by if needed. The tourist bus stop is also close, so aces all around. Highly recommend.

land room and lobby of autograph collection hotel

The hotel is sold as a palace converted to a hotel but the room is allotted in the new wing where the palace part is not even visible . The rates are very high but there is no evidence of autograph collection. The lobby is extremely bland without any hint of a palace. I would have been happier to book other properties available at half the rates

A lovely hotel. At ground level, the steet appearance of the hotel is underwhelming. As the official picture shows, above ground level, there is a hint to the building that lies behind. The former convent building is beautiful and certainly our room was excellent in all regards.

If I were to make criticisms (minor), it was firstly that the sound proffing between rooms appeared not to be the best. It could well be that the people next to us were particularly loud, however. Secondly, it would be nice if the TV had english-speaking channels other than Russia Today and CNBC.

Read between the lines historical may mean shabby

When registering at the hotel the middle age guy told us he was upgrading us to Room 007. (He sold it as if we had hit the jackpot)
I naturally thought how can you go wrong with James Bond’s number.
The room was in the oldest part of the hotel, on the lower level. It was a very nice room, until I realized that there was no window to look out of. The hotel had placed a translucent film on the glass to ensure privacy from the public courtyard. The half circle at the top of the window was transparent and allowed people to look into the room from the upper corridor.
Naturally I went back to registration and thankfully spoke to another person (female) who was very accommodating and new about the infamous room 007 and placed us in room 135. Nice room, window to a side street.
The toilet was leaking and so at night, I had to use ear plugs in a 5 star hotel.
Okay, so the website says it’s a 5 star hotel.
I agree that it’s a 5 star out of 10 stars hotel.
The old (historical) part is shabby and very outdated. It’s in desperate need of a remodel.

The Alhambra tour was the highlight of the trip.
It’s interesting because this hotel is part of the Autograph Collection Hotels. (Marriott Group)

We are now staying at another Autograph Collection hotel called the Cotton Hotel in Barcelona and it’s spectacular and is a 5 out 5 stars.

Considering this is an old building with style and the perfect location it was in, I think it is perfect for tourists on a short stay in Granada. It could have been better, since we did encounter a hand towel that smelled extremely bad and the double bed was made of two single beds merged together. But overall these are small issues that can be fixed I believe and I do recommend this hotel to others

Lovely downstairs, poor room and service up there.

The downstairs reception area is rather bland, nobody helped us in with luggage as there was only one person on reception, a lady called Emma who was very friendly. There was an issue with our bill which she told me had not been paid even though we had in advance and nobody came back to confirm until I chased it up four days later. This is a hotel of 2 halves. The room is in considerable need of renovation as it is not only small but has bouncy laminate floors. Service left a lot to be desired, as cups were not washed, milk cartons were not replaced, bins not emptied and there are no plugs for the sinks because apparently they keep getting stolen, so we had to ask for one so I could shave.

The downstairs is the other half and is quite magnificent and beautiful. This is the courtyard and dining room which are 16th century, magnificent and attended by excellent staff, we even ate two dinners here, taking the Mercado market menu which was obviously good enough to repeat a second night. Five star? Not a chance. 4+ for the courtyard, breakfast and dinner and three staff for the room. Not the usual Autograph standard.

The location was great. The room was clean and the service was very good.
We had a car, which was the only problem area. The hotel is on a street where the lane in front of the hotel is only for buses and taxis and there is no other lane in that direction. We drove by until we recognized the hotel. I jumped out of the car to go find out about parking. I was told that we could pull into a space on the sidewalk in front and someone would park the car. In the meantime, my husband was lost driving around behind the hotel. He finally found his way back with the help of a guy on a motorbike.
The hotel was a convent and the breakfast is in lower level next to the cloisters. We expected a buffet since it was a set price of €21. It was not and we thought pretty expensive for what you got.

We booked a courtyard room which is a beautiful room that over looks the courtyard(a sight to see). This was great and quiet until our last night, we didn't realize there is a rental party room right across the courtyard on our floor. It was insanely loud in our room because of this. The customer service was excellent and they did their best to repair the situation but ultimately had move us to a differenr room.
