* 15th Century Convent: View PDF
This is the jewel in the crown of the Parador group with a location that must be the most desirable in Spain. To spend a night or two on the site of the world-famous Alhambra, among gardens and fountains and important Moorish and Christian historic buildings, will be a memory you will never forget. The building that houses the Parador was once a convent built on the orders of the Catholic Monarchs on top of a Nazrid palace. Many of the remains of previous times are conserved, including the Nazrid Hall. This historic complex offers visitors the opportunity to take intimate and peaceful walks around the grounds - especially appealing when all the tourists have left for the day. In the building there are numerous works of art and exceptional pieces of furniture decorating the Cloister and the interior rooms. The dining room and shady summer terrace have exceptional views of the Generalife. Please note that if you want to dine in the restaurant you will need to make a reservation at the time you check in. The dining (start) times are 8-8:30 and 9:30-10. This is a small parador with only forty rooms and the restaurant has only twenty-two tables so please be sure to make your reservation early. Typical Andalusian cuisine is served including gazpacho, Granada-style beans and Santa Fé pastries. There are superior rooms with either two beds or one big bed and bath, and standard rooms that are smaller with two beds and showers in the bathroom. Torre del Alba (304) is a unique room in an exceptional location: on its lower floor it has a comfortable lounge and the bedroom, in the form of a tower, has windows pointing to the four cardinal points. Like a watchtower, you can enjoy the view of the Palacio del Generalife and its gardens, Alberca, Sierra Nevada, La Vega de Granada and the Alhambra. The Parador has undergone recent significant upgrading and all the rooms are bright and well-equipped. This is a very popular Parador and promotions are not offered. It is essential to book your Alhambra tickets in advance: you can do this yourself online or the Parador reception staff can arrange a guided tour in English for a maximum of thirty people and lasting 2.5 hours that leaves the Parador at 10 a.m. for a cost of 49 euros. They also have twenty tickets available for guests each day for 10 or 10:30 timeslots, however these must be for the following day and you must advise the reception desk at check-in that you want tickets (available on a first-come/first served basis). This Parador does have limited private parking (not included in the cost of your room). Awarded Fodors' Choice 2009.

The hotel, the room and the staff all rate an excellent 5 stars. It is a beautiful property, beautifully maintained and the staff both front office and food and beverage were just wonderful. I was delighted to be able to obtain a reservation for 2 nights and would recommend the hotel highly. I look forward to staying in other Paradors in future.

My only 'negative' might refer to the menu in the Dining Room. Suggest some lighter, more healthful items to counter the typical heavy European fare.

We toured the Alhambra the day before out stay so were able to take full advantage of the great facilities and have a relaxing day/eveningat the Parador de Granada. The rooms, service and dining facilities were excellent and we enjoyed being able to wander around the Alhambra after the crowds has gone for the day.

The historic part of the inn is closed for renovations, but the newer room was comfortable and had a nice partial view of the Alhambra. The location is very special. Driving to the Parador was very confusing. The signage is inadequate, but after stopping several times to ask, we figured it out. The front desk service varied depending on the individual. Mostly it was good.

The Parador was too much like a five star hotel and did not have many authentic historical features inside the building. I was expecting to stay in a place with a historical theme but was disappointed considering it was the most expensive Parador in Spain.

Stay was only marred by the fact that Reception would not accept my pre-paid voucher and insisted that I pay the full bill. This has now been sorted out and I have received a refund. More training of reception staff is clearly required!

I stayed at the Parador in Granada. We liked the place very much, however we found a number of the bar staff to be extremely rude, inconsistent with the quality we expected given the price and wonderful location.

We stayed at the Alhambra, which we understand is the crown jewel of the paradores-and it was! Maitre di was a bit brusque with us at dinner. Seating a large group at once makes it hard to provide the level of service that we expected. Everything else was perfect! Wished we could have stayed longer, and plan to visit other paradores when we return to Spain.

The reason i can't put down excellent is that we had a problem the first night -the heat was not working inour room,and nothing was done aboput it that night . However,my complaint to the manager later on ,that i should not be charged the full amount for such an unpleasant night was accepted and we received a discount.The parador is beautiful ,most of the staff very pleasant and helpful,the parador restaurant excellent ,and we would gladly stay there again .

Good room and bathroom facilities. Certainly the actual hotel is spectacular being within the palaces. The staff were largely very courteous especially reception. Evening food was adequate but not a culinary experience.
Rating: Good
Evening meals were limited in choice. To stay longer than 2 or 3 days would be a problem.
Rating: Good
everything was great EXCEPT we booked what we thought were 2 tickets to the Alhambra and got charged $60+ Euros for a bad tour - the front desk should have warned us about the cost. I was very disappointed and only wanted entry tickets.

Because of the very hot weather when we were there, we ate all of our meals at the Parador. The menu choices were too limited to support a four day visit and several of the dishes were disappointing.
Rating: Good
People were very friendly. Room was below expectation, also taking the price into consideration..not cheap! even excluding breakfast?! very smokey rooms etc. Breakfast was good but very simple, bad coffee! The restaurant/terras is beautifull though.

Our modern room was a bit dark and cramped for the price. Surprising lack of Internet access. Excellent location and ambience.
Rating: Average
The diningr room is a large square which needs division.At the appointed hour for dinner to start,many guests enter at the same time, with only the head waiter permitted to take the orders there is an unecessary big delay
Rating: Average
our room was located next to the laundry room. work and the noise that came with it started at 7am. the front desk did not een offer an apology. the service and the food at dinner was mediocre at best. the experience at the Paradof was our least favorite of an otherwise wonderful trip.
Rating: Poor
This was the most expensive Parador and our worst experience. Although the hotel is lovely, the staff was not concerned about the quality of our stay. We were kept upp all night by the peple next door who had a child about age 5. They came in late and the child repeatedly cried and screamed and had numerous temper tantrums. She continued this thoughout the night. I complained to the person on duty

We thought we paid above a standard room rate to get a room with a nice view of the Alhambra. We paid approximately 385 euros per night. Our room was OK although small but we were at an end of the parador with an extremely limited view of the Alhambra -- I'm sure people further up the hall from our room (#209) had a better view of the Alhambra and might not feel they did not get what they thought they paid for. We did not ask for a room change because we had a lot of luggage and, when we experienced a small electrical problem the first night of our stay, a parador representative offered us a choice of the only other 2 rooms available and both on the first floor with no view of the Alhambra. (The problem was a failed electrical receptacle which created a mild burnimg smell which the parador repaired the next day -- we have no problem with this.) The second problem was that there was no carpet on the hall outside our room which was located next to the elevator. Ladies with high heels walked down the hall off and on late in the evening and people with wheeled luggage left early in the morning making noise I suspect they did not even think about. I'm a fairly light sleeper and this interrupted my sleep frequently. I do not think I got the value I thought I paid for in terms of a view of the Alhambra or of being able to get a good night's sleep.
