Hotel Museo Palacio de Mariana Pineda

A really special hotel, so full of character and interesting objects. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Raquel on reception and the lady in charge of the breakfasts. We stayed in the Junior suite which was just as other reviews have described and worth getting if you can - so long as you don’t mind a few steep stairs at the end of a day’s sightseeing! The only reason for not giving it 5/5 is that we had not been made aware that even Reception is up two flights of steps from the front door. I am sure that, if we had asked, someone would have come down to help us with our suitcases - and they did take them the rest of the way up to our room - but it would have been helpful to know. I think some of the rooms have lift access, but I wouldn’t have traded my Alhambra view for that!

We felt very lucky to stay in this historic building. Looking out of our bedroom window we had views of the Alhambra ! I think there are only 4/5 rooms. We had a "suite" which was a huge bathroom with antique tiles, bathrobes and slippers. This led down steps to a "corridor" with an attached wardrobe (with a safe) and dressing area, leading up a few steps to the bedroom with its comfortable bed. You could hear the fountain in the courtyard. Lovely staff, one of whom helped me with some lost property from a previous hotel and gave us a map with explanations of the main sites. She even carried one suitcase up the stairs for us. The breakfast was in a room shared with a sister hotel and had to be booked in advance as it's small room. Marie, who was the staff member there, was energetic and fun. Despite the lack of our Spanish we had a laugh with her and she made breakfast a cheerful start to the day. The hotel is situated on an historic road within easy striking distance of many sites. We used the public transport system to arrive and depart. The small buses (C buses?) which we caught got us up to the Alhambra and even back from there after a late night tour. We also used them to get to the Sacromonte (Flamenco caves) and to a viewpoint in the Albaicin. You do need cash for this Euro 1.40 for each single trip- they don't take cards. A memorable stay.

Palacio de Mariana Pineda was an absolute dream place to stay in Granada during our honeymoon. We stayed in both the Junior Suite with Alhambra View and the City View Deluxe Double, either of which we’d recommend for stunning day and nighttime views of the Alhambra. The hotel is located right on Carrera del Darro. The staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations of good places to get tapas, go see a flamenco show, and other places of interest in Granada. We highly recommend Palacio de Mariana Pineda for your stay in Granada.
