Excellent position to visit down center. Staff very friendly. Very good hotel.

9.3

lo consiglio caldamente, non mi spiego l'unica stella! è un hotel da 3 stelle almeno. L'unica cosa: volevano fare la stanza alle 14 del pomeriggio, orario siesta, e ci siamo trovati con la cameriera in camera, eheh! bello l'ingresso, la reception, hotel molto decoroso e stanze davvero ampie. Andateci!!

8.6

prenotatelo! ottimo albergo - moderno, nuovo e colorato - corrisponde minimo a un 3***sup. italiano, ottima la posizione, appena fuori dal centro storico ma subito nella zona dei locali e dello shopping. Bagno con Doccia idromassaggio, wireless free che non raggiunge tutte le camere, ma comunque copre tutti gli spazi comuni. Alla reception trovate anche una signora italiana che ci ha fornito molte indicazioni utili. Colazione non compresa ma tanto è solo dalle macchinette automatiche, poco male, è pieno di bar attorno.Noi ci torneremmo di sicuro.

7.6

Beds were comfortable, room was renovated and rather nice! Only recommendation is if you are going to visit Alhambra and get reservations through the hotel make sure they put your name and credit card on the reservation ticket!! We had some issues at the ticket office. Hotel was nice, rather quiet, you pay for breakfast, but internet is free! Happy Travels, I recommend this hotel!

9.4

El personal tiene un trato excelente. El hotel esta en un edificio antiguo, pero refaccionado y muy comodo. No hay servicio de desayuno, solo unas máquinas que no trabajan bien

9.4

Hotel ottimo, personale gentile e qualificato, e le suite sono splendide con un bel terrazzo dove gustarsi il fresco della sera. vivamente consigliato. Manca solo la possibilita di fare la colazione ma e' veramente un disguido da poco. buon viaggio

8.5

A bit hard to find but good location and good value for money. I wouldn't recommend access by car.

7.9

very good location, nice hotel, great view

8.1

The confirmation voucher says :- . Parking is not included in the price and costs €10,00 per day. - not true - it's 15/day. . In-room wireless Internet access is included in the price. - not true, but there is one PC to share Apart from that we were very happy. Fab location, 1 minute walk from multi-storey, quick 5-10 min walk to most central places and about 20 mins walk to Alhambra up hill. Price was even cheaper paying with cash, all above board!

8.1

There are only spanish programs at television

9.2

The driving directions with photographs of landmarks to watch out for were very helpful in finding the hotel's location. We were within walking distance to the Alhambra and the Albacin district. The staff was very helpful and made reservations for us. The room was very comfortable.

5.5

Bloody difficult to find. Can locate on the city map BUT actually getting near the place in a car is very difficult and took us 1hr and a half. The streets in the area are incredibly narrow and form a v. difficult to navigate one-way system. Parking is close but still €15/night. We changed rooms after the 2nd night but had to wait 2hrs in the lounge with our things before we could move. This caused considerable stress as we were booked into the alhambra 2-2:30pm. Made it, just with 3min to spare.

9.6

This is a very good deal, both because of good quality at a friendly price and location in the city center.

9.9

This gem is tucked away upstairs but well worth the effort. One of the best values we've seen. Clean, spacious rooms with everything we needed. Experienced staff were able to help us very quickly & efficiently with a scheduling emergency.

8.1

Great Hotel, I recommended. Good staff, clean and quiet accommodations. It's located in the center of Granada. Only the breakfest could be better.

8.1

Highly recommended for anyone looking to be within walking distance of the shops, restaurants and older areas of downtown Granada. Rooms are of surprisingly high quality, very good value. We prefeered this location over staying out at the Alhambra.

10

albergo molto carino con un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo, camere spaziose e pulite. Alla reception c'è un signore molto gentile, disponibile a dare indicazioni e che si è offerto di prenotarci i biglietti per l'Alhambra. L'ubicazione è buona, peccato che a causa di sensi unici e lavori in corso, sia molto difficile da raggiungere in auto. si può parcheggiare in un parcheggio pubblico (15 euro/giorno)nella via a fianco.

8.2

Difficult to find ,(its next to the police station)in good location as Alhambra is within a reasonable walking distance,as is city centre.Very helpfull staff.Construction was being carried out when we were there,so not as quiet as could be.Very reasonable price.

9.1

This hotel far exceeded our expectations given that it only has 1 star. It is situated on the fourth floor of the building with access via a grand public entrance hall. Out of hours the outer door is locked and you have to use the intercom to get in. As stated, the rooms have been refurbished to a modern style and are very comfortable. We had a standard double room with en-suite shower (which was excellent). When we originally booked there were few photographs on the Venere site but they have now been increased and give a good indication of what you get. We did notice that the walls were quite thin and you could easily hear people in adjacent rooms. Our room was located at the back of the hotel so did not suffer from traffic or refuse collection noise mentioned by others. The hotel is well located in the old part of the city and a good base for walking around the tourist areas. There is a small balcony with excellent views over the city. We were slightly disappointed with the (optional) breakfast and suggest using a local cafe in the nearby square. Cafe Futbol is very nice (and has nothing to do with football!!). The tourist information office is in the same square. Overall this is hotel is excellent value and we would stay there again.

8.5

Great hotel, but once again we didn't get the room as pictured in venere. We were pretty disappointed about that. We ended up getting a huge room with three twin beds in it. Not exactly romantic but it worked out. The service was good. The location was good about 20 minutes walking distance from the alahambra. 24 hr computer access was available in the lobby. The rooms were not exactly well insualted we could here everything going on in the lobby but we did have a bathroom in our room. Nice, quaint hotel we would recommend it to couples.

7.8

The hotel is located on th 4th floor of a building, very impressive main hall, and very quiet place. Despite the works that were carried out in the surrounding areas, there is little noise to disturb your stay during the day. It is very conveniently located, close to the cathedral, a supermarket is just in the corner, few bars around, and one excellent kebab shop (and tea room), highly recommended (Kebab King). No big language problem with the staff, one of them spoke perfect English, and there were very helpful. One minor issue was the fact that breakfast was not included, so you have to use the machine for coffee/tea/etc (1€), and order toast/croissant/etc separately.Overall, excellent stay in the hotel.

9.9

The hotel is in an excellent location, within 5 minutes walk of the Sierpes shopping/pedestrian street and a quick 10 minute walk down to the Cathedral/Alcazar location. Not being right near the tourist spots meant the location was nice and quiet, easy to get to via taxi, and had a number of good restaurants/bars close by. The Belles Artes museum is a must-see and is just a few yards away.

8.9

Difficult to reach by car. A route description would be helpfull.

9.0

Excellent hotel for the price!

8.7

Nice place to stay. Friendly staff. Good value for money.

8.0

The Hotel occupies the 4th. floor of a tall building. The way up did not seem to be clearly defined, but take the lift up from the ground floor entance. The Hotel is more than adequatel, and is a 10 min. walk to the Alhambra bus and the bus to the main Coach Station (on the outskirts.)

8.3

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had an enjoyable stay. Strongly recommend it.

8.1

The hotel was very clean and the room was excellent value. I was concerned, reading previous comments, that the staff would not understand me very well and would not be helpful. This could not be further from the truth. English was easily understood and the staff on reception who dealt with us spoke very good English. We were helped with directions, and finding places to eat which they recommended (and which were very good). I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to spend time in Granada. It is quite central. The only down side, is that the council collect the rubbish from outside the hotel in the middle of the night, and they are certainly not quiet. This has not the fault of the hotel and is probably a problem in other parts of the city.

9.8

The receptionist was very kindly and she offered and made arrangements and reservations for other services.

8.9

Phonic insulation between rooms ia a bit weak

7.4

ES una ciudad maravillosa con gente maravillosa. El hotel me parecio ideal por estar en el centro, cerca de todo pero muy tranquilo y sin ruidos. El personal muy amable aunque no te informan de lo que puedes hacer en la ciudad.

8.2

Location near police station. Not noisy. Well located for walking everywhere. Slight language barrier. Parking 12 eu./day around the corner. 10 min. walk to bus for Alhambra ride up, walk back. Husband loved Cafe Futbol for breakfast! just down 1 block near Tourist office.

10

Much better than a one star!!!!

6.3

We asked the receptionist to book a reservation to visit the Alhambra at 10:00. We paid €2 for this service and when we got to Alhambra, the reservation was not valid. We had to wait until 15:00 to gain entry, hence making us have to change our plans.

6.4

Hotel was well positioned but was a little difficult to find (take a taxi!). The room was comfortable and spacious with little to complain about. Other hotel facilities were minimal but as expected for a * hotel. Free internet was a bonus. Overall highly rated for price.

7.1

I have a nice stay in Carlo V, all is clean and comfortable, optimal for a single or a couple that want to visit Granada for a few days.

5.2

Il "Carlos V" è un hotel economico, e si vede. Al mattino, dalle 10, fino ad un'ora imprecisata, manca l'acqua. E' collocato al centro di una Granada impossibile da girare in auto, le indicazioni, nonostante il navigatore satellitare, restano criptiche finchè non si molla l'auto e si comincia a girare Granada a piedi. il primo impatto è devastante!!! Le due impiegate con cui abbiamo avuto a che fare, nonostante la gentilezza, erano arrivate a sostenere che la nostra prenotazione fosse stata cancellata. L'aver dormito lì, è stato più un favore che altro. Terzo punto, il più scandaloso: l'insonorizzazione delle stanze. Inesistente!! Gli spostamenti di chiunque, dentro e fuori la camera, erano di dominio pubblico!! Da dire che, per 38 euro a camera, si puo' pretendere poco di più... Granada è una gran bella città!! Da non perdere!!

8.6

Excellent location and great value for money.

8.5

Stayed for 3 nights in Granada. The Carlos V provides an excellent and central base to explore the town.

8.6

Ottima posizione ed ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Consigliato

9.0

Hotel situato in posizione centrale dall'ottimo rapporto prezzo/qualità. Offre anche una postazione internet gratuita. Camere pulite, spaziose con tutti i confort. Peccato per la mancanza di un frigo-bar (ma c'è un ottimo ed economico supermarket proprio sotto l'hotel che vende bibite fresche). Parcheggio (a pagamento) a 50 metri. Per ragggiungere l'hotel in auto seguite le indicazioni per l'Alhambra e poi scendete nel centro storico. Non dimenticate di indicare alla reception la targa della vostra auto perchè il centro di Granada è a traffico limitato e potreste vedervi recapitare a casa una multa!

6.1

The hotel is on the 4th floor of an appartment/office building - which is a surprise at first. Nevertheless, it is relatively new, clean and well appointed. Breakfast is available (coffee, croissants etc) at a very modest price and there is a balcony with fine views across the city to the south and southwest. We had a room on the corner of the building so street noise was a little intrusive but by no means unbearable. It is central, just 5 mins walk from the Plaza Neuva and 15 mins to the entrance of the Alhambra complex. The reception staff speak little english (nothing new there) and could come over as surley. Getting to the hotel - possible by car tho' the streets are a maze in this older part of Granada and I don't think that parking was that easy. If you arrive by rail, as we did, don't expect to be overwhelmed with signing of where to find buses or directions to the town centre. However, what you need to do is go straight ahead out of the station up to the Gran Via and catch the No23 bus (going into town)(1 euro fare) and there is a stop 30m from the hotel. Oh, the things you wish you knew beforehand! Granada itself - probably worth 2 days stay, one half day of which will be dedicated to the Alhambra - outstanding but don't forget to book your visit time slot on-line. Lots of good places to eat within 5 mins walk of the hotel - 'Siete Penques' on Plz Santa Suarez does a set meal for 8.60 euro. Avoid the tourist prices between Plaza Nueva and Plaza Santa Anna. Otherwise, enjoy!

9.5

La signora che ci ha accolte alla reception è stata molto gentile e disponibile, le stanze con doccia grande e bidet, e tv in camera, ottima posizione centrale e ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Lo consiglio vivamente.

8.5

Don't let the area outside the hotel deter you. The rooms are even more attractive than shown. The location is a bit iffy - I can't tell if the area is working-class or less; but there were certainly no security incidences with the police commissioner's office next door. Tourist Information is just a few blocks away. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I woke up late; and the early morning clerk was wonderful in checking me out of my room, getting a taxi for me and getting me to my train on time. Thank you kind sir! Walls are thin - but that's Europe! Yes, the addition of a chest of drawers in the spacious closet would be helpful. Free Internet and the lovely balcony were a bonus. I'd stay there again.

8.0

we hope we have a place of parking for the car in the hotel garage, but the hotel does n't have a garage, it is a public garage very expansive

8.9

ottimo rapporto prezzo qualità, vicino all'ufficio turistico, posizionato tra le arterie cittadine e il quartiere ebraico

7.8

The hotel is very well located and the rooms of good standard. A lot of good restaurants close by and Alhambra in walking distance. Difficult to find the hotel by car and to find a parking space but a garage nearby with special deal for hotel clients. Breakfast was okay but somehow slow service. Internet available free of charge.

9.5

It was really a very present stay in this small but very lovely hotel. It was clean, quite, comfortable, near the center. What else can you expect for this low price?? It has excellent quality for a hotel just with one star. We were very satisfied.

9.7

Un excellent rapport qualité-prix pour les chambres. Bien situé à Grenade, tout est accessible à pied. A recommander. La seule difficulté, l'accès en voiture, il faudrait indiquer les sens interdits sur le plan...et le garage public n'est pas très pratique pour une grosse voiture!
