We stayed at the Barceló for my wife’s birthday weekend and had a fantastic stay.
This is a large hotel located about a 20-minute walk from the centre of Granada. It has easy access and a large underground car park, costing €18 per night.
Our room was very clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed, kettle, and fridge. The bathroom was perfectly adequate, although the quite powerful shower is positioned over the bath with only a small shower screen, making it easy to unintentionally soak the bathroom floor.
Breakfast was excellent, with an impressive range of choices. We particularly liked being seated rather than having to search for a table ourselves.
We visited the hotel’s rice restaurant one evening and the paella was delicious. We also had a lunchtime snack in the lobby bar, which was both good value and very tasty.
The spa was pleasant, although the variety of spa showers felt a little unusual and, in truth, not especially appealing. We had a couples massage which was excellent and very enjoyable. My only criticism was that robes were not provided to walk through the communal area to the massage room.
Our only real disappointment was the gym and swimming pool. Both appear much larger and more spacious in the cleverly taken photographs. While the terrace around the pool is very pleasant, with a small bar and fantastic views, the pool itself is tiny. We also found the gym rather claustrophobic, with a limited range of equipment and weights only going up to 10 kg
