Hotels in der Nähe von Jimenez Mariscal, Granada

We missed visiting the Alhambra in '96 because we were getting ready for the Dakar Rally and ran short on time. So, this time we decided to do it right and stay nearby. Extremely comfortable and clean rooms, relentlessly helpful staff and an wayback-machine ambiance. Kind of olden-day, grand hotel. It is only a few minutes walk to the Alhambra - and no big uphill trudge.

Good location, good value for money, good rooms, close to many major sightseeing attractions, many restaurants/stores/supermarkets nearby, close to airport bus stop and citybus stops......... Did not expect it was such a good place to stay, given the ”hostel” name. Chose the Toc Hostel because of its convenient location and not too many ”last-moment” choices. Booked the single room with private bathroom (avoided the dormitories with shared bathrooms), and was further updgraded to family(?) room upon check-in. The accommodation was better than many mid-range hotels; clean, quiet and spacious. One drawback/point to note: the daily continental breakfasts were rather simple, and only started at 8am; rather too late if you booked early day-tours.

Wir waren im Juli/August 12 Tage in Granada, das Hotel hat uns das Leben sehr erleichtert. Wir hatten es eigentlich wegen der Nähe zur Wohnung unserer spanischen Verwandten ausgesucht, unsere hohen Erwartungen (darf man bei 4 Sternen ja wohl haben) wurden übertroffen. Angenehm schon die Lage: Nahe der Jardines del triumfo, zur Kathedrale zu Fuß knapp 30 Minuten. Granada ist an sich anstrengend: VielKultur, viel Ethik aus der Zeit der Mauren, viele Touristen, das alles stürzt auf einen ein, mental und sehr real. Da ist es schön, etwas am Rande zu wohnen, Ruhe zu haben und Bares , Bodegas und Restaurantes in der Nähe zu wissen, wo fast nur Einheimische sind. Und wenn man müde ist, vom Taxistand an den Jardines aus zur Plaza Nueva, genau unter der Alhambra, zahlt man 5€, nicht mehr. Das Zimmer war praktisch: riesiges Bett, großer, innenbeleuchteter Kleiderschrank, Schreibtisch für alle Döschen, Bücher, etc, gute Klimaanlage. Das Fenster ging auf einen großen Hof, wir empfanden das eher als angenehmen Blick in das Leben der Einwohner. Gute Nachttische und Nachttischlampen. Im Bad sehr viele Abstellmöglichkeiten. Das Hotel ist groß, hat aber auch drei Aufzüge. Das Personal ließ uns völlig in Ruhe, half andererseits , wenn wir etwas brauchten. Wir hatten das Gefühl, ein eigenes kleines Apartment in Granada zu haben. Und bei den Sommertemperaturen hatten wir das auch nötig. Es gibt ein Frühstücksbuffet und eine Bar, aber ein Tipp: Man kan auch links vom Eingang oder 100m rechts in kleinen Bares frühstücken, das ist einfach, aber gut (z.B. Kaffee, Toast mit Butter/Marmelade oder Tostada mit Tomate und Olivenöl, dazu ein Glas frischgepresster Orangensaft für 5-6€, das ist nicht überteuert.) Wir haben für 12 Nächte 92o€ gezahlt, das ist nicht billig, für die Qualität aber auch mehr als fair. Teuer werden extras wie Traingsgeräte, Beauty,... . Das Schwimmbad auf dem Dach ist gratis, hat sogar einen Lift für Menschen mit Behinderung. Das Hotel hat wohl eine eigene Garage, sonst gibt es eine riesige Garage unter der Avenida (nicht günstig, aber gut). Wir werden sicher wieder hier wohnen, wenn wir wieder in Granada sind.

It's a clean hotel with friendly staff. Price is reasonable for all the amenities it has. Very ideally located with easy access to attractions and restaurants. Because it's centrally located, very easy to get taxis too without any hassle. Will recommend this highly!

The hotel has 2 strong sides: the location, and the staff. I must mention the Front Desk staff, very friendly and accommodating, with quick check in, and check out process. Whoever owns the place, has to bear in mind that even the most amazing staff will, sooner or later, stop covering up any other failures. Good staff members will start leaving the place for a better one as they will be ashamed to work at such a crappy place. I come from the hospitality industry, and I can clearly identify problems in the hotel, which is a low budget given by the owner/owners, or poor management. CLEANLINESS: In my opinion housekeeping staff is not given enough time to clean the rooms properly. When we checked in, the bed tables, including the phone, were literally covered with dust. Therefore there were ants in the room, and the bathroom ceiling and walls were full of mould. I don't understand, nowadays you can easily get environmentally friendly detergents for the mould, and for ants. BREAKFAST BUFFET QUALITY: Even though the variety of products was very wide, the quality was incredibly poor. The cheapest stuff that would be normal to get in the hostel or student sort of accommodation, but not in the 4 star hotel. Very bitter, and burned coffee from the self service coffee machine (1 out of 2 was out of order by the way), green clumps in scrambled eggs, and totally green, not ready to eat bananas.... All these should not be served in the 4* hotel. AMENITIES: We were quite surprised there was no ironing board in the room, normally there are 4* hotels. We asked Reception around 11pm about the possibility of getting it to the room, but the Night Receptionist was clueless where he could find it, and asked to come back in the morning. This situation should not happen as the night shift members should be most experienced, and most aware of all the hotel aspects. We could not wait to do ironing until the morning so I had to do it on the bed. Thank God we had an iron in the car so I was able to prepare our outfits for the wedding the following day.

Dieses Hotel hat keine Seele. Es ist eine dumme und dreary Lauf des Mill Hotels. Wir haben für zwei Nächte am 15. Mai und 16 2023 geblieben. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit, aber das Hotel bietet keinem Niveau. Wir hatten ein superer lustiges Zimmer mit Balkon. Es kann am besten als durchschnittlich bezeichnet werden, mit der Zugabe von Badekleider. Absolut nichts zu schreiben zu Hause. Kleines Zimmer mit einem komfortablen Bett. Es gibt keinen Loungeraum zu reden und die Bar hat ein Straßenkaffee Gefühl für sie.

Found it easily. The staff were very helpful. The room was very clean and a good size and the bathroom was very roomy. The bed was enormous but, as is often the case, it was 2 large single pushed together and not one double mattress. However given the size of each that wasn’t too much of a problem. The room safe is not secured to a wall but screwed to a panel in the wardrobe. It could have easily been removed had anyone got into the room. Also there was no kettle in the room but that is not unusual these days. The hotel restaurant was good and well priced with a range of interesting dishes and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. The hotel was only 10 minute stroll from the final stop of the airport bus which was great.

Ok hotel out of centre, so good if you arrive by car. Taxi to city centre ca. 7-8eur. Cheap price, so value for money. There is no ”normal” bathroom: toilet seat is behind a matt glass door, the wash basin is in the room next to the bed, and the shower is in one ”cabinet” behind only a curtain or sliding door (we had two rooms, so the other had really only a curtain separating the shower from the bedroom area). So there is not as much privacy as usually in a normal bathroom. Small pool ok. Room was clean.
