8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 82 guest reviews
Granada Hotel & Bistro earns consistently strong praise for its prime downtown location, distinctive vintage aesthetic, and warm, attentive staff. The most common drawbacks are compact room sizes, an extra charge for tricky-to-navigate parking, and a handful of minor maintenance niggles such as poor lighting and no in-room fridge. Overall sentiment across recent reviews is overwhelmingly positive, with most guests keen to return.
