Pension Martinez - Granada

The kindness and the disposability of the personal

The Pension is well located and the staff is very friendly. It is a good value for the price.

The lack of air-conditioning can be challenging in hot weather. There is no elevator, but the staff is helpful with bags.

Very welcoming, basic, clean and secure accomodation. Owner of the property was very nice and couldn't do enough to help, with an amazing ability to communicate with us despite that fact we could not speak Spanish and she could not speak much English! Free parking, is south of the river and about 10-15 minutes walk from the accomodation. If you are not used to Spain (which we were not) you need to park in the bays marked with white dotted lines (blue bays are on parking meters). 10 minute walk into the centre of Granada, where there are a wealth of shops, bars and restaurants. Overall, I would recommend this accomodation since it is good value, secure and a short walk from the centre/attractions.

Staying in July, the room was quite warm at night and with the streets being busy until late into the evening, could sometimes be a little noisy - although not too much of a problem us.

Too essential services despite the low price. Avoid the room with four beds for those suffering from claustrophobia!

Location, service, staff. The Martinez's is in the very center of Granada. In 5 minutes by walk you are in the cathedral, and the tapas and shopping areas. The staff is very helpful. If you need, a employee goes with you to find a place to park. Very near the hostel there is a tourist information office. You can leave your lugagge as long as you want in the hostel. We had the bus at 21:00, so we could seize the day in the city without our bagagge. It is for free.The rooms are, overall, very clean. You can smell the cleaning product when you go into the room. You can watch tv and there is internet. If the staff dont know something, they look for on the internet. There is a bus stop to the airport very near. There is a very big department store (Corte Ingles) behind the hostel, as well as a very big market where you can buy something to eat or whatever, at real prices (not for tourists)

According to the price-quality relation, there is nothing that I can say. It is not a five stars hotel, but for the price it a very good option. You can have a private room with your own full bathroom, at very similar price in a dorm, but with more privacy.

Really nice and clean room. For this price you couldn't expect more. I would stay there again.

Free parking is a street about 500 meters away from hostel and there's no garanty you find a space for parking.

Very helpful and friendly staff available at all times. Good value low budget hotel.

At the moment (June 2011) there is construction work going on about two meters away from the window/balcony (rooms facing the street).

The location was great. Fabulous tapas bar around the corner, free tapas with your drink. Staff were so friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Told us to email them if we needed any help after leaving them. Room very clean with balcony.

Location while great was quite noisy, and one staff member spoke no English, and we spoke no Spanish. She was lovely and tried very hard, however made communication a little difficult.

The room was clean and attractive and functioned well for our needs. The location is excellent as it is located in the old town of Granada and really close to walk to the wonderful historic attractions of this city. The staff were very friendly and one of them spoke English and was very helpful. There was free WIfi which was at a reasonable speed. At e$45 per night, it was good value. Really nice restaurants are very close by. The only downside was parking - we had a fairly long walk to find a free park. You can get paid parking close by but we didn´t want to pay the e$15. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wanted a well priced hotel in a great area.

There were no negatives for us except the parking which would not be a problem for most travellers. The hotel was fine!

Very friendly staff, solved any issue, partially in English :-), free parking nearby about 300-500 metres

Not easy to find by car,

Very friendly and kind owners, clean and nice rooms, excellent location.

Rafael, the staff who works there can speak English. His brother only speaks Spanish. Their mother is a nice lady. the location is close to the centre of Granada and its quite convenient to visit the scenic spots nearby.

Excellent service! Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Location is good as it is little away (5 min walk) from the noisy city centre. Highly recommend

Be careful, free parking is located in more than 1000 meters from the hotel. It was hard to find the hotel, cause it situated on a little and dirty and smelly street. 20-30 mins to city centre

The location is quite good to visit Granada. The only thing that stressed us a bit was a construction site opposite the hotel . They started working early in the morning, and since there was no air conditioning system, we had to keep windows open. However, it's a great value for money. We liked the staff. The owner (we thought the guy was an owner) was very friendly. He even ordered us tickets to Alhambra. So, if you want to stay in Granada a couple of nights and don't ask for luxury, it's a hotel that you can choose.
