Hotel Maciá Granada Five Senses Rooms & Suites

It was a lovely property, we were in a room with the bathtub at the base. Our main reason for choosing this location was because they are one of the few hotels with a pool that is OPEN in October (most hotels close their pools for a few months) with the heat it was such a relief to be able to take a dip albeit a little frosty. The staff were lovely and the room was clean (kind of reminded us of a cruise ship room with its styling -but very comfortable and spacious) we enjoyed our stay so much we extended one night.

The location was perfect for exploring the city on foot. It’s a c15 min brisk walk from the train station. The staff were friendly & any taxis we requested arrived within a few minutes. We had the junior suite with the outdoor terrace which was fun - the jacuzzi takes quite a while to fill up though! It was my husband’s birthday whilst we were there & we were touched that they left a card & a bottle of Prosecco for him. The tiny plunge pool (it isn’t a swimming pool as described!) & loungers on the roof was a nice spot to chill out at the end of a busy day exploring. The breakfast offerings were perfectly satisfactory to set you up for the day.

Centrally located, close to the historic old city centre, easily walkable to restaurants/shops and the riverfront restaurants in the Albacin area. Bus/taxi to the Alhambra was easily located on the main road directly outside the hotel. Parking is c. 20 euros per night in a very small underground car park, but the staff will park it for you and bring it out of the garage when you need it. The rooftop pool is very small (we knew this from other reviews so it was expected), ok to have a very cold dip, but as you might expect, it can get very busy and many people struggled to find a sunlounger/chair so just be aware that you may not find anywhere to sit mid-afternoon as everyone wants to cool off after sightseeing later in the day! Would stay again if we visited Granada. We didn't pay for breakfast, as we prefer to eat at local cafes and there are lots nearby the hotel. Staff were welcoming. St Germain bar immediately opposite was great - full of locals and the tapas was excellent with a great choice of music playing. A hidden gem which we were pleased to find!

Well located hotel near to the cathedral, Moroccan area, restaurants and shops. Can use a taxi or bus to visit the Alhambra. Lovely breakfast buffet if you want this. Small plunge pool with some sunbeds on the roof with nice view over the city. Also gym and wellness facilities but we didn't use these. Rooms are comfortable and the hotel has a small bar area. Helpful staff!

Great location for shops, cathedral, bus to Alhambra (use C30 bus its direct to Alhambra) modern comfortable room, nice continental breakfast, lovely staff, bonus of a pool on the roof (although very small maximum capacity 6 person!) Also on the roof 8 sunbeds, and a couple of tables with chairs, we stayed 3 nights and found only the first day we had an issue getting a sunbed in the afternoon. Comfy beds, if you like the firm european mattress.
