Barceló Carmen Granada

“Short, sweet stay at Barcelo Carmen Granada”

We only stayed 2 nights but enjoyed this hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The location was good for seeing the sites.

“Excellent hotel - faultless”

We had a really enjoyable stay in this hotel and could not find anything to fault. We thought it represented very good value. Highlights: Aesthetically pleasing modern hotel. Very clean. Recently refurbished modern room and bathroom. Plump pillows, a coffee machine, soft large towels all the toiletries required. Roof top bar and pool. Modern decorative bar on the ground floor. Gym new equipment, 2 running machines, indoor bike and plenty of weights. Brilliant breakfast included a freshly cooked omelette station, three choices of health smoothies. Helpful and friendly staff in every role without exception. Even organised a grab and go breakfast when we had to catch an early train to the airport. Central location from which we were able to walk to all the attractions. We are motivated to use this hotel chain again.

We enjoyed very much our stay at this location. It is very central and the hotel decor is very pleasant. I thought the hotel was very clean and the superior room comfortable and with a very nice shower. The only thing they need to better is surprisingly the famous breakfast. The omelet station is not manned permanently and you need to wait till you find someone to go inside and call the cook. They supposedly prepare pancakes, which are not made on the moment - would take 1 minute - and the selection of syrups is unpleasant - with no maple at all. Why say you serve pancakes!? Microwave pancakes are not a substitute in a nice hotel. Pastry also of low quality and not good taste. There is decent variety and the homeless were very nice - once you got them done. Shame for a couple of items that are so easy to make great you blemish the experience. Otherwise the breakfast area was very nice, clean and with plenty of room. Overall very nice. Just do not expect pancakes or bother with the pastry. I know, picky first world problems :-) but just letting you know it is a fantastic place overall and the price is of good value. The breakfast is so hyped that inevitably you find something wrong…

“Typical chain hotel - superficially great”

We booked two deluxe rooms as it was the only way of ensuring we would have a room close to our teen kids.

We booked two deluxe rooms as it was the only way of ensuring we would have a room close to our teen kids. The hotel did organise the rooms right next door to each other after we had requested.When we arrived there was no space in the car park but whilst we were checking in somebody else had a valet service with their car to th car park. Despite being in one of the top rooms we were not offered this. It meant we had to spend an hour moving luggage around and going to a local car park (in the rain). We went to the bar and ordered some drinks. Only place in Spain where we had a pretty cold reception and no little snacks with our drinks. We ordered room service which could only be done via an app (menu was only found after downloading the Barceló app and no advice on this). You were unable to talk to anyone. Room service took over an hour and there was no confirmation of the reservation (it continuously said reservation pending). Room cupboard doors were sticking and so badly made that light contact didn’t turn off without taking the electricity card out of the room. Tv only allows for android not Apple for streaming. There is a Netflix button on the tv but it has been blocked. Handheld shower didn’t work. Despite room being deluxe it was tiny but bed was comfortable and terrace nice (although awning didn’t work).
