Hotel Juan Miguel, Granada

Advantages: very central
Disadvantages: some rooms without views

...It was our first visit to Spain and we just wanted a quiet relaxing holiday. We chose Granada as we wanted to visit the historical sights. Having looked into many hotels at various costs our main priority was that it had to be very central within walking distance to sights and restaurants. We selected the Melia Granada as there was a promotion going on and we grabbed it at only €40 per night for a twin room. Our 3 night stay proved that it was the right choice being a city hotel within easy reach of everything, shops, restaurants and sights. It was easy to get to- we were pleasantly surprised to discover how simple it was to get the coach with pre- allocated seats, from Malaga to Granada and then a short taxi ride from the bus station to the hotel. Checking in was simple- we were given a room, unfortunately with no view... Read review

...We chose to visit the Holiday Inn Alicante Playa de San Juan for a week in July after having three very pleasant stays in Express by Holiday Inns in the UK. We were not sure what to expect in terms of quality, however it was probably one of the best hotels that we have ever stayed in. The cost was €94 per night for an en suite room with king size bed and an “almost double” sofa bed. The room was on the third floor of the hotel and had a view of another apartment block to the rear of the hotel. However, this did not cause any problems as the apartments were quite a distance from the hotel, therefore not blocking the panoramic view. THE HOTEL The hotel building is over 7 floors: the ground floor, floors 1 to 5 and a floor called '-1'. If you are given a room on the '-1' floor, don't think that they are shoving you...
