You are spoiled for choice in Granada for good, reasonably priced hotels and hostels, but even so, you must book well in advance over the holiday period. I recommend the following for their situation and quality/price ratio:

Hostal Britz

C/ Cuesta de Gómerez, 1

Tel: 958 22 36 52

Price: Singles/Doubles 2.300/3.500 or 3.600/5.000 with bath in room

Where to stay in Madrid *

For those of you who have not travelled to Spain before, and after a long flight and in need of sleep, I would recommend the comforts of hotel accommodation if you decide to stay in Madrid before heading down to Granada. In a capital city, safety is also a key factor in choosing where to stay and the fact that hotels have a ground floor entrance and the main door is never closed, make them a safer option when going back to the hotel to sleep after dark. The hotel I recommend, for its comfort, situation and price/quality ratio is:

Hotel Alexandra

C/ San Bernardo, 29 – 31

28015 Madrid

Tel: 91 542 04 00

Fax: 91 559 28 25

Price: Single or double approx. 10.000 ptas

If you want to pay less and have no choice but to stay in a hostel, I recommend this one, which is situated at about 200 metres from the Puerta del Sol:

Hostal Residencia

Don Alfonso

Plaza Celenque 1, 2º (A side street of C/ Arenal)

Tel: 91 531 98 40

Price: Single 3.100 – 4.500 ptas

Double 4.500 – 5.350 ptas
 
 

* If you want to stay in Madrid over Christmas or the New Year be sure to book well in advance.
