Guest Reviews
Location
Breakfast
However, there were also consistent complaints about the limited variety and simplicity with some guests feeling that it did not offer enough choices. Others described the breakfast as "modest," "poor," or "meager," with the main issue being the lack of items beyond basic toast and beverages. Despite this, the convenient central location of the hotel and the overall quality of the breakfast were appreciated by many guests. Those looking for a hearty and diverse breakfast might want to explore other options, but for travelers content with a simple start to their day, the off-site breakfast arrangement can still be a pleasant experience.
Rooms
However, consistency in room quality appears to be a concern. A number of reviews pointed out discrepancies between advertised room photos and the actual room conditions. Several rooms were described as small and cramped with minimal ventilation and natural light, leading to feelings of claustrophobia for some occupants. Issues like poor soundproofing and outdated bathroom facilities were also recurrent points of criticism. Despite these downsides, the central location of the hotel often offset these drawbacks, allowing easy access to city attractions.
In conclusion, while Atenas Granada scores high on cleanliness and location, the variability in room size and amenities suggests a need for setting clear expectations for potential visitors. For those seeking convenience and breathtaking views, some rooms deliver exceptionally well, but it's advisable to verify specific room features in advance to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Beds
However, opinions vary widely with some guests finding the beds slightly hard, small or uncomfortable, especially for couples. A consistent criticism revolves around the pillows, which many find very uncomfortable and low. Additionally, a few mattresses are described as sunken, bouncy or firm, which does not suit everyone's preference. Some beds are reported as noisy or old, detracting from the overall comfort.
Despite these mixed reviews, the friendly staff, attention to detail and excellent location make the stay generally enjoyable for most visitors.
Cleanliness
Several guests find the cleaning standards impeccable, describing the place as spotless and well-organized. The hotel’s cleanliness is frequently praised with rooms frequently cleaned daily if requested and maintaining a fresh atmosphere. Some guests emphasize that the cleaning staff is fantastic and very attentive, enhancing the overall experience.
Despite the predominantly positive feedback, some reviews mention areas needing improvement. Complaints about cleanliness range from bathrooms and linens not being thoroughly cleaned to instances of unpleasant odors possibly due to cleaning with dirty water. Issues such as dirty bedsheets, lack of daily cleaning without a specific request and occasionally dirty or poorly maintained bathrooms are noted.
Overall, Atenas Granada mostly leaves guests satisfied regarding cleanliness with many enjoying a very clean and pleasant stay. However, there are instances where more attention is needed to ensure consistent cleanliness across all rooms and facilities.
Staff
The hotel is commended for having a multilingual team with staff members who can communicate in French, English and German, which enhances guest experiences, especially for international travelers. The reception staff received particular acclaim for their efficiency and willingness to provide detailed information about local attractions, dining options and transportation.
While the majority of reviews reflect positively on the staff’s dedication and pleasant demeanor, there are occasional mentions of less favorable interactions, including perceptions of unfriendliness or inefficiency. However, these instances appear to be exceptions rather than the norm.
Overall, the combination of a central location and the high standard of service provided by the staff makes Atenas Granada a well-regarded choice for travelers seeking both comfort and convenience.
Wi-Fi
However, some guests encountered issues with the wifi, particularly noting that the signal can be weak or sluggish in certain areas, especially in the rooms. There were mentions of limited wifi access in some parts of the hotel and ongoing connectivity problems. Despite some guests finding the wifi to be slow or unstable in their rooms, others commented on good internal speeds and a properly working connection.
The wifi at the reception area is specifically praised as being very good, while comments about the necessity to go to the lobby for a better connection were noted. Additionally, there were some reviews pointing out the inconvenience of obtaining the wifi password, which was not readily available or explained by the receptionists.
In summary, while Atenas Granada provides overall reliable and fast wifi in many areas of the hotel, there are spotty zones, particularly in room-specific locations, where improvements could be beneficial.
Parking
The parking area is secure and near the hotel, often just a few meters away, which adds to the convenience for guests. Some reviews highlight that parking spots can be booked in advance, ensuring a reserved space upon arrival. For those traveling with electric cars, the hotel provides charging facilities, which is a notable perk.
However, many guests have pointed out several challenges. The parking spaces are often described as tight with narrow entrances, making it difficult for larger vehicles or SUVs to maneuver. The high cost of parking, typically €19–€25 per day, is another common concern among guests. Additionally, the limited number of parking spaces means that the hotel's garage can be full, requiring guests to seek alternative parking solutions, sometimes further away.
Guests also noted that accessing the parking can be tricky due to the hotel’s central location, often on a busy pedestrian street. The parking process is sometimes seen as cumbersome with a need to request staff to open and close the parking gates.
In summary, while Atenas Granada provides several parking options that are generally secure and convenient, the high cost, limited space and difficulty in parking larger vehicles are significant considerations for potential guests. Booking parking in advance is recommended to ensure availability.
Nightlife
However, this central location comes with a caveat: noise, particularly at night, is a common issue. Many reviews mention the continuous noise from the street - cars, motorcycles and the constant buzz from nearby bars and pubs. The noise can be particularly bothersome on weekends and late into the night with some guests noting difficulty in sleeping due to the proximity of clubs and external noise filtering into the rooms. The hotel's thin walls mean that noise from other guests and the street can be quite intrusive.
While the hotel itself is comfortable and provides essential amenities, light sleepers may find the noise levels challenging. Ideal for night owls and those looking to explore Granada’s lively nightlife, 'Atenas Granada' might require some earplugs for a peaceful night’s sleep.
