Hotel America Granada in Granada

Very friendly, located inside the Alhambra. Cosa and cute.

Visited for lunch during tour of the Alhambra. Great little place.

Only just arrived & everyone is so helpful

Great restaurant in a courtyard, can recommend the calamari (grilled baby squids rather than fried rings)

Beautiful hotel on the site of the Alahambra. Very helpful staff!

Only had cerveza and jamon/cheese baguettes but fabulous after a long day at the alhambra. Incredibly friendly staff and unique atmosphere. Ernest Hemingway could have stayed here. Please experience when visiting the alhambra. You wont regret it

Food, waters and ambiance were fantastic! Our family loved this place

What an amazing location at the Alhambra. The inner courtyard/patio is absolutely incredible and cool in the summer heat. It´s the perfect spot to relax and refresh with its very natural and tranquil setting after touring the Alhambra and Generalife. The quality of the staff and service is wonderful and they are so friendly. I couldn´t recommend this place more!

Visited whilst at the Alhambra for food. Very good food and lovely service

Best place to get a meal while in or around Alhambra. Quaint and cool and high value.

We had a good lunch after a really long walk through Alhambra. The hardest hurdle will be to get the attention from waitress to get food but as soon as your are noticed everything will go fine. Recommend for tourists that are hungry after a walk in Granada

Great food and staff. Recommend the Chorizo in Jerez wine!

Only had sandwiches, they were cold, even a kid can make better ones with more ingredients.

Great food for lunch right outside the Alhambra.

The atmosphere is nice, place is lovely but food was just not good and the staff seemed really chaotic!

Was a bit worried about mixed reviews on Google, but I was really happy that I went along with it! We had a lunch at this restaurant and didn’t stay at the hotel. Not only it is a romantic spot in the middle of Alhambra, the food was pretty good. We ordered Garlic Rabbit, Mackerel Avocado salad and Tinto de verano, which were all very delicious. It is overpriced, yes, but given the location, I think it is more ridiculous to expect them to charge the same price as other restaurants outside of the palace. Overall, nice respite from the heat and the walk!

Exactly what you would expect for this location. Unfriendly and inefficient staff. Coffee and sangria were average.

Very nice place, charming, out of time, out of space, cozy place 👍🏻Staff friendly and helpful; we arrived after checking but got indication to enter late in the evening ; everything was ok. Clean room. Good location to reach main spot of Granada !

This review is about the restaurant. Did not stay at the hotel cannot write about it. To avoid...a catastrophe...food looks and tastes like ornate leftovers from some other restaurant, service...let us put it this way, a trained monkey would be a fantastic improvement...it should actually get minus 5 stars...definitely a no go...absolute tourist trap...anything is better even a sandwich from a vending machine at the airport...

Food was good but slightly overpriced. Great ambience!

Nice place to have a drink and eat a bicadillo or a salad, even if you dont stay at this hotel.

Had my eye on this place for years. Didnt manage to stay this time, but dropped in for tea, or coffee, (oh, and breakfastand to relax while my family hurtled round the Alhambra! (Been there, seen it, waiting for crowds to die down😳 before returning.)Just visit: you wont be disappointed. Unless youre looking for something different. In which case, leave it for me to enjoy!

Great place to have small plates or lunch. Good food, and the chorizo taste amazing.Very picturesque with great service!Inside the the Alhambra.

This review only refers to the food. We tried chorizo, albondigas, tortilla, lamb, tuna tomato salad, and patats fritas. The restaurant is inside a one-star hotel, so we didn’t have high expectations. The food was okay, and the staff is friendly, especially to two ladies and the more experienced gentleman. For a quick energy-boost while visiting the Alhambra, this is just fine. But don’t expect a culinary experience.

We just ate in the restaurant of the Hotel.We entered for drinks and decided to have something small to eat.Bread was hard, french fries seemed refried and full of oil and the chorizo was just normalThe coffee was good.

Small and intimate Hotel right in the center of all major activities including transportation into town. Worth the money, which was extremely reasonable compared to the bigger hotels in town. Lucia was knowledgeable, pleasant and attentive. Gave us great recommendations and information. Would visit again without hesitation.

The interiors are nice but very very disappointing service. Did not appreciate the high handedness as there was nothing special that was served and food was not of special quality. Like any tapas bar outside, just that waiters behave like they are serving at a 5star place. I ordered a fruit bowl that never turned up

Cute patio, nice service and good coffee. A great place to relax during the visit of the Alhambra

Fries not fried enough. Sandwiches made with very little effort. Not worth the price. Very sad food. Puts Spain to shame.

Restaurant review: We had lunch there while exploring Alhambra/Generalife. We ordered two sandwiches - one mixed, one tuna. BOTH were terrible. Cold, dry, stale, flavorless. Slow service. Most of the menu items werent available to order either. I recommend you pack a small lunch instead to bring in!

This rating is for the food as we did not stay at the hotel.During our visit to Alhambra we stopped off at this hotel to eat. therestaurant is actually located in the middle courtyard. Staff was very attentive and the atmosphere was wonderful. Very relaxing. I ordered the Tuna salad with a San Miguel beer. Great combination. If you are only looking for a place to eat, this is one I recommend.

This could be one of your best hotel choices in Spain. It does depend on what you want, and everyone looks for different things, but in a place so unique as Granada, why not stay in a truly unique place, like Hotel America?A paragraph on its own: the staff is delightful, charming, inviting, and really take care of you. When the early morning cab looked like it might not get there in time, the guy at the front desk was ON IT. I made the train. Absolutely. Delightful. People.(I asked the lady at the front desk, "Is your bar open?" "Yes," she said. No one was really around... so... I asked, "When does it close?" "Oh, it doesnt. Whenever you want a drink, just come down, and I will make you something." Hello? What a place!)I had a limited time in Granada; and, of course, the main thing I wanted to see was EVERYTHING up on the mountain, so when I found this place I thought, "Why not stay HERE?" Your Alhambra tickets are good for the day, so you can see stuff in the morning, go back to Hotel America to your room or eat lunch in their courtyard, then go right back out to see it again. You basically have the public areas of the precinct to yourself at night, which is SO wonderful, and if you walk down the mountain (each route has something to offer), the cab ride up is less than ten bucks.Benchmark: I go to visit an elderly aunt in south Georgia (U.S), and my petite single at Hotel America (kinda tiny, but totally fine for a couple of nightswas less expensive than the SECOND-most expensive hotel room in Waycross, Georgia. Okay?The staff here is fantastic, the entire hotel drips with authenticity and charm, and the breakfast is ample, as the terrace restaurant is both yummy and comfy. (By the way, as they do not serve dinner, walk PAST their next-door neighbors, who are convenient but incredibly rude; there looks like there are a couple places near the Generalife gates, and a couple other hotels that might do dinner, if you dont want to go down the mountain into town for dinner.)This is not just a great vacation value, it is a true gem. A true highlight of three weeks, in so many respects. No disappointment at Hotel America, just a true joy. It makes the Alhambra your home.I loved it here.

The food here is awful and the prices are horrific. I dont know how a restaurant in Spain can serve up such terrible food. We were 8 people and the only good dish was the fish of the day. There is absolutely no pride in this restaurant - the food is of the worst quality, the portion sizes awful and the prices offensive given those two points. The staff are just as offensive and lack the attention to customer service that is so typical in all of Spain. Cheap quality chicken nuggets (advertised as chicken fingersand literally 10 chips almost 10 euros - I can get proper pollo empanada with chips for 5 euros or less in most other places in Spain. This was meant to be an adult portion but left my 6 year old hungry! Ajo blanco was terrible and hadnt been blended properly so it was garlic water with almond bits - I didnt eat it. When you complain about the food they just smirk and walk away. This is a restaurant that charges high prices because of its location and provides the worst quality of food and service possible just to rip off the tourists - shame on you. I left with a 140 euro bill, still hungry and feeling robbed.

We came in for lunch and kept getting questioned if we were actually eating after sitting for two to three minutes. Then after looking at our 2 menus for 5 people (4 adults one toddlerfor a couple minutes they wanted us to order right away. When we asked for time to read the menu they told us very rudely to move to a smaller table if we werent going to order that minute (even though they had just placed us at that table we didnt just sit down where we wanted). 2 minutes after my wife grabbed napkins to clean up after our toddler who spilled milk and the lady staff (manager?took the napkins away and said only for lunch and not for cleaning.Apparently because we are Indian if we sit for too long it means we arent going to order anything and use up all the napkins. Weve travelled to many places around the world and can pick up when we are being discriminated against based on our skin colour. Ive also read reviews from other minorities with similar experiences at this restaurant. Also, the napkins that we had already touched and partially used at our tables she had put back to use for other guests. Now thats just disgusting!This is easily the worst restaurant Ive been to in my life.

Travel to Spain 2019 was awesome. Granada one of the most beautiful cities we visited, getting to visit The Alhambra a dream come true.Imagine if we would have known we could have stayed inside the property.We stopped and visited Hotel America for future reference and it is gorgeous, highly recommend!

Nice location and thats it. Poor, cheap coffee (seemed instant). When I ordered hot chocolate (which is listed as a drink on the menuI got undrinkable thick hot chocolate that goes with Churros to dip normally. When I notified them they came back later and poured lukewarm milk in a cup and gave me a bag of prefab cocoa powder. Not the most friendly staff (moody women), except for the older man, Anghel if I caught his name. He was all friendly and helpful and the only reason we left a tip.

Food in this "restaurant" is probably a joke. Sandwich with tuna and tomatoes is cheap baguette with tuna straight from the can and slices of supermarket-quality tomatoes. Calmares with salad are from frozen, budget calamari rings with ready to eat mixed salad from supermarket (with a bit of olive oil).... Just not worth the 6€/12€ respectively, even if its Alhambra. And there are hordes of sparrows flying around and peaking greedily at your food.

Dont expect much... Certainly better than buying food from a vending machine. But the sandwiches we had were mediocre at best. Not bad, but I was expecting much more for the price and beautiful location.If you just want a beer and chance to get out of the heat, stop here(its your only option)!

Dined at the cafe twice in our visit at Alhambra. Excellent respite from the 85 degree weather. Hotel America cafe is within the grounds. We had a nice simple lunch, sandwich and salad with Coke and lemonade. Later returned with friends for desserts and coffee.Prompt and efficient staff.Nice shaded courtyard with birds flying around in the overgrowth. Watch where you sit, just a warning with all the birds flying around over you.

I ordered a vegetable sandwich. It came on untoasted white bread with canned asparagus, wilted iceberg lettuce, and half of a hard boiled egg... topped with an oil of mysterious origins. On the side I recieved exactly five french fries. Lovely.

Good place to stop and have a drink and something to eat while visiting La Alhambra. Not exactly cheap but lets you enjoy a break at a shaded patioI imagine that it would be interesting to spend a night thereIts pretty much the only place in La Alhambra that serves a real good on a plate (not pre-packaged)You can get a take-away as well

The waiters were all sick, especially our one. He was coughing the whole time. They seemed very stressed out.The food was just about ok. We had egg sandwiches and chips. The bread was very crunchy and dry but this was due to toasting, I hope. The portion of chips for 6 euros was insultingly small and as someone else mentioned, they charged for ketchup.This is not McDonalds. This is a hotel and restaurant. That said, the guests just reached over reception to take their keys. Very reassuring that the room keys are safe. Glad we only ate there.Btw, it is by the alhambra and the Alhambra is amazing.

Im giving it one star for quality of the food, the price and the shock that they wanted 60 cents per sachet of ketchup. I thought this was an actual restaurant, not a fast food place. The serving time was ok for our sandwiches though. The chips were wierd. The coffee was good.Be aware that this is not a place to go eat.

Built in the 1930s, this hotel seems older. It does has alot of charm and personality and the staff is very friendly. (They tried hard to get me last minute tickets to the Alhambra.Its very picturesque. Unfortunately the room is too old in style. The beds are very soft. The heater only works a few hours a night. But the bed has 3 blankets. The lighting is poor. The free wifi is slow. The view looks over a bit of ruins (under construction). The food is not great. Overall its pricey for the experience.On the plus side, its a few steps to the Alhambra. Down side, its a far trek up and down to the city plaza where all the good food and other attractions are.I stayed one night here and two nights at Plaza Nueva. If i had to do it again, id stay just in the main city plaza.

Don’t order the safe options. I had rabbit with garlic, served with couscous n potato salad. It was nicely balanced - great flavors, tender. Sangria was good as was coffee. Service was rushed (but politebecause the restaurant was crowded at lunch. Such a welcome break during a day in the Alhambra 😀

The food is ok but the service is really bad. Although the restaurant was half empty, we got a table which was horrible, the floor was soaked and we had a view on the kitchen door and the fridge. The restaurant waiters were not at all polite and one of them treats the only waitress with spite and scorn.

The service was horrible - we had to ask for things multiple times and waited for ages just to get someones attention. The food was sub par at best. We dont understand how this is a Michelin voted restaurant. Youre better off eating before you enter the Alhambra.

I woundt say the food are excellent, they are more than ok compared what you will have in town. This is the most decent restaurant around the area. People are not the best but they are ok despite the busy lunch time.

After a very early start, and enchanting visit to the Nasrid Palace and Alcazaba, we took an early lunchbreak. Nice small courtyard setting, the service was flustered and poor, all three dishes were bad. We complained - the response "you ate half of it, and the calamar was frozen". I expected a higher price given their position, Didnt expect rudeness and the worst food weve been served in Spain. Oh, and beware of sparrows - cute bobbing about between the tables, not so good when sitting above you.

Fantastic hotel right in the Alhambra. Great for night time ambiance. It isnt cheap but the location is totally amazing. The restaurant is only open in the day and serves good food in their shady courtyard. We will come again I am sure.
