Hotel Monasterio Granada

Hotel Monasterio Granada is a mid-range hotel on Calle Gran Capitán 1 in the Cathedral area of Granada, Andalusia, Spain, postcode 18002, beside the Basilica of San Juan de Dios. Calle Gran Capitán is a short street in the heart of the old city, and the Basilica of San Juan de Dios, a Baroque church linked to the hospital order founded in Granada in the 16th century, is among the city's most ornate interiors. The hotel is about 7 minutes on foot from Granada Cathedral and about 11 from Plaza Nueva, so the Royal Chapel, the Alcaicería and the Realejo are all within an easy walk on mostly level streets. Rooms are listed as double, twin and superior categories at roughly €70–€150 per night (about $81–$173). The only amenity recorded is the Cathedral-area location, so guests should confirm Wi-Fi, air conditioning, breakfast and lift details with the hotel on +34 858 69 32 51, as no website is listed. No restaurant, pool or spa is recorded, but the surrounding streets, including Calle Elvira and the area around the Triunfo gardens, have many tapas bars and cafés where drinks traditionally come with a free tapa. The service style is that of a practical central hotel suited to couples, pilgrims to the basilica, families and independent travellers who prefer a location in the city proper to the steeper Albaicín or the Alhambra hill. Buses to the Alhambra and the train and bus stations can be reached with a short walk or ride. As in much of central Granada, prices rise in Holy Week and Corpus Christi, when processions and fairground events fill the city, so early booking is advisable. The basilica itself, which honours the founder of the Hospitaller Order, is a short stroll away and is often combined with the nearby cathedral and Royal Chapel in a single morning of sightseeing, followed by lunch in one of the surrounding tapas bars.
