Hotel Los Girasoles by Maxi Hoteles

Folded into a narrow block on Calle San Juan de Dios, Hotel Los Girasoles sits two minutes on foot from Granada's Hospital Real and roughly ten from the cathedral quarter — a lean two-star base for budget travellers moving between the Albaicín and the train station.

Rooms are soundproofed against the street, with air conditioning and flat-screen TVs; private bathrooms come with free toiletries and a hairdryer. The 24-hour front desk handles wake-up calls and baggage storage, and a tour desk can arrange Alhambra tickets and excursions into the Sierra Nevada.

Parking is available on-site — rare at this price point in central Granada, where most budget hotels rely on paid public garages several blocks away.
