I had a mixed experience at Barcelo Carmen Granada. The location was fantastic, with easy access to local tapas bars and key attractions. but the noise from the rooftop bar was quite disruptive. The rooms were spacious and clean, yet some maintenance issues were noticeable. Overall, it has potential, but it fell short of the expectations I had for a 4-star hotel.

The facilities included a pool, which, although visually appealing from photos, felt quite small for a hotel of this size. Valet parking was convenient, but I did encounter issues when trying to eat on the terrace, as service was disappointing.

I had a mixed experience at Barcelo Carmen Granada. The location is excellent, offering easy access to popular sights, but the room situation left much to be desired. While the staff at breakfast were quite accommodating, the reception staff's lack of warmth was disappointing. Overall, it was clean and modern, yet the service issues overshadowed the positives.

I was initially disappointed with the room. advertised as 'superior', but felt more like a bunker. After switching to a junior suite, I appreciated the sunlight, though the boxed-in terrace detracted from the experience.
