About
Hotel Carlos V
Hotel Carlos V sits on Plaza de los Campos, a quiet square just a short walk from Granada's lively centre. The building holds a supermarket on the ground floor and a snack room with a small balcony for guests. Rooms are simple but well-kept, with modern decor and a choice of layouts from singles to quadrupeds.
Staff are consistently singled out for being warm and helpful, and the hotel's position makes it easy to explore on foot — the Alhambra, the tapas area and the main shopping streets are all within reach. Given the price, the value is strong even if the facilities stay basic.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Staff are a standout — Guests repeatedly mention the friendly, helpful team, from check-in to local recommendations for tapas and drinks. It's the kind of service that makes a budget stay feel personal.
- Quiet but central location — Plaza de los Campos keeps you away from Gran Via's noise, yet the centre, tapas bars and Alhambra are within a short walk. A supermarket sits on the building's ground floor.
- Rooms exceed the one-star label — Many guests are surprised by the spaciousness, modern decor and comfort. Air conditioning and heating are standard, and some rooms have balconies or terraces.
- Good value for the price — With rates from £141 and facilities that often outshine the star rating, guests describe the hotel as a bargain, especially given the central position.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic facilities — The hotel is simple: no pool, gym or restaurant, and the breakfast offering is described as limited in variety. It's a base for exploring, not a destination in itself.
- Rooms can feel small for groups — A few guests found the triple and quad rooms tight for the number of beds, even if the decor and cleanliness were praised.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 21:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals. Plan accordingly.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this property won't accommodate them.

8.4Verified guest“Central location, rooms with good proportions, and a decor that felt tasteful.”
8.4Verified guest“The rooms were relaxing and the air conditioning worked well.”
8.4Verified guest“This place deserves more than its single star. The rooms and facilities are spacious and comfortable, staff are very friendly, and the location is excellent with everything within walking distance. Breakfast was basic but fine.”
8.4Verified guest“Location was close to everything I wanted to see. The room was very spacious with lovely views; the price likely depends on having a view. We enjoyed the small terrace. The bathroom was large and clean with a jacuzzi tub, though I prefer a normal shower.”
8.4Verified guest“Great location to explore and experience Granada. Very friendly, helpful staff.”
8.4Verified guest“The hotel is on a quiet plaza, a great escape from busy Gran Via, yet only blocks away from restaurants and shops. Rooms have a unique modern decor. The hotel occupies the 4th floor with a snack room and balcony. Our quad room was spacious with a large modern bathroom. A grocery store is on the ground floor. Private parking costs 10 euros/day, better than the garage's 15 euros. Driving directions with photos were easy to follow.”
