Hotel Xalteva, Granada

This place is awesome. Comfortable, great location, excellent service, amazing pool (a pleasure after exploring the town). The ONLY drawback was the dog barking throughout the night behind our unit (#202). This went on most of the night and made it difficult to sleep. The rooster crowing at 5am in the morning (for me) is a more natural sound and not as bothersome - but the dog barking was difficult to handle. Would suggest ear plugs.

While a hot 10+ minute walk to the square it is a good value and a very nice small hotel. I was not expecting this place to actually look like the photos, but it did. The "room" was fine but what surprised us was it had a kitchen, dining area and living room. The staff was amazing, very attentive and eager to please. Breakfast was limited but delicious. Security was terrific but by the looks of the neighborhood was safe and probably more for our peace of mind. We always felt safe on the street. Pool actually has a deep end and while it is relatively small it was pleasant. If you need internet, the code will log you into the strongest signal so keep it handy. The ONLY two complaint is the hot water. You have to turn on a lot of breakers so that night I thought it just had not warmed up yet. In the morning, I took a very cool shower. That afternoon I discovered the Hot was on the right not left handle. Hahaha. But it still was barely warm. Overall for what you usually get in an Central American Hotel the experience and room was terrific. We will back to Granada, it is a beautiful city and there is enough to do for days. We will stay at the Xalteva again. :-)

This was our worst experience in Granada so far. The rooms were really noisy and smelled of mold. The beds were uncomfortable making it difficult to sleep at night. We booked the room with breakfast included per our reservation with hotel.com but the hotel would not honor it, even after we presented the booking confirmation to them. We would definitely not recommend. It is geared to long terms resident stays and not suitable for short term stays.

Fantastic hotel. Lovely pool, comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. Short walk to the main historic centre. Overall a lovely hotel.
