Guest Reviews
Location
Set in a vibrant yet tranquil area, the hotel provides easy access to a plethora of restaurants, bars and shops, as well as public transportation options, making it simple to navigate around the city. For guests driving in, the hotel’s nearness to the highway and ample parking facilities are additional pluses.
Despite its central location, the hotel manages to offer a peaceful retreat, away from the hustle and bustle, ensuring a restful stay. Whether visitors are in Granada for cultural exploration, a university visit or simply to enjoy the city's culinary delights, 'Don Juan' stands out as an ideal choice due to its unbeatable location, comfort and value for money.
Breakfast
Guests frequently mention the breakfast as very good, delicious and even spectacular with specific praise for the ample fruit options and availability of prepared meals like churros. The breakfast is often described as great value for money, especially at a price point of around 9 euros. Staff attentiveness is also noted positively, ensuring that the buffet is well-stocked and dining areas are clean and organized.
However, not all reviews are glowing. Some guests found the breakfast to be average or in need of more variety, particularly in terms of pastries and breads. A few noted that the breakfast was not worth the price or found it basic and unimpressive, suggesting room for improvement in freshness and assortment.
Overall, the breakfast at Don Juan Hotel leaves a mostly favorable impression, enhancing the stay for many guests with its comprehensive and enjoyable offerings.
Dinner
Despite this, there are some logistical limitations; dinner service isn't always available and some guests have noted the dining room being reserved for breakfast or group meals only. For those unable to dine at the hotel, its location proves advantageous with excellent Italian and traditional restaurants, as well as bars in close proximity, providing high-quality meals at fair prices.
Restaurant staff receive commendations for their attentiveness and helpfulness, contributing positively to the overall dining experience. For a more varied culinary experience, the hotel's vicinity to good restaurants ensures guests have ample dining options.
Rooms
However, there's a consistent theme of outdated furnishings and a need for renovation across many rooms. Some guests found the decor and facilities rather old-fashioned with issues such as damaged furniture, poor lighting and faulty air conditioning units being commonly reported. The temperature of the showers was frequently problematic, fluctuating between scalding hot and freezing cold. Noise was another downside, both from within the hotel corridors and from the street outside.
While the rooms are clean, maintenance seems to be an issue. Elements like broken hairdryers, non-functional TVs and poor water pressure detracted from the overall experience. Odors ranging from dampness to smoke were occasional complaints, suggesting better room ventilation is needed. Despite some negative points, many guests found the rooms adequate for short-term stays and appreciated the value for the price. With some updating and attention to maintenance, ‘Don Juan’ has the potential to provide a more consistent and comfortable stay.
Beds
There are instances of the hotel making improvements, such as updating mattresses, which were noted to be comfortable post-renovation. However, occasional comments indicate that some beds and mattresses had noticeable wear or caused discomfort due to their condition. Cleanliness of the sheets and bedspreads also received mixed feedback, ranging from commendations on cleanliness to concerns about dirt and stains.
Overall, while the majority of guests seem to enjoy a comfortable night's sleep with cozy and well-maintained beds, there are sporadic issues with mattress firmness, pillow quality and bed size that potential visitors should consider.
Cleanliness
However, some guests pointed out inconsistencies in the cleanliness. There were occasional mentions of rooms being "dusty," and some reviews highlighted maintenance issues in older rooms, such as "moisture", "chipped bathtubs," and "mouldy bathroom door frames." Housekeeping could sometimes be hit-or-miss with reports of "dust in corners" and "hairs on sheets," indicating areas for improvement. Some guests also noted occasional lapses like "dirty towels" or "residue in the bathtub."
Despite these discrepancies, guests often found the overall cleanliness to be good, especially for a 3-star establishment. The staff's attentiveness and efficient housekeeping were positively acknowledged, contributing to a generally pleasant stay. The hotel's clean environment, coupled with its comfortable, well-equipped rooms and a central location, makes it a good value-for-money option, although with certain aspects requiring closer attention to detail.

Wi-Fi
Parking
However, there are considerable challenges noted by other guests. The hotel lacks its own dedicated parking lot and finding a free parking spot can be difficult due to the area’s blue zone parking restrictions. Public parking can be far, expensive or limited to short stays with some parking garages located several blocks away from the hotel. On-street parking may also be problematic with limited availability and potential high costs. These difficulties can make parking a hassle, adding a layer of inconvenience to the stay, especially for those who are not prepared for the potential costs or searching time.
Overall, while there are good value parking options nearby, the lack of on-site parking and the challenges with high demand parking zones could lead to a mixed experience for guests depending on their timing and parking needs.
Family
Reviewers have highlighted the comfort of the accommodations, even noting that rollaway beds provided for additional family members are quite comfortable. The hotel is particularly noted for its welcoming and homely atmosphere, which has left many guests feeling well cared for during their stays. The courteous and attentive staff further contribute to this family-oriented ambiance, making it a highly recommended destination for family visits.
Cleanliness and quietness are also notable merits of the hotel, both of which contribute to a restful and enjoyable family stay. Whether planning a short visit or an extended family vacation, 'Don Juan' provides a reliable and pleasant experience, highly regarded by families who have stayed there.
Nightlife
However, this vibrant setting comes with a drawback: significant noise during the night. Guests frequently mention disturbances from nearby pubs, discos and street noise, which often continue into the early hours of the morning. The noise from local bars, nightclubs and even fellow guests can be disruptive, affecting the ability to sleep soundly. Rooms, while clean and serviced by attentive staff, suffer from poor soundproofing, allowing the external noise to penetrate and further impact the overall comfort.
Despite these challenges, the hotel staff are frequently described as nice and attentive, striving to create a positive experience for visitors. For travelers seeking proximity to nightlife and an active evening scene, 'Don Juan' is conveniently located, although potential guests should be prepared for a noisy environment, especially on weekends.
3 Star
The breakfast receives commendation, particularly for a three-star establishment, enhancing the start of the day for guests. Basic services are met, making it appropriate for short stays. Despite this, the hotel does have its drawbacks. Multiple reviews suggest that the rooms are on the smaller side, which may not align with everyone's expectations for a three-star hotel. Some mention the need for a remodel, particularly in the lobby, as well as poor sound insulation and issues with water pressure and temperature in the showers. The beds are noted to be quite hard.
While some feel that 'Don Juan' doesn't fully live up to its three-star rating, it still offers sufficient quality for its rating and many guests express a desire to return. Overall, it provides a decent, cost-efficient option for those looking for basic accommodations.
Business
Accessible
The hotel is described as having good disabled access in many areas, including the addition of a ramp at the entrance. However, some reviews point out areas for improvement, such as the need for better ramps and more accessible room facilities. Despite these areas for improvement, many guests found the hotel’s facilities to be good, especially considering its central urban setting.
The access to the elevator is crucial, although some have noted the absence of a ramp there. While the hotel has taken steps to address these concerns, including the provision of mini-ramps, there are mentions of occasional difficulties in reaching the reception.
Overall, Don Juan is considered a very accessible hotel with many guests appreciating its strategic location and the efforts made to accommodate those with disabilities. A clean and comfortable stay is generally assured, making it a positive choice for travelers with specific accessibility needs.
