We stayed 3 nights at the Luna Arabial while we were in Granada and were happy with our stay.

It's location about 15 minutes' walk from the town centre (i.e. the Cathedral), but if you don't feel like walking, there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel and another about 5 minutes' walk away on the parallel main road, Carmina de Ronda. Both bus stops seem to have very regular buses going into town or out of town to the main bus station. Granada's sight-seeing hop on/off tour bus also stops at the bus stop right in front of the hotel. The only minor snag is that there is no bus time-table for the sight-seeing bus there, so, you don't really know how long you need to wait for the next tour bus.

The 3-star Luna Arabial is the annex to the 4-star Gran Luna hotel which you will see on the main street. To get to the Luna Arabial, you have to go round the corner and turn right. If you can't find it, just got back to the 4-star Gran Luna and ask for directions. It's part of the same hotel group so they won't think you are being cheeky!

Our twin room looked like a small studio flat. There was a kitchen with a working fridge, sink and an electric hob (though no cooking utensils / cutlery provided), a small dining table for two , a TV (only Spanish channels) and 2 large single beds which you can put together / pull apart. The bathroom is pretty big - accommodating a bathtub/shower unit, toilet, bidet, sink unit and lots of space to hang towels. Shower worked well - good water pressure and ample hot water. Our only complaint was that our shower seemed to spray water all over the bathroom floor, despite all our efforts to contain it. Consequently, we found water leaking into the bedroom, under the dividing wall, everytime we had a shower! Still, it was fairly minor and the staff were very apolegetic about it when we complained about it and sent someone to clean up and fix it immediately.

We found the room quite noisy, despite closing the windows, as our room was quite near the main road. However, again, it wasn't a big problem for us as we are heavy sleepers.

Breakfast was a buffet in the 4-star Gran Luna hotel next door. We thought the breakfast was really good with plenty of choice to cater for most people, ranging from a cooked breakfast to continental-style ham/ cheese/ fresh rolls / cereals / fruit / yoghurt, etc. It can get a bit hectic though when lots of people with families seem to turn up for breakfast.

Incidently, there are quite a number of food places near the hotel - including a large supermarket/hypermarket in the department store 'El Cortes Ingles'. We liked the local 'bocadillios' (similar to filled baguettes) from one of the small tapas places nearby and the falefel from the local kebab place.

Finally, the staff were really friendly and helpful. Service is excellent and all the staff spoke very good English. There is daily room service but you can always put a sign outside if you do not want to be disturbed (e.g. if you are sleeping off the jet lag).

All in all, we felt it was pretty good value for money (as we had booked a cheap deal) and we wouldn't mind staying there again next time.

I stayed at the Luna for 4 nights in April 05. It was my first time in Granada, and my first time in Spain in general. And thanks to my wonderful experience at this hotel, I had the most fantastic holiday. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone, and in future visits I will stay there again. My room (a shared double) was spacey, with a dining area, a television that aired English-speaking news programs (among others), and a kitchen. It felt more like a small apartment that a hotel. The bathroom was also quite large, with a bathtub/shower and a good supply of hot water. The cleaning staff always did a thorough job, and were friendly. And there was always a helpful, English-speaking receptionist. Best of all, the Big Bus tour bus stops right in front of the hotel, so when it came time to go sightseeing, i just had to step onto the sidewalk downstairs. It can get a bit noisy on weekend nights if your room is facing the street, but not unbearably so. The reception area is very tacky-looking, and so is the bar, but those are about the only negative things I can think of. Overall, it was a magnificent place.

I had actually booked this hotel by mistake (don't ask!) and I wasn't too sure about the Luna Arabial as I couldn't find any reviews about it. Must say I was pleasantly surprised.
The Luna Arabial is just off the main road in Granada so quite easy to find by car. We arrived at Granada Airport and travelled to the hotel by bus / taxi which was straight forward. Check in was easy and the twin room we were given was actually a suite, with a kitchen (no utensils though??) Not sure if they are all like this or if we upgraded as this part of the hotel seemed fairly quite. The hotel is advertised as having a pool, but unfortunately it had been closed down for the winter just a week before we got there.

The Luna Arabial is an annex to the Gran Hotel Luna De Granada next door. There is a small cafe in the Luna while breakfast and the main bar and restaurant are all in the hotel next door. The breakfast buffet was quite vast but it did get a bit frantic some days. We didn't try the restaurant, however the bar did nice snacks and ample drinks measures!!

Location wise its a its about a 10 minute amble into the central part of Granada. There are quite a few big shopping complexes nearby, as well a selection of cafes and tapas bars.

Overall nice clean hotel and friendly staff.
