“Great hotel and restaurant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

We stayed three nights at this wonderfully restored hotel. Rooms are nice (may be best to stay on the second floor in room with balcony overlooking the street). The hotel is very well situated, just of the main square, within short walking distance from anything you'd like to see in Granada. The restaurant was across the small street, in a wonderful little courtyard. Food was really great. We also took a trip organized by the hotel (hotel minivan and guide) to a nearby volcano (Masaya), the Masaya market, and pueblos blancos - very worthwhile.

Room Tip: We enjoyed the room on the second floor on street side that has a little balcony. Same rooms on the...

“grand at La Gran”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

What a gem! Beautiful architecture (colonial, high ceilings,tall wooden doors), great views( cathedral towers and mountains), and location (steps from the lively plaza). We spent five days the staff were most friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the lovely inner courtyard across the street among the flowers and bushes and relaxing in the pool. We will definitely return.

“Charming colonial stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

Open the tall wooden doors and enter palatial room #3. With its grand hand carved wood bed, my 6' 6"" husband seems dwarfed. Our accomodations are elegantly appointed with antiques, lovely art and hand screened floor tiles. The location can't be beat- just off the main square near the cathedral in the heart of the city. Because of this, it is not always perfectly quiet, there may be some barking dogs, crying babies and early morning hawkers who serve as your wake up call. I am a light sleeper but this did not bother me. If you want quieter rooms, opt for one away from the street on the other side of the building. If staying in a restored 16th century building is a dream for you, stay here. If modern amenities
and a sterile atmosphere are your preference, stay elsewhere.
The staff here are exceptional, from the smiling greeting at reception by Jennifer Morales and manager, Jairo Robles who secured transport for us to San Jorge. They both also gave us taxi info advising us of the appropriate fares. On on parting day, an earlier breakfast was arranged by Jairo so that we would not be late for our ferry. Breakfast is served in a lovely tropical courtyard
across the street and is included in the room rate.

“Greatest experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

I've traveled to many countries and stayed in many hotels, but my experiences at La Gran Francia was top notch. My friend got married here and it was one of the most amazing weddings I have ever attended. The staff is very attentive and cater to your needs. The rooms are very rustic and cozy. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Granada!
