Pension San Joaquin

In the heart of Granada's historic center, steps from the Basilica de San Juan de Dios and a short stroll to Elvira Street and the Cathedral. The Alhambra is about a 15-minute walk away. Tapas, bars and historic sights are all within easy walking distance.

This family-run pension occupies two connected 18th-century houses with original colonnaded patios, Andalusian tiles and a noble coat of arms over the entrance. The decor is humble and unpretentious, with 39 guestrooms that offer private bathrooms (bathtub or shower), hairdryers, desks, TV, A/C and heating. Housekeeping is available on request.

Take in city views from the rooftop terrace or relax in the shaded patios and garden. Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout. There's a communal living room, ski storage and ski-pass assistance for winter visitors, plus tour/ticket help for day trips. Parking and accessible public areas are on site.

Luggage storage, a safe-deposit box at the front desk and an elevator keep things simple. Reception is staffed (note limited hours: 11:00–14:00 and 19:00–21:00). Staff speak English, Spanish and French, and concierge/car-rental help is available; public transport is within about 200 m.
