About
Candil Suite Realejo
Candil Suite Realejo sits on Cuesta Del Realejo in Granada's historic Realejo quarter, 200 metres from Campo de Principe. The property is built around a series of cave-style rooms, some with direct access to the seasonal outdoor pool and terrace. Guests arrive to a welcome drink, and the staff can help arrange car hire, tours, and airport shuttle transfers.
The hotel keeps things personal: a guest kitchen is available, breakfasts include freshly squeezed orange juice and local ham, and the team is known for giving clear directions to the Alhambra, the old town, and the flamenco theatres. With a 9.2 rating from nearly 2,000 reviews, it's a well-liked base for exploring Granada on foot.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Staff go out of their way — Guests repeatedly highlight the caring, accommodating team who give clear directions to the Alhambra and other sights, and even manage nearby parking.
- Unbeatable location in the old quarter — Set on Cuesta Del Realejo, the hotel is 200 metres from Campo de Principe and within walking distance of the Alhambra, the old town, and the city centre.
- Distinctive cave rooms with charm — Guests love the cave-style rooms that open onto the pool and terrace, with bathtubs, balconies, and garden views adding to the character.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is narrow — The front desk is staffed from 14:00 to 22:00, so arrivals outside those hours will need to plan ahead.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, you'll need to look elsewhere — the hotel does not accept pets.
- Room ratings lag the overall score — While rooms score a solid 9.4, a couple of reviews mention noise or a 'funeral chapel' nearby, so light sleepers may want earplugs.
- Breakfast is well regarded but not universal — Several guests rave about the breakfast, but one review simply notes a great breakfast with orange juice, suggesting it may not be extraordinary for everyone.
