Granada works best as a slow trip. This is a city built into a hillside, with the Alhambra presiding over everything below, and the Albaicín's narrow streets unraveling across the opposite slope in a tangle that GPS barely helps with. Most visitors come for one reason and stay for the layers underneath it: the Moorish architecture, the free tapas culture that still holds on in the old-town bars, the flamenco in Sacromonte's cave venues. The Albaicín and the streets around the cathedral are where people base themselves, trading car access for the ability to walk to everything that matters, including the Alhambra ticket gates before the crowds arrive.
We don't have enough rate data yet to call out a reliable median for Granada, so treat any price you see elsewhere with caution and compare a few sources before booking. What we can say with confidence: this is a city where the lodging stock skews toward carmen houses and small boutique conversions rather than big chain hotels, so character varies more than price tier would suggest. Book your room and your Alhambra tickets together, months out if you're coming in spring or fall — the palace caps daily visitors, and a great hotel doesn't help you if you can't get in the gate.
Pick your neighborhood first, then your room — in Granada, the view out the window is half the stay.
