Hotel Sercotel Gran Fama

Able to check in upon arrival at midday. Underground parking very secure and reasonably priced. Hotel is fairly modern and rooms were good sized and clean. Location is close to a shopping mall and about 30 minute stroll to tourist attractions but taxi ride also only about €5 each way.

This hotel is fine. However it seems to be based around business customers who normally aren't there at the weekend, so they close the bat on friday and reopen on monday. This is absurd. There were quite a few people staying so they should provide the service of having a bar on site. Breakfast was quite expensive, 15 euros I think so we had breakfast in the bar across the road. There was plenty of free street parking available next to the hotel so no need to pay 11 euros for their car park.

Nice clean comfy hotel with free safe street parking. Only issue is its a half hour walk to the waterfront but theres not much to see there anyway. As for hotels this one's great value

Hotel was nice, but a bit far out of the centre. Rooms were nice and clean and breakfast was good, but typically the warm food was a bit cool. Parking is underground and costs 11 euros. There is enough space to park without difficulty. There is some free street parking outside but it always seemed to be full, so we just used the car park. Next door is a shopping centre with a handy food court. There are a few restaurants nearby but I would say you are better off eating somewhere in the town centre. We walked everywhere and it took about 30 mins to get to the town centre and the Alcazar. Almeria itself is OK. It's been used as a movie location, both the town and the Alcazar, as has the Tabernas desert which is nearby inland. We found the streets of Almeria to be a bit dirty.

This hotel is geared towards the business traveller, as a tourist it is too far at the edge of town from the attractions, ie the Alcazaba and cathedral and a good bus ride to the beach Although the staff are nice, there was only one member of staff on in the evenings, the bar and restaurant closed on Friday, by which time we decided to leave early. Not recommended unless on business

No parking possibility in front of hotel so you can't jump in, check in your bags and then find parking. Need to find a parking spot along the street on the back of the hotel first, then walk to the hotel. Parking is however free. So this hotel worked fine for me, when I was passing by Almeria, so I got what I paid for and can't really complain.

Great stopover for airport and close to new shopping centre. Easy drive to airport.

Hotel was nice and clean. Next to the mall. Not super close to the beach... good 45 minute walk or you can take a bus. The old center of Almeria can be reached by bus and is very historic. Breakfast was great and had lots of choices. If you need to travel to Almeria for work or something this hotel is good.
