Service was excellent, personnel really go the extra mile. Room and bathroom cleanning could be improved, blackouts could be an improvement for good morning sleep. Great breakfast! and good food at restaurant

A pleasant surprise, spacious interior, lovely tiles, large gracious rooms, very helpful staff. A couple of minor issues, the room safe is not fixed to anything so can be lifted out and removed with a minimum of difficulty, ie not safe at all, and the shower wasn't the greatest. Everything else A1

We found this bit of history was an accidental find. From the outside you would never imagine what goodies are found on the inside. The rooms are huge and decorated very nicely including custom made and painted bathroom sinks, 12 foot high ceilings, even a small walled in patio and a huge closet. The king size bed was very comfortable... More

The price isn't bad for what it is really, lovely charming building with a lot of history... But the staff is hightly arrogant, taking down at us (maybe because we came in with a backpack..?) The breakfast is a joke : 1 slice of completely overcooked bacon, one piece of bread, and a few beans... Disgusting ! I wouldn't recommend... More

We stayed at La Gran Francia for several days and its a very nice hotel. Breakfasts were great and made to order daily .. New Year's Eve dinner was a bust though. Food was so so and service was worse. Missing food, undercooked, long time between courses etc. hotel service itself was very nice..

After looking online at hotels, I decided on Gran Francia, mostly due to its historical connection to the City of Granada. I was more than satisfied. The hotel is beautifully and faithfully restored; the service is excellent; the adjacent patio bar/restaurant is delightful. A traveler will be happy in choosing Gran Francia over its rival on the main Granada square,... More

adequate hotel; helpful staff; moderately quiet etc this is a 3rd world country for all the recent historical reasons we know. Costa Rica, not itself a first world country, has per cap income 4x Nicaragua. not worth visiting except for a great church and most interesting resturant we visited
