ABOUT US Our family of 7 (5 children & us), from Hungary, Central-Europe, fell in love with the city during a family campervan road trip from the USA to Costa Rica a few years ago. Back then we purchased and refurbished a house – Casa de Arcos – which is now one of the best performing houses to rent in the city on Airbnb. We lived in Casa De Arcos for the first six month following our move to Granada, but when we spotted the property of Hotel Secret Garden – which had been closed for a few years – it just spoke to our hearts. We knew immediately that this is the perfect set up for a hotel, so with a littlebit of renovation we made it a paradise tucked away from the city noise: with no neighbours, and surrounded by exotic leafy plants.

## About Us

We are a family of seven (five children and two adults) from Hungary, Central Europe. We fell in love with Granada during a family campervan road trip from the USA to Costa Rica several years ago. 

After purchasing and renovating Casa de Arcos, one of the city’s top Airbnb rentals, we lived there for six months following our move to Granada. When we discovered the property now known as Hotel Secret Garden, which had been closed for several years, it immediately captured our hearts.

With some renovation, we transformed it into a peaceful haven away from city noise, surrounded by exotic plants and without neighboring buildings, creating a unique and serene hotel experience.

The staff was very kind and helpful when we were at the hotel and once you are in the gate the reason why it is named secret garden shines through. The interior grounds are stunning and an amazing pool. The location is within walking distance of everything we wanted to do in the city, though you need a little awareness walking around after dark. Overall we would definitely stay there again and recommend to others.

Very friendly and helpful people, excellent place, quiet and clean. Very nice plants.

Gente muy amable y atenta, excelente lugar tranquilo y limpio. Plantas muy lindas

We'll be back. Steven's service was spectacular.

Volveremos, espectacular la atención de Steven

Great location and great service. They helped us with recommendations and with accommodating early breakfast as well in our departure day.

An amazing boutique hotel! With AC and a hot shower it was a dream to end our trip with! Thank you for everything!

very good place, comfortable and family style

muy buen lugar, cómodo y estilo familiar

Really nice boutique hotel close to downtown. Good value for the cost. Excellent staff. Good pool and breakfast. High recommended.

Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the cleanliness and unique style of Hotel Secret Garden.  We look forward to welcoming you again soon!

Place looked exactly like the photos. Beautiful place to stay at right in Granada.

The stay was unique and beautiful. We felt very comfortable in the small but nice room. The facility is very well maintained and fantastically beautiful. The breakfast was very good. The recommendations for things to do were left in the room and were very detailed. We would have loved to have stayed longer!

Der Aufenthalt war einmalig und wunderschön. Wir haben uns in dem kleinen, aber feinen Zimmer, sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und traumhaft schön. Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Die Empfehlungen für Aktivitäten lagen im Zimmer aus und waren sehr detailliert. Gerne wären wir noch länger geblieben!

Good AC, helped with laundry service and booking a ATV, had a good breakfast and drinks on location, and the pool was nice as well. I thought there was a English speaking host by the ad but there wasn’t, but we worked through it. Overall happy with the stay.

Marton’s place is a little slice of heaven. Felt right at home while being in a foreign country.

We had a great stay! Breakfast was super delicious, all the staff very nice and helpful and the room was very clean. The location was great, we felt very safe and it wasn't away from the center

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt! Frühstück war super lecker, alle Mitarbeiter sehr nett und hilfsbereit und das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Die Lage war super, haben uns sehr sicher gefühlt und es war nicht weg vom Zentrum

Awesome place! Would stay here again in a heartbeat 🥳

Walking up to the secret garden I was a little in doubt of my reservation. Once inside it was a true oasis, living up to the name. The gardens are beautiful with many places to sit in sun or in shade. The outdoor garden shower to rinse off is a great addition. The place was full (8 rooms) but never felt crowed as there are many places to sit, undercover area with couches and fans, tables and chairs with books and games. The roof top patio with hammocks and covered seating is very relaxing. The rooms were lovely, beds are extremely comfortable the shower is spacious and the A/C chills the room in minutes. Monica and her staff is very pleasant and accommodating. 3 breakfast choices are offered with fresh fruit plate with each. Check out was at 11 but we were able to leave bags as we left at 9 for a boat tour (suggest taking, monkey island was my fav). We came back at 1 to retrieve the bags are were able to rinse in the garden shower and take a last dip in the pool. 100% recommend ❤️

This was one of my favorite places to stay.  Beautiful place, beautiful room and gardens, and very friendly host and staff.  I highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay here, would recommend! The breakfast was delicious and included in the price. The location is nearby the city centre. Facilities were great!

the garden and the pool are realy nice. very relaxe vibe there for the little swims. Close from the cathedrale and nice resto around under 15min walk. Quiet and secure, staff realy friendly. I recommand!

Excellent service and the place is very cute and quiet

Excelente atención y el lugar es muy lindo y tranquilo

The location was ideal. Walking distance to the center of town but far enough from the noise. The room was comfortable and the service was great! I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice place, very quiet, very comfortable. Great choices for breakfast. Really enjoy our stay.

Very close to downtown and yet it feels like being in an oasis thanks to the plants and relaxed atmospheres like the terrace a beautiful view. Friendly staff. Would repeat

Muy cerca del centro de la ciudad y sin embargo te da la sensación de estar en un oasis gracias a las plantas y los ambientes relajados como la terraza un una bellísima vista. Personal amable. Repetiría
