It was a nice stay, not far away from interesting site like the calle Elvira or the cathedral. If I'm going back to Granada, I'll try to sleep there again.

Basically a hotel. Had 4 keys to get into my single room, location was perfect, staff were even better, cleaniness was hotel standard. However if your traveling solo zero fun. Didn't talk or see another single person staying there. More of a hotel then hostel. But extrememly helpful staff/...

Nice place to stay near centre city, only inconvenience was the lack of warm water two nights during one week stay. Don't wait for great views from the windows, but nice quiet nights at least on the backside rooms, we had a good rest every night!

This is not a Hostel, it is a Pension. It is a great value place to stay but only if you want a quiet place to sleep, you wont meet anyone here because there is no communal area. The location is ok...it is near the university and just a quick walk to the centre...close to some funky tapas bars...

I was forced to watch this guy shaking in anger like a schoolgirl when I stood my ground as he claimed he never got my email cancelling 2 of my 3 nights ( i had a friend staying elsewhere). I could not be bothered dealing with this shaking fool so just paid for 2 nights and left the next morning. Avoid. At all costs. Thankfully the hostel I went to afterwards was great: Rambutan in the Alcayzbin. Go there instead.close

Very nice place. Very clean, very good location and very nice and helpful staff. We were in Sep, so it was not too hot. If it is in peak summer it might be a bit hot. But the room is really spacious and there was a fan too. I would really recommend it and go back here again if I visit Granada.

Rooms are quite large and clean, bathrooms are confortable. it's very close to the center, you can also walk to the Alhambra or take a bus. the building looks a little bit old, but the quality is very fine compared with the price..

I got a very cheap last minute single "hotel" room with ensuite, so it was good for a break from the dorms. Wouldn't stay longer than one night here cause I'm traveling alone. Management was very helpful and informative suppling a map and taking time to explain Granada to all new arrivals.

great value! For good price you get clean room with basic/decent equipment which is exactly what I want :) Location is good, Cathedral less than 10min walk. It is even possible to find parking space in nearby streets (after 30 min of driving). Only problem is english, which simply is not of much... more great value!
