Excellent location on the main street of Granada, almost opposite the cathedral. Excellent value for money. No breakfast, which is probably Spanish tradition.

This is a great hostal(budget hotel) for this price. We stayed in a private double ensuite room. Location was great, room was comfortable. I highly recommend it. If I visit Granada again, I will definitely stay again. I paid 30EUR for 1 night but it worth the double.

Not a hostel but a very decent hotel. Towels, soap and shampoo where included. No kitchen but a nice living room.

Good communication with bus station / about 15 minutes walk from Alhambra. Nice staff, rooms nice and clean. After leaving the room you can't leave the luggage in the reception for the rest of the day - only in the lockers (cost 2 EUR / locker). Recommended. I would definitely stay there again.

It is more like very cheap hotel than the hostel. No kitchen or even place to make your own coffee. Besides very good location and bus connections to every part of the town.

Cheap and great location,excelent value for money for two people for one night with private bathroom. The rooms are a bit hot and the aircon unit in my room leaked water all over the floor at night.

A hotel. Not an hostel. Very cheap through Hostelworld if you compare the quality of the room (room was 35 euros instead of 55 for two), but this is a place to sleep in, not more. A good place for people who are looking for a good night sleep after a long day and not looking for a fun night.... more A hotel. Not an hostel.

A good place for people who are looking for a good night sleep after a long day and not looking for a fun night. Room and bathroom were clean, with air conditioning, thouth the sink stank badly and the whole plumbery was loud. Would recommend it though for older or quieter travelers.close

It close enough to the bus stop. U have to pay for lockers to leave a bag on the day you leave. Crappy staff, except one nice guy! Net is not too expensive. Ok room, noting special. The hang out area is too cold and there was never anyone around, except to use the net.

It is a hotel not a hostel. It was nice to have my own room but the staff was rude and unaccommodating and it was an altogether frustrating experience. I had friends stay at The Funky Backpackers and they loved it there. A lot cheaper too.

The 2 Bed ensuite at top floor was an ideal place to spend in Granada. The terrace had overview of Albycin locality. Rooms are clean, hostal is well connected, good security, no problems of lock out. Very good hostal for price. Would come back here again for the next Granada trip.

This hostel has more of a hotel feel to it. We stayed in our own room with a bathroom and it was very very affordable. The only concern was that you have to turn in your key each time you leave. When you return you do not need to show any ID to get your key.

There were many groups of loud young kids that kept us up late at night at woke us up very very early. Other then the noise and the funky smell that came from the bathroom, it was an alright place to stay.
