86%Hostal Moni Albayzin

The staff was very kind. The neighborhood it is in is very charming, but far from downtown Granada,etc. Overall, a great stay.

A very hospitable welcome from a very friendly staff. Simple and very clean accommodation. We only had one night to spend in Granada but would very much like to return for a longer stay at Hostal Moni. Congratulations to all concerned, and also to Hostelworld for an excellent service.

Room 3 (double private) in particular has its own ensuite and roof terrace which is simply delightful. Last but not least the staff are masters of their craft and the lady of the house would walk over broken glass to ensure you wre happy - not only with the hostel but with your stay in Spain. Higly reccomended.close

Had a fantastic stay here. Right in the old town with tapas all around. Would come back in a flash. Woman is very very helpful with her limited english. Had great fun communicating with her. The only place to stay in Granada!

This hostel was definitely the best during our tour through Andalusia. We loved to be there. The owners are very kind and helpful (even though they don´t speak English). There is a wonderful view from the terrace and we enjoyed the great Spanish atmosphere.

This place was the best value of anywhere I stayed in Spain! it is in an amazing location in the Albayzin area of old Granada. Very helpful friendly greeting from owner. Charming decor & very clean rooms & common areas. Most important, the rooftop terrace has an amazing view of Granada!

The location couldn´t be better. Till the center is a 8 min walk throught the amazing Albazin Barrio and there is a bus just next to the hostel that can take you to Alhambra.The couple that owns the place are just amazing and will help you out in any way they can.close

A fantastic place to stay in Granada; located in the atmospheric Albacin, the hotel has really friendly owners & a wonderful roof terrace. Can be a little tricky to find - aim for the plaza / church of San Bartolome and then you are nearby. Recommend very much :-)

We enjoyed the location - terrace looking over the town is a fantastic place to relax after a day of sightseeing. Tapas places & supermarket 1 min away. Very easy to get to town even late at night. #7 bus from town (5mins 1euro) or a taxi for less than 5E. Day time it is an easy 15 minute walk thru the narrow winding streets - which are suprisingly easy to navigate.close

The owners are really nice but you don´t really see them around. You´re very close to the main square but still enjoy the beauty of the Albayzin. The room wasn´t very big but our own patio made it great! Would stay here again.

The place was very clean, and had a great roof deck with lots of light and a great view. It was a bit hard for our taxi driver to find, and he finally asked us to walk the last block or so, which was fine with us. The owners were great, and very helpfull. I would definately stay there again!
