84%Rambutan Guesthouse

You know what. Just an amazing place. The few flaws turn out to be quirky in retrospect and just add to it's character. If you're boring and fussy who likes to get to their bed early don't bother going there. If you're up for a laugh, like meeting awesome people and want to stay in a hostel not a...

Very friendly staff (once I found somebody to check in with), laid back atmosphere and a spectacular view make this place the excellent choice for accomodations when visiting Granada.

Great place with a really laid back vibe. Best location of any hostel I have stayed in - makes the walk up the hill an easy one.

Had a great time here. It's a bit of a hike to get there, but once you arrive, you don't really want to leave. Kind of an oasis of sorts.

This was by far the best place I've stayed at, on my many travels. The location was excellent, and the staff were even better. We were set to stay for 4 nights, but kept on extending our stay because we just could not leave. Gresat people, great food, great place! I highly recommend for everyone...

It is a bit hard to find though. Walk up Sacromonte 250m to the first white walled stairs on the left that switch back a couple times. Round the cactus at the top and you'll find 26, Rambutan is 28 next door.close

It's a good Hostel, but you have to climb a mountain (almost it) and you probably will get very tired when arrived there. Has a incredible view to Alhambra and it's very good to relax and feel confortable looking that view. Advice: If you stay at the 5 person's room you will no sleep well,... more It's a good Hostel, but you have to climb a mountain (almost it) and you probably will get very tired when arrived there.

If the view wasn´t enough for me to fall head over heels in love with Granada, the atmosphere was. Everything about the Rambutan is home away from home. The meals were delicious, the facilities totally clean, and the map drawing abilities of the staff are wonderful. I can´t wait to go back.
