83%The Flophouse

a great little hostel. James and Ana are very welcoming hosts. the walk up to it is worth it alone, just be prepared to climb a lot of stairs to get there.

for 11euro a night this hostel was absolutely awesome! it's basically in el mirado de san nicholas which is a fantastic location as long as you don't mind walking or paying the 1.10 euro to take the bus up the hill. the place is small so you can't really have all that many ppl here at one time.... more for 11euro a night this hostel was absolutely awesome! it's basically in el mirado de san nicholas which is a fantastic location as long as you don't mind walking or paying the 1.10 euro to take the bus up the hill. the place is small so you can't really have all that many ppl here at one time. james is a trip and will help you with whatever you need. clean and decently stocked kitchen. the only thing is, don't bother booking if you can't take the smell of potclose

This is the worst hostel I've been, it's gloomy and the owner was rude and unprofessional. The only good thing about this place is its location.

This place was an adventure to say the least!, finding it was interesting (as is anything in the albycine). James is a really laid back and interesting guy, he took care of us, and we even got a private room. Granada was our favorite place in Europe, and James was a big part of that.

When we first arrived there we were shocked. But then the owner took us to that another house, which was very nice. But still we would never go back there again. We didn't feel save there.

james peut paraitre un peu bizarre au début mais en fait il est très sympathique... c'est juste qu'il est complètement défoncé ! ! ! Sinon l'hostel est située dans le plus beau et le plus typique des quartier de Grenade. Alors si vous avez l'âme un peu hippie, n'hésitez pas !

James runs a mean flophouse. I don't actually know what Roberto does, but he does it with style. If your not phased by the super alternative then this just may be the greatest crash-pad accompdation in all of Europe. Highly recommended.

Beautifully located in the oldest part of Granada close to mirador de san nicolas where you have a great view of alhambra. Meet wonderful people there and had lots of fun- many thanx to Roberto who was a great guide and took us for tapas and to the caves.

A unique place with a very relaxed atmosphere. In this guesthouse you have to be part of the family and have respect, otherwise it won't work for you. We loved the location in the old part of the city, close to Alhambra. And yes, we can confirm that the toilet is indeed very clean ;) Thanks James!

The hostel is located in the old part of town and at night you are close to a Mirador where you have an amazing view of La Alhambra. If you take the bus just call James once you arrive in the Plaza so he can come find you because the streets are very confusing.close

As far as the hostile it's really inconvenient to have one small restroom for all people staying at the hostile and it locks out the people in the terrace.close
