Really helpful staff. we had to pay cash (credit card machine wasn't working) but we wouldn't have cash until monday and let us pay later. location is good although 10 minute walk to albycin neighborhod but the tapa bars in this neighborhood were better! quieter hostel and super clean.

Hard to find and staff do not seem to know much English. Mostly older people staying there so had to go elsewhere for fun. No lockers in rooms.

The hostel all-in-all is nothing special, but I had a very good time there, thanks to the people I met in the hostel. And the parties... :)))

This was a nice friendly hostel in a really good location, very helpful staff and some good facilities (e.g. great bathroom). It really really is difficult to find though and the English directions weren't perfect.

an amazing combination of price/quality. A very fare 3 stars hotel in the very heart of Granada, just next to Cathedral. When I saw the room, I doubted that it costed the amount I was supposed to pay, I would expect it to be way more expensive.

There was only one bathroom for a room of 10 people.. their was one other toilet in the kitchen which was closed at night and the other toilets were locked off for other visitors. This was just a bit annoying as the shower and toilet were in the same room. Kinda annoying.

Both the outdoor terrrace and the kitchen area close at 11pm. We could only stay one night and had an early train to catch so missed out on the breakfast as it didn´t start till 8:30, but I´m sure it would have been nice...

WARNING! The street is in a little alley that does not look like a street you would want to go down. The sign is really small. So get a good map and note that it is beside a square, by Aqua Street.

Nothing much to complain about really but I was only there for one night. No air conditioning but it was a cool night so it was not a problem. Location is fairly good and the staff are friendly. Security lockers are small though, and very limited in number.

Place is nice, but with no fans or aircon you need to leave windows open. This can be hard when there is a bit of partying going on in another room or in the street! The staff are extremely nice and helpful though and the place is in a fantastic spot.

Granada is a fabulous city! This hostel is small and relaxed, and walking distance to everything. I have the 4 bed female dorm with en suite, which was very spacious, cool, and clean! Make sure to print the directions they email as the streets in Granada are small and winding.

great hostel and very helyful and friendly staff. Location was amazing, however there is contruction work going on outside which makes it really noisy early in the monring. Only suggestion would be to gets some fans in the rooms or some air conditioning as is was very hot.
