82%El Clandestino

Guido (manager of the hostel when we arrived) was super helpful in suggesting things to do during the day and in the evening. Since it was low season, he even gave us a bigger room than the twin we had reserved (which was arguably quite small). That definitely made our stay even more enjoyable.... more Guido (manager of the hostel when we arrived) was super helpful in suggesting things to do during the day and in the evening.

And the view from the terrace is amazing! Also, the bathroom is spotless clean - rare in a hostel.close

45min walk to Alhambra, 20min to Cathedral, Great View over Granada, Pay with cash much easier can do credit card if have to. Well priced private dbl rms. 3 different managers 1.5 speak english. Hard to find get a good map or GPS. Toast & jam for breakfast. Great showers.

Great common areas, good kitchen, living area, and rooftop terrace. But, can be very very load as sound echoes around the building.

The bathrooms at this hostel were some of the cleanest I've seen. The hostel has a great view of the city and the staff are very nice. My only complaint is the room. We had a double room but it didn't have an outside window.

The hostel has a great view of the city and the staff are very nice. My only complaint is the room. We had a double room but it didn't have an outside window. Our only window went to the noisy hallway so we couldn't leave if open for fresh air. That made it very difficult to get a good sleep. The staff are very nice and extremely helpful.close

Really happy we stayed here. Rooms were excellent and it had everything that you needed. Clean with a great roof top to meet others and see the excellent view over granada. Not in the midst of the action but everything is walkable from this place.

However it is quiet, clean, with very nice rooms and has a spectacular communal area and patio with amazing views of Granada. The communal bathroom might put some off but it is very new and clean, the glass ceiling above the loos is actually the kitchen floor; which is a bit goofy!close

The terrace was nice, and the breakfast was ok. Bathroom was very clean, and shower had adequate hot water. The bad: The hostel is close enough to the sites, but is not in a very clean or nice neighbourhood. The room needed a fresh coat of paint and an overhead mount for the handheld shower. The bottom line: A good budget option. Views from the terrace are nice, but don't expect much charm from the neighbourhood or room.close

Overall, they aren't a very good value...the place is not bad, but for what you're paying there are better hostels out there. Pretty much no breakfast is offered.

It was a great place. very close to everything once you arrive there, which is the most confusing part, so try to get the best directions possible. but once you get there it is worth it. has a beautiful view of granada, is a cute place, and is decently priced.

Downsides: the room was next to the bathroom, so we were able to hear every blowdryer and teethbrushing noise in the mornings. Also, the parking was a nightmare - unless you have a LOT of time, patience and excellent driving skills in narrow streets, you might want to include whatever price they charge for the closest parking garage, it will save you many hours of futile search for a parking spot on nearby streets.close

Most uncomfortable beds during the trip and the overall cleanliness of the place was pretty low, and while we know the sheets were changed on the bed when we got there, we're not sure they were actually washed.

I thought the Bambooroom was very expensive, especially because it is right next to the common room and thus a lot of noice. But I really liked your hostel/hotel and will definately recommend it to Ronda-travellers.
