It was a little difficult to find and first impressions were a little concerning, but it is a gr8 place. The rooftop common room was really cool but not very inviting for a non-smoker of a night time! it was like walking into a toxic cloud.. no offence to smokers!

Worst hostel I have stayed in, and that is after having traveled for 5 months. They did not have a room for us and were so unorganised they gave us keys to other peoples rooms before finally finding us a spot. Unknowledgable and unhelpful staff made this a hostel I would never recommend.

Really enjoyed my time here. The building has lots of character and is well maintained. The beds were comfy. My one complaint would be the lack of internet availability - sorry, one laptop where everyone is standing doesn't cut it.

I absolutely loved this hostel! The staff was very friendly and helpful. They helped us book activities to do while in Granada which were really fun. If you have a group, the 8 person room is cool. 7 regular beds plus a sweet loft that is 7 euros cheaper per night!

I enjoyed my stay, but was a little disappointed with their bathroom. It was really tiny and could have been cleaner. Breakfast was ok. The bar on their roof...only has sangria. All in all the location was convenient and central, and the staff did help.

Perfect for my friends and I to stay here. Plenty of things to do and very helpful staff. Close to everything we wanted to see and do. Had lots of fun. Granada needs more than a weekend because there is so much to do here!

This hostel is great except when the staff are outside at night chatting loudly. That makes it hard to sleep. But other than that, this place is perfect.

Yes, the doors are squeeky and it's loud, but the staff and the upstairs outdoor bar area make up for it. They even cook for you and it's good! The beds don't have lights, but it all works out. They do however have handtowels in the bathrooms so you have something to wipe your hands on. Location is easy to get to from the train station even if you are tired. Location is right by everything.close

Very nice Hostel, not far from Alhambra. Only thing to complain about was our room, which hab a window, directly to the staricase and reception room. So privacy was a little reduced. But on the whole really good hostel.

A particularly excellent hostel, ran as a hostel first and business second which made you feel right at home. Hard to find, but well worth it for the undoubted warm welcome and sorrowful departure you will find there.

The window opened into the building so it was extremely hot as there was no fan! The showers were stupid, could hardly close the door! and the breakfast was crap!! All in all, did not enjoy it compared to some of the other great places I stayed in Spain!! Oh and 1 computer that you could never get on!!close

Staff on reception were excellent and the location is great. In room safes were handy. Brilliant views from the rooftop terrace and a good vibe. There is a basic kitchen but hardly any utensils so cooking options are limited. It doesn´t open until 10am.

The cleanliness was very poor. The kitchen was always dirty and the cups and so on to have breakfast weren´t either very good. The reason for this problem is of course dirty guests, but also the lack of responsability and care from hostal staff. It is a pitty because appart from this hostal is...
