Nice place and cheap. Very good location-close by the center, though may be a bit dreadful 'couse of its placement on a dark side street. Very quiet hostel. For those who went sightseeing

Really good location. Short walk to centre of town, tourist area, Alhambra bus stop, etc. Would recommend for overnight stay, but not longer. Nowhere to meet other travellers.

Broken Toilet Seat. Room a little small for three people but generally very good value.

The hostal is without lift and breakfast service, going up to the 4th floor withluggage in an ancient building is quite difficult

You should seriously try to think of arraging a kitchen or at least a common room for you guests. Like a lounge or so. And for me, internet would have helped a lot. A wi-fi connection would be a big plus! To me hostal arroyo is not a hostal. It is a cheep and quite bad hotel.

The place was decent, but the other guests were too noisy and stupid to be true, slamming doors at any time making a mess in the toilet and screaming all the time, avoid if you want a quiet or fun place.

If all you want is a bed for the night then I couldnt fault this place. The staff were very friendly & helpful if asked, the rooms & bathrooms were spotless and it seemed very secure. However, at a 20-30min walk it is slightly outside the hub of Granada, and I saw no common areas. So... more If all you want is a bed for the night then I couldnt fault this place.

So if you are after a sociable/communal/party hostel then would suggest elsewhere, but for a cheap & spotless room with good staff advice - big tick!close

Clean, quiet, and cheap, but uninviting exterior and drab interior. Nicer places to stay, but good for the budget traveller. Amazingly quiet for the central city location.

Stopped over night and basically checked in then went out only to return late to get some sleep. It was in a decent location for the sights, a little tricky to find maybe. Was very clean though and the staff were friendly enough

Staff was very available. Only suggestion is that the hostel is walking distance from the train station and that walking directions should be placed on hostel world. We enjoyed our stay.

It's such a relief that after days of communal sleeping you get a room for yourself! OK it's not en suite but its less than 25 euros so why not. Not my normal definition of a hostel. Location is excellent, bus stop for the airport is 2 minutes walk away. I overslept but still managed to catch my...

We liked it very much. I choose a four bed room but we were five people(two little children). Despite warning me that I should have asked if I could take the two children as one person, the staff was very flexible and there was no problem.

More like a hotel than a hostel, but all the same it´s a nice relaxing place when you want a night to yourself. It´s close to town and plenty of tapas bars. No internet, but good price for what you do get.

a great hostel when you need a simple and quite accommodation. We went there to explore Granada, and did not have any intention to stay too long at the accommodation. It was exactly what we were looking for. The owner are incredibly simpaticos.

The people working here were really nice. We got in really late, and they didn't care. They don't give you an outside key so you have to buzz in, but they are available 24/7. But they let you leave the room key at the desk so you can't possibly lose it. The location was great, and the rooms were... more The people working here were really nice.
