There are small lockers in the rooms for import. stuff like passport, camera...but won't fit a laptop. But the front desk will watch it for you.

I really enjoyed my stay at Oasis. It's a beautiful facility and great location. It was certainly a social atmosphere, but not out of control partying.

I have been living in Spain for 2 months now and have stayed in many hostels. This by far is the best one. No other can compare. The staff is awesome and I could not ask for more. Love Granada and Oasis.

The staff weren´t very friendly and at check in they made me feel as though I was a burden to them. Maybe just caught them on a bad day. Huge showers were very nice though. And it is a great place to meet fellow travelers and chill or get ready for a big night out. Do the free walking tour. It is great.close

Wasn't quite as nice or comfortable as the Oasis in Sevilla but still a good hostel. Be warned when going to the alhambra - it IS longer then 5minutes away! but definatly worth the visit.

Très proche de l'Alhambra--situé parmi les petits salons de thé, les trattoirs faits de pavés. Propre, beaucoup d'ambiance, le personnel est gentil. Le bar est une +++

It's impossible to have a bad time in Granada if you stay anywhere near the Albycin, which Oasis is right in the middle of. This hostel and this town were both amazing. Go on the free walking tour!!!! Definitely worth it!

Stylish and cool hostel, liked the bar and kitchen. Good activities, can highly recommend the free Albaicin tour. Only negative thing was that the bags were just left in the hallway and there sometimes was a weird smell from the drain in the lobby.

staff gave us wrong advice that you would expect to be basic knowledge for a hostel. eg. bus starting times. terrible smell in common room/ computer area, really off putting.. on a whole it was pretty good!!

Probably the best hostel I have stayed at. Fantastic location, walking distance to all the main sites in Granada. Very close to good tapas bars as well. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The planned activities (walking tours, tapas tours and cooked food) add to its appeal. Why stay anywhere...

The six and four bed rooms share a single bathroom. 10, I think, is too many for one bathroom. If you have a choice, pick the 6 bed room. The 4 is really stuffy with no window, just to the common area, which can be noisy. Other than that, this place is pretty good.

Friendly staff, excellent location... staff helped to book a hostel of the same chain in Sevilla. Internet is included and breakfast is there for you to prepare and take. Maybe this last thing was a bit unorganised: you have to be fast or you don't get bread! Overall highly recommended!
