Demasiado caro. El mobiliario es viejísimo y hace la estancia bastante desagradable. Lo único bueno la ubicación.

The (friendly) staff solved this by putting us in a double with shared bath for the first 2 days and for the rest of our stay we got a whole apartment for ourselves. It was a little uncomfortable to have to change rooms half way through our stay, but otherwise this a very reasonable solution. Both the room and the apartment were clean and good value for money. The furniture in the apartment was quite worn out though.close

Es un apartamento con dos habitaciones dobles de estilo sencillo,limpio y con acceso a una terraza encantadora al estar en la quinta planta,fin del edificio. Podria ser muy caluroso en verano, aunque contaba con ventiladores. Muy centrico y seguro.Volveria!

The hostel had a very good location. It was right on the path to the alhambra. The staff was very helpful. They offered a lot to their customers, even though we didn't take advantage of those services. However, the bathroom was extremely leaky, and the door to the luggage room was a bit shoddy.

The door on one is broken and doesn't close so the room floods with water when you shower - a real hazard when you have an electric heater plugged in!! I had to mop while my boyfriend showered! not what i paid for and very annoying. The other shower has a leak somewhere at the base. It too seeps water, though not as much as the Green private room's shower, which is simply broken and needs to be repaired before renting again.close

Most important, a bugger to find if the office isn´t manned, which it probably won´t be. Need to continue straight into the alley off gomerez up steps over dog crap until you get to funky backpackers. this is the real office (24 hr). once you´re sorted, enjoy this great place.

Also quite dirty by standards of other hostels. I never got a top sheet for my bed, the bottom sheet had human fluid stains on it, there was a dirty rag just lying in one of the showers, old towels from previous guests were still lying in the bathroom, the shower heads were broken, there was no hot water at first, the toilets were plugged, and the floor had hair all over it. I was a bit disturbing to say the least. Oh, and the bar tender was at least 45 minutes late for happy hour every day.close

It is part of the Funky hostel and funky is a very good characterization. The younger gusts were having a great time. The locationis perfect. It is for a much younger crowd. I would not recommed this to a mature person (>55). Priscilla was very helpful and kind.

If you have read anything about their hostel, it is a great place to stay, and it definitely carried over to Apartments Antinous. We had 2 double rooms, which took up an entire floor of the building. We had a kitchen and table and everything that we needed. The beds were the most comfortable beds ever, more so than most hotels that I have stayed in. We also had 2 full bathrooms. The place was clean and safe. The staff at Funky is extremely helpful, and they are young and fun. Breakfast was only toast and coffee/tea, but it was fine. The view from the tops of both buildings is phenomenal. We met tons of other fun pepole and I feel that it was a very safe place to stay. Also, the location couldn´t be better. It is very close to the bus, the Alhambra, and a Moroccan market. By far, this was the best hostel that I have ever stayed in and I fully recommend it to everyone.close

It is simply used as extra accommodation for Funky hostel down the street, and the "Gay" tag a marketing gimmick. There were still extensive building works underway (over 6 months after opening??) and the single functioning shower and only hot water two floors up from the dormitory. There were workmen in the place throughout the day, with the street door simply left open. (The computer in the downstairs hallway had no chair to sit at and the wireless signal so weak that laptops couldn´t connect.) Even at 9am no bread for breakfast in Funky Hostel, so don´t rely on it for breakfast. After a year travelling and staying in dozens of hostels across the world I would place this as the second worst (after one in Singapore). Location is good and only saving grace.close
