Makuto Backpackers Hostel Reviews

A great hostel! The only complaint would be the locker placement. They were small, all grouped together on the bottom floor and basically to far for a good sense of security. Other than that, the hostel was great. Awesome mellow vibe, great staff, good booze. The three tiered beds were kind of a surprise, but turned out to be alright. Really informative personal and awesome hammocks!!

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Best. Hostel. Ever. I have been travelling around Spain for a few weeks and this was BY FAR the best hostel I stayed at. The staff was absolutely incredible, the location was superb - it was just an amazing experience. I only stayed two days but I wish I'd stayed longer. I was travelling alone, but the way the hostel is set up, it's so easy to meet people. By the end of my stay, I felt like family. There were home cooked meals every night, free walking tours, and free wifi. Recommended. 100%.

Simply put- most amazing hostel I have ever stayed at! Like other reviewers have mentioned: -Staff really make this a special place and you immediately feel like part of Makuto family -you may not see much of Granada because you'll never want to leave hostel -treehouse and hammocks are the bees knees of vacationing I hope to visit to Granada again someday so I can stay here again. Thanks Makuto, you were the best way I could have ended my 3 month travels through Spain! LOVE!!!

Take the minibus if you have any bags that you are not prepared to carry uphill! The slope is stepped and steep otherwise!!

This is hands-down the best hostel I've been to - so good I extended my trip three times. The staff were amazing and all felt like family by the end of my stay. And the tree house... Let me not go into the amazingness of the tree house... I would definitely recommend Makuto as the place to stay in Granada. I have a bit of a hostel crush, can you tell?

We loved our stay at this place! It made the unfortunate weather forgetable, because the staff was very nice and the Double Room in the Tower was one of the nicest one we ever had. Thanks very much to you all!

A hostel with staff for a five-star hotel!... A place to interact with people from different nationalities!... Close to San Nicolas and downtown area Only two suggestion: to add more outlets in rooms and change the mean door lock!...

coolest hostel ever!

Embraced by Makuto staff. Fantastic people in a fantastic place.

I only booked for 2 nights and ended up staying 9. Best hostel out there with a true experience of granada culture. Literally every single person on the staff are some of the coolest people out there! Location is private but perfect and easy to get to everything. There is a cheap dinner every night and daily walking tours that rock. Treehouse+hammocks=pure awesomeness. If you're cool, you will feel like family! It was so hard to leave! Makuto will always have my heart. Miss you everybody! Chels

Makuto was an amazing place to stay. A chilled out haven in the beautiful Albayzin neighbourhood. It helped my love grow very rapidly for Granada. The staff are all lovely and friendly and create a great vibe around the hostel, where everyone can feel welcome. There is a great chill out room and a TREEHOUSE and a gorgeous free walking tour! All the people are friends and things like the cheap nightly dinners and the bar are a fantastic way to meet new people and make friends. I will miss it!

You're in danger to stay in the hostel insteed of go out and see Granada!.Warm-hearted staff welcomes you right at the door, you may stay all day in the lovely green-shaded patio, in one of the hammocks or in the cozy tree house.The showers and WC somewhat rustic, but matching with the oriental atmosphere :) Makuto is hidden in one of the countless small lanes of Albaycín in a quiet surrounding, but still close to the city, and the miradores. Guided tours, tasty meals, friends.Great place

Great location, great atmosphere. An amazing hostel

Great location hard to find at first and hard to get to while walking. The only thing I would suggest is more bathrooms/showers.

Fantastic staff... always willing to help out, give you advice on Granada, and even remember the guests' names. Makuto is very homey and comfortable. Especially loved the hammocks. The location is good but be prepared to give your legs a workout. I stayed in the 6 bed female dorm and my only complaint is that there is no head room between bunks, so it's impossible to sit up and feels quite claustrophobic.

Hostel was a bit difficult to find in the old part of Granada that's like a maze. But very central for most of the sights. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The walk from the (seperated) room to the bathroom was a bit unfortunate. Also 'hostelworld' mentioned that breakfast was included however when i arrived they said i had a discounted rate and that this excluded breakfast.

Good Hostel in a nice neighbourhood with awesome atmosphere!

I and my wife were well treated by knowledgeable and very helpful staff, especially the young Italian lady who showed us around the place. It is mid-way between the new part of the city and the Alhambra, so in a very good spot. It's a pity we could not stay any longer.

The most amazing hostel and staff I have ever been to in all my travels. Loved it, wanna move in.
