Makuto was a really special place... the atmosphere was super relaxed and the people were all very helpful and friendly. It's an ideal place for young people looking for a place to chill out and meet interesting people from all over the world. I'd definitely like to return to Makuto again.

I was only there for one night but this hostel is so chill! It made me want to come back to Granada. The atmosphere is perfect and it impacted the way I took in the entire city the next day.

Man if you are looking for that rustic yet cozy hippie joint then this is your place. The building architecture and design was gorgeous; from the bar, to the hang out room with amateur artwork and trees going through it, to the actual treehouse itself in the center of the courtyard, the location is undoubtedly gorgeous. The staff is amicable, the facilities are satisfying (although the beds are a tad small), and the ambience is probably the best out of all the hostels I stayed in Spain.

Excellent experience and great fun. The staff members were helpful, informative, and fun. The vibe of the place, from the location in the old section of the city to the bar on site to the treehouse, is very chill. Although a bit hard to get to, it's well worth it.

Makuto was the first hostel I have ever stayed at and I fear that now my expectations for the next one will be too high. Makuto was relaxing, cool and full of life. It is located in a beautiful part of Granada and the staff can direct you pretty much anywhere. If you aren\'t completely sure what activity you are looking for that night, they make fantastic suggestions. The community there is lovely and I made lots of friends while staying a few nights there.

I loved Makuto. it's lovely, the staff are great, its in the albaycin which is fantastic and the bar in the courtyard is a great place to chill. dinner was delicious. The rooms are small, but comfortable, the bathrooms are fine- the showers are push button ones, but the water's hot. everything else was absolutely fantastic. It's a great place to stay, and i'll definaley stay here next time im in granada.

A fine place. Good vibes, pleasant staff. The neighborhood is really cool. The treehouse is nice to sit in during the day, naturally its colder at night. It seems that one pays a bit extra for the atmosphere, which is chill, by all Spanish means. Worthwhile particularly if you enjoy a good party.

Difficult to add much more. Our stay at the Makuto Backpackers Hostel was excellent. The room was good, the facilities and staff were outstanding. Great value for money and I will be recommending it to all my friends. Thanks.

I didn't like this hostel. the six bed dorm was not very clean, the same for the bathroom. there's just one bathroom for male and female, and we had to cross teh garden to get to the bathroom. and it's not a good thing if the weather is cold and you just had a shower. the kitchen is really small and the breakfast is not very rich. there's just one table in the kitchen and if there's more than 4 people eating together someone has to stand while eating. not recommended to families. costs too much.

Hi there... It is strange that you are the only one that doesn,t like our hostel.. but is more strange that one of our staff was staying on your same room and you were saying how much you were liking the atmosphere and it is even more strange that you left thanking us for a good stay.. oh man! sorry oh woman...not everyone likes the same... but "un consejo" be honest with yourself

This was by far my favorite hostel I've stayed in so far. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the staff was great. They gave us a ton of advice/help in figuring out where to go while we were in Granada, and back at the hostel were fun to hang out with. If you're a traveler looking to stay in a chill atmosphere with awesome people, this is the place to go to.

The hostel is a little bit far from the train station and to get there you'll need to climb the street. Its really difficult to get there walking with all your stuff. Staff was helpful, but a little bit busy with their own parties. The rooms are dark and small. Anyway, hosts were really nice. There's good place to chill out.
