Makuto Backpackers Hostel Reviews

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.

not the cleanest hostel, but cool hippyish vibe, staff are really great and friendly. The breakfast is not great.

The rooms are very tiny with 3 level uncomfortable bunk beds. Guys and girls have the same bathroom, so you will see semi naked guys walking around... and its not as clean as it should be and smelled bad. You have to climb a hill to get there, so no big suitcases! But its an amazing climb, with Arab stores and curiosities. The chill out room was cool, the hammocks too. It says breakfast included, but its not, you have to pay 2 to 5 euro I believe. No activities, only walking tour at 5 pm.

Very friendly and helpful staff and awesome atmosphere. Just the facilities need a lil improvement and it was very noisy at night. However, the price was good and it is overall very recommendable.

This is a great hostel with character. The rooms were really clean, staff were friendly and really helpful, great location and they even offered a free tour of Granada. I couldn't have asked for more for my stay. I will definitely be recommending Makuto to anyone I know travelling to Granada.

muy lindo hostel, mucha onda!: lo unico para remarcar es que podrian idear un sistema para sacilitar el ingreo a las camas de "3 pisos":: sobre todo la del medio se hace muy engorroso entrar y salir:: pero por el resto impecable!! sin dudas volveria!!

very nice hostel...but if u have a heavy luggage...good luck!!

Loved this place. It has a very communal environment, so not the place to go for privacy; but if you are into meeting new people, there is no better choice in my opinion, especially as a lone traveler. I met the best group of people here and after three nights, the whole place -- staff and guests -- was like one big family.

Not a bad place. The staff was friendly, but they are not good with directions. Or telling you that there will be an airport shuttle at a specific bus stop at a specific time and it never shows up. If you're looking for a place full of hippies, you've come to the right place. Not saying that's a bad thing but if that's what you want then cool. I felt out of place. I've had numerous hostel experiences before, so take this with a grain of salt. This place is very average. Not sure how it won award

I was shocked when I see white spots on the sheet…I may be too sensitive.But like one user said before,if you are looking for a place to enjoy the international atmosphere,you can stay here,but if you are obsessive like me，better not.

This place has a very relaxed atmosphere, somewhat too relaxed for my liking. Staff are friendly but elusive. Hard to meet people as common areas are all too cold (visited in Janurary though) and not very good value for money in my opinion. I've stayed in better hostels.

Great staff. Great place. Great vibe. Totally and completely worth the walk up the hill! I would go back to Granada just to stay here again (not that Granada isn't worth the trip itself).

Great atmosphere, loved the free beer

Very cozy with a bar in patio, music playing all day, hammocks, restroom, instruments. Intended to stay 1 night but stayed for another wanting to make a tour (guide is a great storyteller). Was raining the next day so we spent it in the hostel - turned out to be an awesome idea :) We had a really good time we were fed & taken care of, entertainment delivered 100% of the time. Stuff was fantastic & hilarious, we were laughing and playing music all day long. Thanks a lot guys! We'll be back soon!

I was here on Christmas day. It was a small group with just a few guests and the staff, but a great experience. We made paella and I got a little drunk on Sangria. We then played guitar and drums while hanging out in the chill out room. It was a Christmas I'll never forget. Everyone working there was awesome... Dani, Syrmo, Ester, Ana, Aaron. Thanks guys, I hope to come back someday.

Absolutely oozing with character. And there´s a hidden location amongst the roofscape of Granada from where you have possibly the best view of the Alhambra that the whole city can afford. Yes, for in this view, sitting behind the Alhambra are the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada. The air is thick with magic ...

Makuto is a very wonderful hostel that represents the spirit of granada. This place is a unique, fun, and relaxing place to hang out and meet people. Be prepared to stay longer than you planned.
