Makuto Backpackers Hostel Reviews

I stayed in five hostels in granada over a week and a half, and makuto was by far and away the best. an extremely fun place in an excellent location. The staff were very friendly, creating a great atmosphere. nick is the bomb.

A superb hostel with a great atmosphere and situated in a perfect spot - just a couple of minutes walk away from El Mirador de San Nicholas, with the best view of the Alhambra in Granada. Very friendly staff and an excellent mix of people staying there, I'd recommend this place to anyone.

What can I say, I have been travelling on and off for the last two years and have stayed in numerous hostels but none that have made me feel quite at home as Makuto. It is an amazing atmosphere, in an amazing city that you will never want to leave. It can be a little tricky to find being up in the old section but the directions are clear enough. The staff were amazing and lots of fun and after trying two other highly rated hostels in the city I much prefered sitting in the treehouse in the sun.

it is the best hostel I have ever been. I met absolutely amazing people. Staff is fantastic, food is good, internet is good, hot water and warm rooms when they switch on the heating, they do after 17-18. rooms to chill out, customers willing to have fun, helpful staff... fantastic.

Absolutely loved staying at this hostel!! The staff was wonderful and the people we met were awesome and so chill. They made us dinner that night which was so delicious and then everyone from the hostel left together for the club. would recommend this hostel to ANYONE, definitely a highlight of our weekend trip in granada.

I LOVE THIS HOSTEL!!! When my friends and I arrived here we were tired and worn out but right as we entered the patio our moods immediately and we couldn't help but be happy and relaxed. We had a great time swinging in the hammocks, drinking at the bar, and hanging out in the "chill out area." Louis (one of the many friendly staff) made an AWESOME dinner!! I could not have been happier with my choice to stay at Makuto!

Great hostel, really friendly staff. Enjoyed my times there, could have easily stayed longer. Some staff did seem to slack a bit, they double booked my bed and weren't awake in the morning to help me check out. But other staff were more then helpful to fix the problems. Breakfast incl. and great night atmosphere with music instruments to play. This was a real bonus and made for one of the best nights I've had in spain! Thank you guys so much, if ever back in Granada I will come back to Makuto.

Very friendly staff, warm welcome, lots of interesting people to meet! best possible way to experience Granada's laid-back way of life. Lies in the heart of the Albaicin, close to beautiful viewpoint of the Alhambra and the cosy streets where the Teteria's and little shops are.

My stay at makuto was amazing. the people were awesome, the vibe was so chill, and I felt so at home. Sorry it took so long for the review... I miss you guys. Hope everything is going well for everyone. Hopefully I will see you all soon. Call me if you come to Cali! -peace

Staff was friendly.

Beautiful location, the staff was wonderful, i felt right at home straight away. They have everything that I consider a "must" for great hostels but that people tend to undervalue: heating in the winter, separate bathroom with hot showers and big lockers. Unless you are a midget though I recommend avoiding the middle bunk or you will spend 10 minutes trying to get to bed like I did :)

I have been to 15 different hostels. This is my favourite! Fantastic hostel with amazing staff that are happy to help, have a chat and give advice. Awesome courtyard to socialise and meet travellers. They have a bar for cheap drinks and offered us a welcome drink on arrival. Have a cool treehouse and hammocks to relax in. Location is in the cool old town area, near food and nightlife and cool shops. Short walk to Fortress palace. WiFi throughout hostel. Lockers provided. Very comfy beds.

really cool hostel. definitely one of the most interesting hostels ive found around the world. has a very cool courtyard with hammocks and a treehouse along with a good chill out room. staff are really friendly and its in a great part of granada. if you dont know yr way around definitely get a taxi from the train station or wherever cos you will definitely not be able to find the place.

Fantastic hostel. The treehouse is brilliant. I had to keep delaying leaving because I was having such a good time.

One of the nicest hostels I have stayed so far! The staff were great fun, everything was clean and the atmosphere was awesome! Can't recommend this place enough! The on,y problem is that you wont want to leave the place and see Granada! (do it, the Alhambra is gorgeous!)

The place is great. The staff is friendly and very welcoming. Recomend it highly

Makuto Backpackers Hostal was an awesome place. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the location is great. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to anyone wanting to travel Granada.

Very good location, Nice Free working tour :) Good information from staff.

Though staff provided a warm welcome (complimentary drinks, everyone was so friendly and helpful) and much creativity has gone into this place (tree house and cute outdoor bar), the building is too small for the number of beds they pack into it! Our tiny room had 2 tripple bunks, which you couldnt even sit up on and there was nowhere to put your stuff. There were makeshift rooms built into the hallway. I would rate this hostel quite highly but the lack of space was really frustrating.
