I loved the hostel. It had a very cool and friendly vibe and was located in the atmospheric old town. The staff were very nice to me.

I stayed for another 2 weeks extra just because this is the most amazing hostel I have ever been to. Staff were excellent and the atmosphere was perfect. Along with the walking tours! Highly reccommend it if you are anywhere in Spain!

Great hostel with lots of character. Showers could be cleaner, there is no temperature control and if more then one person is showering the pressure and temperature drops pretty quickly.

The hostel staff was amazing, doing their best to make people feel as at home. Many thanks for the walking tour as well as for the dinner and party for the guests. Also thanks to the lady keeping the place shining clean! The hostel is located in one of the most charming places in the city with easy access to all sights. I would definitely stay again!

A fun place to stay, but the rooms were a bit cramped and the beds were uncomfortable with bunks stacked 3 high in some rooms. I couldn't help but get the sense the staff were more interested in making money than ensuring you enjoyed your stay. Dinner in the hostel for 9 Euros is pretty steep for backpackers, and I thought the rooms were overpriced for the quality of the facilities. There weren't enough powerpoints and breakfast is just toast.

This hostel is totally chilled out!! If you are looking for a place to relax, have a few drinks and meet interesting people in Granada then this is it! The staff are fantastic and I would definitely recommend the walking tour with Thomas :) The room and bathrooms are not brand new but the place has so much character it doesn't matter. So much atmosphere, and a dog that dances the tango. Ole!

The best hostel we´ve stayed in so far, hands down!! The greatest thing about this place is the staff, who help create the most friendly, care free and open-minded atmosphere ive ever felt in any hostel. Every night after reception closes, the staff make the effort to take you out to little gems of Granada that youd otherwise probably miss. With a treehouse, hammocks all around, & the best and cheapest mojitos in Granada (made with lots of love), you´ll never want to leave!! Katie & Iliya x

great vibe, great staff, GREAT welcome after walking uphill for ages with heavy bags. it's awesome with the treehouse and hammocks, and the beds we're sturdy and comfortable, and we lived in a cosy separate little house. far from the toilets though, and there we're only three (one for men one for women and one mixed) and only three showers (and you can't adjust temperature). it IS a great place, and i do recommend it, but it was a turn-off when the staff begged for a 100% review at check-out...

Great location in the middle of Albayzin. Funky decor and fantastic staff. Walking tour was great and they can recommend some great things to see/do. Hostel dinners were lovely but maybe just a little on the small size in terms of portions.

First of all, incredible staff, especially marta, but mike audrey and the others are really great and nice. they speak english spanish french so it's a great for travellers that dont speak spanish. Then, the location is perfect. 2 minutes from here, you can see the alhambra, beautiful view and the bus station is also 2 minutes from makuto. the albacin district is very nice and i strongly recommand to stay at leat 3 nights here in makuto in grenada.

Tiny rooms cramped with beds. A communal space with baths and showers for everyone which you have to get to from your room (might be a few filghts of stairs and open air in between). Other than that it was great, friendly staff, tree house, chill out zone and relaxed atmosphere.

The hostel is very well located. It is in the middle of Albaicin area and not very far away from sacromonte (10 minutes by walking). 30 meters away from the hostel a bus stop where you can get the bus to the Alhambra. Guys at the hostel were great, great, great !!! and the hostel itself is original. The way it is made it allows people to communicate each other in a great atmosphere. When I'll be back to Grenada I'll where to stay.
