Makuto Backpackers Hostel Reviews

If you are a solo traveler and not wanting to be confined to your dorm this is the hostel to book. The communal areas have so much character and the staff and other guest are very welcoming and friendly. It has a cute bar with cheap drinks, they serve great dinners every night which helps people get together. The staff even try and get you out with them. I strongly recommend this. Best hostel in europe so far. I will definitely be back.

Brilliant place! Met lots of cool people and the staff were excellent!

Nice relaxed vibe, the place grows on you the longer you stay there, the staff are amazing and very helpful. The hostel even gives you a free walking tour and is always holding social events

Great location, fantastic staff and an all round great experience in a brilliant city. Highly recommended.

The hostel with the best atmosphere I've ever experienced in my life. The staff is absolutely helpful and will treat you like a brother, in addition they purpose a lot of initiatives, such as walking tour in non conventional spots and dinner together. Every night you'llgather in the amazing courtyard with people from all over the world. Maybe it's not the best for the winter because to get to the bathroom you have to pass at open air.

Very nice people, there was a great atmosphere.

A great hostel. Bohemian atmosphere, very easy to meet new people and chill out, but quiet from midnight so no problems sleeping either. Location is great, up in the old town and away from the tourists. Highly recommended.

This hostel is overrated! Yes, it has a really good atmosphere and nice and friendly staff but it also has too many people sleeping in one room (triple bunk beds!) and only ONE common bathroom (with 3 toilets/showers/sinks) for approx. 30 people! You're not allowed to wash your clothes in the sink (what about the backpacker's atmosphere?), the lockers are in the basement and the rooms can't be locked. The walking tour was excellent though ;) Note that they don't accept credit cards.

Makuto Backpackers Hostel was just perfect for me !!! In a old house in the most beautiful quarter of Granada, with a staff kind and super cool, I had so much fun there and just can't wait to turn back :-)

It is an amazing place in a beautiful city part called Albayzin. The hostel lives its own life, has a treehouse, really nice chillout space, hammocks and nice rooms. Only the bathroom is a bit too small, but its OK. The character of the hostel makes up for it.

Incredible place, full of good vibrations. Perfect welcome. That is really well placed, in the wondefull neighbourhood of Albaycin. And most important: the hosters are damnly nice!!!

one of the best hostels i ever stayed in. the atmosphere is great, the staff is very nice and they make you feel like home. loved the hammocks and the tree house. the walking tour was also really good. rooms are ok, never seen bunk beds for three people before... the bathroom is alright, only three showers so you have to wait sometimes. the location is pretty cool but it was kind of hard to find it because i didnt know where to leave the bus... you get lost very easily in that neighbourhood. :)

One of the best hostels Ive ever stayed at. Staff outstanding. Very cool place to hang out and chill.

This was my third stay at Makuto and I really enjoyed it. The staff are so helpful, the place is really with a pleasant atmosphere good and the location is really exotic in the Albayzin area. Makuto is a legendary hostel. A true backpacker's paradise :-)

What Makuto has to offer is bags of character. This place is certainly not your average run-of-the-mill hostel! On the plus side hammocks, a chill out room and a treehouse make this the perfect location to chill out after a hard days trek around the Alhambra. It's probably not for everyone, but the confined sleeping area and cramped communal bathroom are minor prices to pay. 8 out of 10 cats would definitely stay for more!

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed at.

Makuto is a great little hostel. Lots of character, and the paella on Friday nights is good. Portion sizes could be a little larger for 8 euro, though! It's a bit far from the center of town, but right in the middle of the old town, which is neat. Easy enough walk, though. The free internet / WiFi is pretty good, A great place to stay if you're in Granada!

Definitely a solid hostel--interesting people, nice outdoor garden area in the middle. I worried a little about my safety when I was walking back to the hostel at night (a few of the streets along the route are a little dark and abandoned), but nothing ever happened, so maybe I'm just paranoid. Overall clean, friendly, solid.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in with great character and staff. They have managed to get the simple stuff write and they've managed to get the simple things right. Perfect place to meet great people from the staff to the people staying. Excellent relax areas from music rooms to hammocks and a tree house. Thank you for a great time in Granada the Greeks!!

Laid back friendly hostel for travellers. Feels like you are having the perfect break from the world which is very appropriate in Granada. The Staff are fabulous making sure everyone is having fun and will help organise sight seeing. The free walking tour was great - quite different to normal walking tours however appropriate for Granada with its laid back alternative nature. Make sure you visit the Alhambra - its worth the hassle. All in all a fabulous hostel that I would recommend to anyone!!
