It's a very lovely hostel once you have a look at it. The staff was very helpful. Though, the location makes it quite not car-friendly(for those bringing a car). There is a mosque just beside it, where Muslims might find that convenient to perform their daily prayers there if they wished to.

Oasis is an excellent hostel for young travellers looking for a cheap stay. It was hard to find and could be sign posted better, but once you know where it is, its is simple to get to the town centre. As silly as it may sound, the storage space for your bags etc is very good, unlike other hostels, where it is normally a small locker, Oasis provides quite a large draw. Overall an excellent stay, lovely atmosphere and very good value or money.

Wifi line was very poor coverage and water in showers on first floor was running very slow, the rest ok

I couldn't even put into he words just how amazing of an experience staying at the oasis was. They have created an atmosphere unlike any I have ever been part of in any hostel along my travels. Not only would I come back, I am already planning m return!

best hostel I´ve ever been to! I think that the people you meet really make a hostel and Granada has some wonderful spell that it turns everyone into a social creature! Walking tours are highly recommended and a great way of meeting people. Wifi didn´t work most of the time but there are free-to-use computers in the lobby. Shower was a bit pathetic in my room but that´s my biggest criticism. Lockers were very big and I felt safe. Thank you!

Nice staff and good location. A bit of an issue with there being one bathroom per dorm of up to 10 beds. Kitchen is a bit bright and canteen like. Nice roof terrace and little bar.

Dear J, Thanks for your comment. We do have extra bathrooms on the ground floor, to avoid any issues. However, one of it is situated at the very end of the bright kitchen, so, you may have to use sunglasses to reach it!! Kind Regards, Yann Oasis Granada

The location is great and the dinner in the hostel worths the money! the upper beds are a bit hard to climb. It would be nice if they had more public toilets since there are only one toilet in the dorm and could get very busy when everyone wants to use it in the morning.

Dear P, Thanks for your comment. You´re more than welcome to ask for a bottom bed at check in, if there is no other solution than the top bed, and, as we don´t provide any rope or spatial shuttle to get there. feel free to use the ladder. You can find extra bathrooms on the ground floor also, so, everyone can be happy in the morning. Kind Regards, Yann Oasis Granada

Easy to find, very near to Cathedral and Alhambra. Nice meal, especially around Christmas, Paella and some 3-course dinner. And welcome drink of the bar was cool. Only im complaining is small lobby, little small space for many backpackers.

Every one of the staff members were amazingly friendly and helpful, never once did I receive even a hint of attitude or unfriendliness. My online reservation didn´t show up and they took care of it with no problem. Michael in the Bar was helpful and fun. He had ran out of Sangria for the night, but offered to make more when I ordered one. They have nightly dinners, juggling shows, live music, and over all a laid back and lively atmosphere. The manager is especially kind and humorous.

Lovely place with good sturdy bunks with massive lockers below. Electronic keys for the front and room doors keep it nice and secure. The wifi is ok, the showers hot, the bar good and the atmosphere great. Would recommend this and Seville Oasis hostels.

Great staff. Best location to be in in Granada. Close to everything including night life. Main floor of hostel set up with full kitchen, bar and lounge area. Many activities planned including dinner some nights. Food is excellent, btw. Very social but the bedrooms are very quiet. Big lockers. The wifi wasn't that great. One of my favourite hostels.

I have stayed at this Hostel twice now and you can't get a better location! I like that the bedroom has it's own shared bathroom, bed was comfortable, typical breakfast although they did have pancake mix! No complaints at all

Good experience. Very good location (unless you are travelling by car.. but we found a free parking area 1Km far, so it was ok). Environment is comfortable both in common areas and in rooms. Clean and with a very big kitchen with many tools that can be used. In general, quite expensive (but I've been there during bank holidays), but good experience.

I was very happy to be at this cool hostel. I loved the time and effort that they put into managing the site for directions, and I loved that there was a juggling act going on in the lobby. Such a fun place to be.
