A Good Place To Stay In Granada - If They Fix A Few Policies, It Would Be A Great Place
Liked: The building that the hostel is in is a retrofitted apartment building which is very spacious with lots of space to spread out. There are 3 patios, one downstairs and two upstairs as well as a sitting room and a co-working space. A lot of the of the other travelers were very friendly and it was incredibly easy to just hang out and chitchat.
Disliked: Unfortunately, the drug policy at this hostel is very lax. Someone was smoking marijuana on the lower patio, and because the cleaners leave the windows open after cleaning, the smell drifted up into my room all day. The room reeked of skunk weed. I wrote a note to management explaining the problem and suggesting they move all smoking to the upper patios. They replied that smoking isn’t allowed in the rooms and that guests are told to use the nearest patio. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, since there may have been a language barrier, but the smoking continued for my entire stay, and I suspect it may have been a staff member. It also didn’t help that the night before I left, someone who seemed to be on a psychoactive substance was laughing and crying hysterically in the narrow hallway outside my room. I didn’t enjoy writing this, and I tried to raise it with management privately first, but I think fellow travelers should know. If this gets resolved, it would be a 10/10 place.
Granada for 3 night's
Liked: Everything honestly. The staff was super nice, the activities were fun, everybody was super open and if you ever see anything that's dirty, the next time it won't be anymore. I've met some great people to travel with and had the best time with them. Would always come back.
Disliked: Nothing.
Belonging!
Liked: I fell in love with this hostel. Just as time seems to flow so gracefully in the Alhambra Palace—like water gliding over marble—I experienced a similar feeling here. It was as if the tranquility of Granada had seeped into every corner of the hostel. The old but spacious windows of the rooms make you feel like you are part of the street outside. Fresh air was always right beside me. I don’t know how much someone expecting a more modern place would enjoy this hostel. Personally, I love that sense of “belonging somewhere” that nostalgia can evoke, and I definitely experienced that here in every possible way. I came to understand, through my own experience, why the hostel’s regular guests—and people who occasionally return from other countries to stay here again—feel such a strong attachment to this place. I had some wonderful conversations with a few of them, and somehow, at some point in those conversations, the hostel itself would always become part of the story. That is why writing about the hostel’s facilities somehow feels beside the point. It is very rare for the relationship between time and place to affect a person so deeply, and that is the side of this hostel I wanted to write about. Eventually, our paths had to part. But I believe that somehow, life will bring me back to this place where time seems to pass so slowly. I hope I will be here again someday, and I know that returning will make me as happy as seeing a dear old friend after a long time apart. If I ever have the chance to come back, I will definitely stay much longer. Thank you for everything.
One of the best and cool hostels I have ever stayed at
Liked: Extremely cool building and location, right in a part of the city where you can easily walk to all the main spots or get tapas / food. Entire staff were amazing and extremely cool and welcoming, and so were the guests! Easy way to meet a whole lot of fun and like minded people. Would definitely recommend and plan to hopefully stay again one day!
