12 June 2011 Corey would recommend this property

Liked: the ambiance, character, and public chill-out spots are second to none - hammocks and tree houses included (:

Disliked: you sacrifice personal space for a larger communal area, which is what hostelling is all about in my opinion - the bathroom was also some distance from the room. but still, one of my favorite hostels ever !

11 June 2011 scott would recommend this property

Liked: The atmosphere was amazing. I met some really interesting people and got to lounge out on the Hammocks. The closest plaza also has an amazing view of the Alhambra from across the gorge. Also the song in the morning was very entertaining.

Disliked: The rooms couldn't lock so you just had to trust people and there were only a few showers and I had to wait.

Liked: The hostel had a lot of character and I loved all the common spaces- bars, patio, tree house. I also appreciated the free lockers. The staff was friendly and inviting. I also met some of the coolest people at the hostel. I also loved the free walking tours.

Disliked: The rooms are tiny, but the common space more than made up for it. My only complaint would be the map! They provided a very poor map that is only relevant from traveling between the hostel and a few different sights. The map could not be used at all to navigate through the city.

Liked: Really fantastic atmosphere.

Disliked: The rooms were small! The smallest room I have ever stayed in.

08 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: great place to meet people and the staff was super awesome! Seriously, the staff was amongst the friendliest of anyplace I have stayed.

Disliked: It's not the best place to get a good nights sleep. The dorms I stayed in were open on three sides near the top (where the ceiling usually meets the wall). This meant that there was no sound barrier between the dorm and the bathroom (unisex shared) and the hangout area in the courtyard. They close off the kitchen and common areas at midnight but if there is anyone in the bathroom or in the rooms talking or snoring, you will still hear it from wherever you are in the dorms. Once you get to sleep, it's hard to stay that way past 8am, due to the same fact that you can hear everything! The night I was there they also played a "Good-morning" song at 8am that was really loud and annoying. They supposedly didn't play it the next night though. I stayed one night and am glad I did. The second night, however, I stayed in a place I could sleep.

04 June 2011 Sarah would recommend this property

Liked: Absolutely amazing hostel! The best I have stayed at... to find a hostel with this kind of atmosphere is a rare fine. It's so laid back, friendly, accommodating... you can either explore the awesome city of Granada or have just as great of a time visiting with the other travellers while sipping an A++ mojito, or chilling on a hammock. This hostel really provided an unforgettable experience - thanks so much to the awesome staff who we so helpful and welcoming!

Disliked: Natta!!

23 May 2011 Claire would recommend this property

Liked: I have stayed before and upon my second visit the stay was just as amazing. Everyone staying and working are all so friendly. The weather wasn't the best for this time of year but the staff made up for that by creating a fantasic atmosphere. Dinner can be brought in the hostel now , which is usually a pasta or soup, all of which is made by the staff and is lovely. We had a Crepe Day and an english 'Super' breakfast. loved it and can not wait to go back.

Disliked: N/a

17 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The people! Fantastic to meet other solo or groups of travelers. I almost didn't wanna leave the hostel to see the city!

Disliked: Triple high bunk beds, bit of a hike up hill... but both add to the charm. Plus you can always sleep in the "treehouse"
