Reviews of Posada Jose Bocanegra

29 January 2012 Jordi would recommend this property

Liked: Really cheap! I red very bad feedbacks about this "hostel" but it's not bad. If you want to meet a lot of people this is not your place, but for this price you have a very good option for to spend the time in the city and in the hostel just to sleeping or cooking.

Disliked: - No WI-FI. - You must call by PHONE to the staff! - They charged me a fee for the LINEN (1,5€) when I was my own sheets! - Small space in showers and WCs.

Liked: we were the only ones who stayed there... meaning there were no staff or clients! it was great if you want your own private hostel with no one around but if you want staff help and atmosphere then it's not for you.

Disliked: no staff

13 November 2011 Arlette would recommend this property

Liked: location-10 min walk to center! got a free upgrade to private rm w/ shower. Great deal for your money.

Disliked: There is no front desk/reception area so there's never anyone there. You have to call the person on your mobile. The atmosphere/ambiance creepy. It's not your usual hostal w/ lots of young people. I think most days I was there I was the only person in the building. You can easily get murdered there and no one would be the wiser.

Liked: It was a fairly good location. Only a ten minutes walk to Plaza Nueva and the Alhambra!

Disliked: It was not the cleanest. The bedding especially.

20 August 2011

Liked: Location

Disliked: You couldn't use the washing machine or use the kitchen. The room was dirty (dirty walls,sheets) and a smelly bathroom! The receptionist could not understand no English and was never there, if you had questions. No air condition.

16 August 2011

Liked: I liked that it was close to the Alhambra, and that it was at an affordable price, but that is not enough to justify staying here.

Disliked: Besides for the site misrepresenting itself on the site (linen not being free, no hot showers, check out time NOT 2pm but 11am, and not being clean), the receptionist was not at all friendly and did not make us feel at home. We could not ask her anything in either French, German, or English, so it was very hard figuring the are around us. During check in she had to call somebody who spoke English that we asked questions to, and she called a friend of hers to explain how the keys worked. Her friend was very nice, but we don't know what her position in the hostel was. It is just not worth "saving money" on. Spend a few more euros and stay at a real hostel.

10 August 2011

Liked: the only thing good about this property was the price, nothing else!!!!!

Disliked: For starters we waited for half an hour at the door before being let in. they did not except credit cards and did not have any change so we were unable to pay the full fund at the time of check in, the receptionist was very rude and understood absolutely no english. The lights did not work in the hall of kitchen. the room was no bigger than a prison cell and had the feel of one to. We were unable to use the fridges so our food when bad over our stay. there was absolutely no hot water the water did not even get warm. The room was not clean either there was hair all through the sheets, we also got the feel that there were things crawling over us in the night. the guest house had no feel of relaxation at all!

13 October 2010

Liked: It was cheap.

Disliked: No staff were there when we arrived even though we had both submitted an arrival time on hostelbookers and emailed ahead directly, receiving a confirmation from the hostel. We waited over an hour for someone to show up. There was a loud electronic water machine that turned on next to our room anytime anyone anywhere flushed a toilet. And that was supposedly an "upgrade" room. The sheets had myriad hairs threaded throughout.

11 September 2010 Melisa would recommend this property

Liked: The room was ok. The boy of the staff was nice

Disliked: Badly location. Not open 24 hs. We arrived at 1 AM and they did not open us, send us to an other hostel and we did not know where was it, we got lost in at Granada at 2 AM in the morning. We finally fond a taxi that takes us to the hostel. At least hostel members return us the money of the taxi.

Liked: It's cheap and the receptionist is not too fussy. The room and bathroom was clean. There are also a couple of facilities to use, such as a small kitchen, a washing machine and a pool table.

Disliked: Ther receptionist/owner was practically never there. We cannot connect to the ingenet, but some people managed to get it in the lobby.

19 April 2010 Joshua would recommend this property

Liked: Definitely the SMALLEST shower I have ever showered in before. No chance of fitting two people in there. The bed was a little hard and the sheets were a little on the not clean side, but the guy that checked us in definitely helped out. We had booked a room with bunk beds without realizing it and he got us fixed up on the spot with a better room with a bed to fit me and my girlfriend. From what we were listening to, it's a new hostel that is now open to the public so the facilities are not complete, the lounge wasn't much of one but overall its a nice place. We didnt meet anyone there since we only got to stay overnight but I would recommend it if you can deal with the TINY shower and the "cleanliness" of the sheets.

12 April 2010 jessica would recommend this property

Liked: Very good price. Clean and private. WIFI in common area. Kitchen. Close to some really cool graffiti on calle Molinos.Some tips for a good stay. Be accurate on arrival time. Phone before arriving as reception is not often staffed and otherwise you may have to wait outside. When the staff were there they were lovely with good English. Bring right change for room. Great option.

16 March 2010 Vaclav would recommend this property

Liked: Quite ok, only some problems with finding the staff, had to wait about 15 minutes in front of the house. This will probably improve during the season.

14 January 2010 Joao would recommend this property

Liked: The Hostel was at a quite good location, but still near to the Alhambra by foot, and from the center by bus (which are very good at Granada). The whole place was almost empty, so I don't know what it will seem in higher seasons.The (only 1) staff was very friendly and helpful, and we had the good surprise of finding a kitchen were we were able to cook.Despite the rooms being small the bed was very comfortable and we had a table for using the laptop.I think you can't ask for more at this price...

Disliked: Joao left no negative feedback.

Liked: I really appreciate my accommodation in that hostel. If you wish have proper rest after all day enjoy Granada is the best place in the world. Nice, clean, silent at night time. Rally good localization.

18 November 2009

Liked: It was cheap, however, lady at reception spoke no English, had no knowledge of our reservation until she rang the owner. She tried to charge us 28 euros rather than 18 and then when we gave her a 20 euro note, would not give us our change. She was very rude and took 15 minutes to actually open the front door. Room was cell like, not basic. There are absolutely no facilities for entertainment.

Liked: It's cheaper than other hotels.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

05 October 2009

Liked: Everything is clean but it seems to be a phantom hostel. The reception has nothing on it, and the only person 'responsable' didn´t knew about our reservation (and does not speak English). The room is very tight, with only 1 bed and a secretary. The bathroom doesnt have 1 meter square. The window overlooks to a building site. The location is good (10min from the center walking).
