About
El Granado Hostel
El Granado Hostel sits on Calle Conde De Tendillas, a short walk from Granada's cathedral and the bus stop that heads up to the Alhambra. It's a 1.6 km walk to the Alhambra itself, and the surrounding streets are packed with restaurants and a small grocery store.
The property mixes old character with modern function — think preserved wooden beams, a beautiful staircase, and clean, warm rooms. There's a rooftop terrace, a shared kitchen, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to meet other travellers without any pressure to party.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Breakfast can be confusing — Some guests were unclear which fridge items were provided by the hostel versus personal food, and one reviewer noted having to bring their own breakfast ingredients. This may be an issue if you expect a set breakfast.
- No elevator — The property has no lift, which could be a challenge if you have heavy luggage or mobility concerns, especially if you're assigned a top-floor room.
- Limited privacy in dormitory rooms — Dormitory rooms are shared, and some have shared bathrooms. While lockers and luggage storage are available, this may not suit travellers seeking private facilities.

8.7Verified guest“I keep coming back because the staff are so helpful — they once tracked down my lost ID. The hostel has everything I need for a city break: Wi-Fi, a dryer, a shared kitchen, and more.”
8.7Verified guest“The staff were fantastic and gave us loads of information about the city. The apartment was spotless, with an updated bathroom and appliances, and comfortable beds. Location was great — about a 5-7 minute walk to the Cathedral and the Alhambra bus stop, with plenty of restaurants and a small grocery shop nearby.”
8.7Verified guest“Really enjoyable stay. The staff were especially friendly and suggested things to do with the kids, plus places to eat. Very central, and although not luxurious, it was clean, warm, and full of character. We were at the top and loved the old wooden beams and staircase, combined with modern furniture. Would definitely return.”
