4U Hostel

The place has a lovely old-building feel, like staying in something as distinctive as Granada’s monuments, but it still has the comforts you need. It’s right in the city center, close to everything, and about a 30-minute walk from the main train station. A heads-up for arrival: there may be nobody at reception when you first get there. There should be a card with your name and one for opening your room. Make sure you check the main entrance code the administration sends through the app, or you could be waiting a long time for someone to come by.

It felt very welcoming and familiar. The place was really clean, the beds and bathrooms were quite ok, and breakfast was good.

The receptionist was so welcoming and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. I’d highly recommend it.

The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the room worked well. The bathroom was clean, with enough water pressure to wash my hair. I did see a dead cockroach in the shared kitchen sink one morning. I’m guessing it was just bad luck that time. What bothered me more was the luggage storage: the website said it was available, but at checkout I was told it wasn’t. The staff kindly wrote down a nearby locker address, though €6 for the smallest space felt expensive when I only had a backpack. They could make this clearer in advance.
