Hostal El Momento Reviews

Hostal El Momento is a cute, funky hostel with a great outdoor patio.

The Location

This hostel is located in the heart of Granada just blocks away from the town center. It is easy to get to and from the hostel. Since the location is not too far from the town center, it is rather safe. Some other parts of Granada farther out can be fairly dangerous.

Rooms and Bathrooms

There are several rooms, both private and public. There are no female-only or male-only dorms, only one mixed dorm. On their website, the mixed dorm is called "small" but the dorm is fairly large, with about sixteen beds. The beds are a mix of twins and fulls. You get to select your bed upon arrival, so if you get there earlier in the morning (or if you go during the low season) you may select the bed of your choosing. There is one bathroom located in the mixed dorm, which is fairly dirty. In addition, there are two showers and bathrooms located in the courtyard; those bathrooms are a little cleaner.

Common Spaces

There is a large patio/courtyard in the middle of the hostel that is full of hammocks and very cute. In the back of the hostel, there is a small kitchen with a fridge that guests may use. Make sure to use the lockers on offer at the hostel, as our bathing suit got stolen. The hostel will provide you with a key in exchange for a small deposit and you are not required to bring your own lock. Furthermore, in the reception area there is a computer that guests may use.

The hostel charges for "clean" drinking water if you want to fill up your water bottle. However, the water in Granada is safe to drink and you may help yourself to the sink water for free. Upon arrival, all guests get a free small cup of juice. For an small extra price, guests may order breakfast, but it is not very good and it is fairly small, so we personally recommend not paying the hostel for breakfast. Granada is very cheap and you may find something yummier for less money in one of the nearby restaurants.

The lady who runs the hostel is fairly rude and unhelpful and is not willing to help out guests with travel plans unless they are booking a tour through her. However, the hostel does have many fliers about booking tours and things to do.

Summary

This hostel is recommended for its location and cheap price.
